Anybody have good requirement document templates

.NET

Hello guys (and gals),

Anybody have good requirement documents that they could send me (or a link to one)?

I am building some simplier web apps and collaborating with a couple other developers, and I was wanting something that would:

  1. help promote the initial design thought process
  2. Identify different steps and pieces that could be developed by different people.

I have asked a number of developers in my local user group, and I dont know if they are a treasured secret, or if nobody uses them, because I cant get my hands on anything.

Thanks for any help

I would think, honestly, that no such document exists. There are several reasons for this.

  1. Different platforms require different methodologies and practices.
  2. Requirements and steps may be different depending on client input.
  3. The communities you asked at probably all use DDD (domain driven development) in which such documents are self-realizing things, created during developer-client interaction.

Hope that helps.

So you dont use any type of functional requirements or specification document before starting on a project?

I worked for 10+ years writing COBOL for a big firm, and we had business requirement and technical requirement documents. I can use one of those as a template, but surely somebody has a document that causes pre-development thought and documentation about web layout, client-side scripts, server side classes and functionality, database layout, error handling, and other things I dont know about.

I am not too familiar with OO programming, and I feel like I am missing parts as I start new projects.
