Requirements
Actors
Actor name | Role definition |
---|---|
The Iroha peer | One of active peers of the Iroha network, accessible by network for the current user. |
The administrator | The user of the Iroha network with the extended rights towards manipulating the peers and network configuration |
The user | Generic user of the Iroha network with common list of permissions (required permissions are always mentioned in the use case Preconditions) |
Functional requirements
For describing functional requirements, we should follow the default use case template by example:
Use case title | [FR0000] Example use-case; ID should be unique |
---|---|
Status | DISCUSS REVIEWED DECIDED POSTPONE |
Source | Source (or list of sources) of the function: project name / stakeholder name / document title (e.g., whitepaper) / etc. |

Use case ID formula
Assuming, that each section would not have more than 100 use cases, the use case ID should be formed using that template:
FR<section_number> <use_case_number_in_section_starting_from_zero>
For example, for second use case in section 02 it should be:
FR02 01
