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.
