The system in which our application must run has a specific version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed and it may not be changed.

Therefore I have written a system requirement for my team, which we shall test later (before delivering the finished product). Can somebody confirm if my wording here is ok/nok? I'm mostly insecure about the JVM part because I don't really know the intricacies of how Java runs.

RedactedApplicationName shall be able to run in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.0_241 64bit.

Note: we follow the standard Volere Requirements Specification template.

    The requirement is meant to communicate to the team some information. Why don't simply ask the developers if your statement encompasses what you mean to inform? – João Farias Sep 28 '20 at 21:58

I think this site can help you out. The bottom line is this picture:

In your case, you can easily leave out the part about the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) since that is already present in Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Therefore, your requirement could read:

RedactedApplicationName shall use Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.0_241 64bit.

  • Oh right yes that makes sense, because I suppose there may be relevant Library Classes in that specific JRE version. – Stuart Sep 28 '20 at 16:25
