| Section | What to Look For | |--------|------------------| | | What system/process the spec covers (e.g., “daily EDP for payroll data”) | | Performance Requirements | Throughput (transactions/sec), latency, uptime (99.9% etc.), data volume | | Data Formats | File layouts, field types, delimiters, encoding (ASCII, UTF-8) | | Processing Rules | Validation, transformation, aggregation, error handling | | Interfaces | Input sources (APIs, message queues, flat files) and output destinations | | Security | Encryption at rest/in transit, access controls, audit logging | | Error & Recovery | Retry logic, dead-letter queues, checkpoint/restart procedures | | Compliance | GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS (if applicable) | | Testing Criteria | Sample inputs and expected outputs, performance benchmarks |
This refers to the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard for connecting screens to processors internally (common in laptops and tablets).
| Red Flag | Why It’s a Problem | |----------|--------------------| | No version number or date | Impossible to know which spec is current | | “TBD” or “to be defined” for critical interfaces | Scope creep or rework guaranteed | | Contradictions between text and data tables | Ambiguity leads to failed acceptance tests | | No error handling definition | System will crash or silently corrupt data | | Missing non-functional requirements (latency, concurrency) | Will fail under real load |
⭐⭐⭐ While PDFs are searchable, older scanned EDP documents (common in the government sector) are not OCR-optimized, making text searching impossible. Modern hardware specs are usually text-based and easy to navigate.
