[Year 12 SofDev] Non-Functional requirements - SRS

[Mark KELLY]

Hi Claudia. I think of nonfunctional requirements as if they were *
adjectives*, e.g. the software must *be:* fast, reliable, accurate, secure.

The functional requirements I treat as *verbs*, e.g. it should be able to *
do*: process, sort, print, calculate, display, store, search.

In a way *both* of them are objectives in that the developers want to
achieve them.
