Best Practices
Use standard format for all requirements (requirements template, requirements guidelines).
Consistently use language. For example, use "shall" for mandatory requirements (that must be supported), and "should" for desirable requirements (that are not essential).
Use text highlighting to identify key parts of the requirement.
Avoid the use of computer jargon.
Make documents self-contained (e.g. include glossaries and complete examples).
