Question

What is the role of specifications in quality planning, and How do operational definitions link specifications to requirements?

Answer 1

The role of specifications in quality planning is that through proper technical and commercial specifications, a description about the product is obtained and the product parameters are identified. These parameters result in ensuring process correctness while doing quality planning. Also product features are obtained through the specifications which are required for proper quality planning of a product. Operational definitions link specifications to requirements because these definitions govern the product features which are incorporated in the product specifications as well and finally govern the product requirements based on the varying features as defined by operational definitions. Moreover these definitions ensure correctness of product specifications which increases process reliability and product requirement efficiency increases.
