Abstract

Unless you have a precise description of your product's requirements, it is very unlikely that you will satisfy them. Only if the implementer already has a deep understanding of the problem can you hope to come close without documenting the requirements. Even in that case, potential disagreements make producing a requirements document worthwhile.
