   <seg id="preview">As we establish requirements, they should be recorded in some way for future reference, usually called a requirement specification. Furthermore, it is advisable to show these requirements to stakeholders, and refine requirements based on their feedback.
     The next phase is to convert requirements into a product specification that specifies how the product will address the requirements. </seg>

 <p>This is the most straight forward way of describing requirements. A textual description can be used to give a quick overview of the domain/system that is understandable to both the users and the development team. Textual descriptions are especially useful
