How to review Functional specification Document (FSD)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

My current requirement is to review Functional spec document and then create a TS out of it.

What are the basic Questions or clarifications that needs to be kept in mind before reviewing FS..so that I can clarify them before I create a TS.

Do we have any blog or any links which explains about the key points to be clarified to review a FS.

It would be a great help.

Cheers,

Karthick
