A requirements module is a way to group related software requirements that describe a specific function of a system. Usually, it collects software requirements that are related to a specific feature of software.
How these requirements are organized into modules depends on the project and is decided by the analyst. Unlike business requirements, which focus on business objectives or user needs, we recomment to organize requirement modules should based on the software's structure.
Modules can group together a small number of requirements, like basic (CRUD) operations for one entity, or a larger set of requirements, including multiple operations and extra features.
Requirement modules are useful in projects with many requirements, as they help manage the development and testing process without needing to look at each requirement separately.
In business requirements, one requirement might address several needs (many-to-many). In contrast, modules group and software requirements connect in a one-to-many way.
