Non-functional requirements are criteria to judge that the system performs its functions the right way. For instance, the max downloaded file size is 1 Gb, it should be downloaded within 12 seconds, etc.

Examples

  • Scalability
    It tells what amount of data or number of users the system should be able to process.

  • Performance
    How fast a certain system functions should be performed.

  • Fault tolerance
    How fast the system should be restored in case of an unexpected issue.
