Non-Functional Requirements: The Backbone of Great Software - Part 2

ByteByteGo

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are as critical as functional requirements because they define a system's qualities and operational parameters. Functional requirements specify what a software product should do (for example, “users must be able to log in”). However, non-functional requirements define how well it must accomplish these tasks under real-world conditions (for example, “the login process should respond within two seconds under peak load” or “all user c
