Specification tree
A specification tree or tree diagram is a type of schematic diagram or tool that helps identify the requirements or processes related to specification. Tree specification on the other hand is actual process of selecting and describing specific tree types or species.
Specification trees resemble flow or relationship diagrams, in a similar way to, for example family trees, they usually show the stages or hierarchy of a specification process and the relationships between the different elements. Specification tress can be used in a range of fields where technical systems need to be described, designed or produced, they are commonly used in software development.
