Best Practices
Do's
- Trace to threats - Every requirement should map to threats
- Be specific - Vague requirements can't be tested
- Include acceptance criteria - Define "done"
- Consider compliance - Map to frameworks early
- Review regularly - Requirements evolve with threats
Don'ts
- Don't be generic - "Be secure" is not a requirement
- Don't skip rationale - Explain why it matters
- Don't ignore priorities - Not all requirements are equal
- Don't forget testability - If you can't test it, you can't verify it
- Don't work in isolation - Involve stakeholders
