supplement:

1. Functional requirements belong to: system characteristics

2. The software interface documentation includes:

   • Links between the product and external components
   • Declares the purpose of exchanging data, information and control commands between software organizations
   • Identify the data that will be shared between components

3. Software interface documentation does not include: communication between hardware and software

4. The entire process of selecting and using templates in requirements specification activities is: standard templates, organization templates, project templates, and project software requirements specification documents.
