Chapter 11 (Harpreet Singh Brar)


Non- functional requirements

Non- functional requirements are properties that the functionality must have. The functionality can be represented either by a product use case or its constituent functional requirements. The eight major non-functional requirements for this product use case in chapter 11 are:

1  Look and Feel requirements
2  Performance requirements
3  Maintainability requirements
4  Operational requirements
5   Legal requirements
6  Security requirements
    Political requirements
8   Usability requirements

Cultural Requirements

Cultural requirements specify special factors that would make the product unacceptable because of customs, religion, languages, prejudices, or almost any other aspect of human behavior. These requirements are necessary when we try to sell a product into a different country or in another culture.

The Brown Cow Model in Agile

There are reports stating, “agile does not help in innovation”. As there is a pressure to develop anything, they can produce within the time allowed. The greatest pressure is for maintaining the speed of the project, not for its innovative solutions. When we talk about innovation it means new thinking. We do not mean that innovation is invention. Innovation is different thinking about the business problem with the intention of finding beneficial solutions. User stories that are not based on real business stories will always have a hard time being innovative. Without some innovative thinking, it is very easy to propose only that you increment something and let it go through it.
