In engineering, a requirement is a condition that must be satisfied for the output of a work effort to be acceptable. It is an explicit, objective, clear and often quantitative description of a condition to be satisfied by a material, design, product, or service.

A specification or spec is a set of requirements that is typically used by developers in the design stage of product development and by testers in their verification process.
