Requirements document what is needed - they shouldn't specify the how, but the what.

Specifications document how to achieve the requirements - they should specify the how.

then what is requirement specification document...

And also what documents are needed to start writing testcases....

Thank you

The sound-bite answer is that requirements are what your program should do, the specifications are how you plan to do it.

Another way to look at it is that the requirements represent the application from the perspective of the user, or the business as a whole. The specification represents the application from the perspective of the technical team. Specifications and requirements roughly communicate the same information, but to two completely different audiences.
