Using Requirements Specification Patterns

Our recommendations identify a minimum set of specification patterns for each
problem frame. Any pattern not included in a recommendation may be useful for
a particular system. Therefore our failure to recommend does not infer a
recommendation not to use.

The scope of many systems encompass multiple problem frames, for example
workpiece and information (CRUD) or communication and control. The
requirements for these multi-frame systems should contain the spec patterns of
each component frame.
