Hi,

A software engineer should be able to determine potential problems or risks. So this is implicit requirement. A software engineer needs to implicitly understand "how the system is designed?" to know the system properly and to make the system work in a very efficient manner by identifying risks.

Implicit requirements are gathered from experience and proper understanding of the application.

Clients provide us only with the explicit requirements in the form of documents. But it is the responsibility of the software engineers to identify the potential problems which clients obviously always cant. Here where experience of software engineers and complete understanding of the system comes into play.

Thanks

For example the explicit requirement of the client is the saving account should be opened by managers and to open one reference is necessary.

In this the implicit requirement is the Referrer should hold the account of same bank so implicit requirement are those requirement with are not direct requirement but the Business analyst must have the skill to retrieve the logical requirement from it.

Explicit requirements are the requirements expressed by the Business users where as the Explicit requirements are hidden and it should be self analyzed the implicit requirements that would lead to explicit requirements. Business Analyst and System analyst is responsible to certain the implicit requirements. This usually happens in elicitation process.
