Functional Requirements Document (FRD)
Defines in logical terms, how a system or project will accomplish the requirements laid out in the BRD. It outlines the functionality of the system in detail by capturing the intended behavior of the system, expressed as services, tasks or functions that the developers have agreed to provide. an FRD focuses on what users might observe when interacting with the system.
