Thread-topic: Requirements writing guidelines from NASA

I was about to write an email to the list with something I also retrieved from my university studies that could be a starting point, of course the NASA page looks appealing a lot.

Anyway I put it here, this is a slide deck from one of my professor:

Page (lesson: 1 Requirements Analysis):

https://retis.sssup.it/~marco/teaching/embeddedsystems/lessons/

Slides:

https://retis.sssup.it/~marco/files/lesson1-requirements_analysis.pdf

At slide 20 it shows how a requirement should be written in natural language.

Kind Regards,
