A quality attribute expresses a capability or a
requirement. By grouping a set of relevant quality attributes, a
service can be defined by its quality that states how "well" the
service works / should work. [CD-IA-1.1.1] {SYN: Quality Parameter,
Quality Dimension}{SPC: Performance, Dependability, Security, Data-Related
Quality, Configuration-Related
Quality, Network- and
Infrastructure-Related Quality, Usability, Quality of Use Context, Cost} |
In systems engineering and requirements engineering, a non-functional requirement is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviors. This should be contrasted with functional requirements that define specific behavior or functions. Non-functional requirements are often called qualities of a system. [Wikipedia] | |||
