Tridev,

A while ago I posted a scenario that might answered your question. A KEY difference between BRD and FRS is the BOUNDARY (the square box of the usecases)

Have a read

Re: Business Requirement V/s Functional Requirement 

They both describe system behavior (system being both people and/or computers).  Now, ask yourself if there is a need for two.   Any experienced data flow diagramer will tell you of course not.  I can create a set of DFD's with my top level context diagram representing all people and all computers in a large organization and all the manual and automated activities that occur - including highest level business goal setting.

So why have two?  The answer is not logical but political.

Thanks a Lot Mr. K... The link provided by you has clear matter about Business and functional requirement... 

Still i would like to know more

1. If we are developing a software product how do we know about what and how many usecases  do we require to make it a complete workable product? 

2. Can we club both  Business Requirement and Functional Requirement into one single document; so that developer can understand and code the project accordingly.

Please provide your valuable feedback...

It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
