nonfunctional requirements
General
NFR-1 Do the requirements conform to CxCheck_Requirements?
NFR-2 Are the requirements stated in a specific and
measurable form? (e.g. 10 sec vs. fast)
Reliability
NFR-3 Are the reliability (MTBF) requirements specified?
NFR-4 Are the availability (up time) requirements specified?
NFR-5 Are the serviceability (MTTR) requirements specified?
NFR-6 Are the robustness requirements specified?
Performance
NFR-7 Are the response time or latency requirements
specified?
NFR-8 Are the throughput requirements specified?
NFR-9 Are the data volume requirements specified? (input,
stored, output)
NFR-10 Are the peak or short-term load requirements
specified?
Hazard/Safety/Security
NFR-11 Are the security requirements specified?
NFR-12 Are the safety requirements specified?
Configurations
NFR-13 Are the supported configurations specified?
NFR-14 Are the compatibility requirements specified?
(backwards, other applications, etc.)
Usability
NFR-15 Are the usability requirements specified?
NFR-16 Are the internationalization/localization requirements
specified?
NFR-17 Are the look and feel requirements specified?
(e.g. color schemes, standards, etc.)
Operational
NFR-18 Are any operational constraints or requirements
specified? (e.g. the user must be able to
operate the system using ski gloves)
Specification Methods
NFR-19 Does the specification conform
to CxCheck_SoftwareRequirementsSpecification?
Functional Requirements are MUST TO HAVE (The system
will not function without these requirements);
Non-Functional Requirements are NICE TO HAVE (The system
will work however, NFR will increase the usability or
performance related issues.)
Here are some key categories of non-functional requirements:
1. GUI look and feel requirements
2. Performance requirements
3. Capacity requirements
4. Security requirements
5. Availability requirements
6. Exception Handling requirements
7. Logging requirements
8. Extensibility requirements
9. Data Retention requirements
etc.
