Software Requirements Engineering Principles and Practices

Software Requirements and Their Types

Software requirements are statements that describe what a system should do and how it should behave. They act as a foundation for designing, developing, and testing software.

Functional Requirements (FR)

Functional requirements define what the system must do by describing specific functions or tasks.

  • Examples:
    • “The system shall allow users to log in using a username and password.”
    • “The system shall generate monthly sales reports.”

Non-Functional Requirements
