Examples

Usage: Rules, Generic , insist on making a visual distinction between significant specs and non.


Notes

Such (non-trivial Cost) Specification-Defects are called Major-Defects.

Contrast with “Non-Significant-Specification (Comment) that contains potential for Minor-Defects only.

Non-Significant-Specification is typically found in Commentary, Notes, footnotes, introduction summary, and Background. But “comment” may be interspersed with Significant-Specification.

Rationale: this distinction is useful so that we can focus our energy on Significant-Specification in doing spec QC and in evaluating the density of Major-Defects.
