requirements

This should be enough. "Kravbild" refers to little more than a group of predefined requirements.

I think "specifications" is too limited in meaning. "Kravbild" means the overall picture of requirements. E.g. a kravbild for a product may include anything from required technical specifications (voltage, dimensions, etc.) to requirements regarding user friendliness, customer satisfaction, psychological reactions, etc.

Alternatively, you may try something like "required profile", where "profile" presumably is as general in meaning as Swedish "-bild".

In this case, you would need the definite article by the way: "...against the requirements/required profile..."

The "-bild" refers to that there is a (pre)conception of the requirements, that they are defined beforehand. You could optionally capture this by adding a suitable adjective, e.g. thus: "specified requirements".

pattern of requirements

Purely guessing - I've just seen this by chance in an old newspaper article, and thought it might fit.

Support calls may come in waves - is the system geared to cope with them, things like that?

specification

I think what they mean is that the final version of whatever it is (software?) is made operational, and validation against the specification is done in the form of tests and delivery acceptance.

requirement specification

This might also be a possibility
Peer comment(s):

neutral Thomas Johansson : Better with "requirements specification" in this case, i.e. with a plural -s.

specifications and demands profile

When I worked with the IT project people at a bank, their kravbild was a combination of customer specifications and demands from other sources.
