Questions and Answers

What is the primary focus of Functional Requirements (FRs) in software engineering?

  • The user experience and interface design
  • The qualities or constraints of the software system
  • The specific functions or behaviors the system must perform (correct)
  • The performance metrics of the software

Which statement correctly describes Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)?

  • NFRs define the performance and usability attributes of the system. (correct)
  • NFRs specify what the system shall do and its functionalities.
  • NFRs outline specific tasks the system must accomplish.
  • NFRs are primarily concerned with user authentication features.

Which of the following is an example of a Functional Requirement?

  • The system should provide an intuitive user interface.
  • The system shall allow users to log in using their username and password. (correct)
  • The system must be compatible with all mobile devices.
  • The system should be fast and responsive.

  • Examples include user authentication, data storage, and search functionality.

Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)

  • NFRs describe how the software should behave.
  • They define qualities, performance, and usability constraints.
  • They specify how the system performs or is used.
  • Typically framed using phrases like "The system should..." or "The system must...".
