System and method for improving recovery of a telecommunications network from an unscheduled loss of service using repeatable requirements for applications by design criticality classification

Abstract

A system provides repeatable requirements for projects designed for criticality. A user interface outputs a list of business requirements for a project to assist in functional requirement selection, outputs a set of general functional requirements associated with an application that is associated with the project for selection, and receives selection of the set of general functional requirements. A server determines a design class for an application based on the selection, wherein the design class is based at least in part on at least one of an upstream application and a downstream application, wherein the application depends on the upstream application, and wherein the downstream application depends on the application. The user interface also outputs specific functional requirements for the application based on the design class for the application, receives selection of the specific functional requirements, and outputs a list of selected specific functional requirements to assist in developing system requirements for the application.
