Information on Derived Requirement
A derived requirement is one that was not explicitly stated by a stakeholder but has been derived as part of the requirements analysis process. A derived requirement is therefore not directly stated by a primary source but is derived by systems engineers from an explicit statement of requirement. Derived requirements are therefore inferred during the design process and normally result form some trade-off study as part of the functional and physical design processes. The requirements management process provides a mechanism to trace derived requirements as they are created.
