The requirements are used to define the design in detail, including inputs, processes, outputs, and interfaces as well as to permit further detailed project management planning. Detailed specifications are developed to support the IT solution that fulfills the requirements for a particular release. The requirements and logical description of the entities, relationships, and attributes of the data are defined and allocated into system and data design specifications. Initial traceability is started between requirements, design, and solution testing. These design specifications are organized specifically to be suitable for implementation and testing within the constraints of a physical environment (e.g., computer, database, and infrastructure).
