Abstract:
Functional Requirements are the primary focus of software development projects for both end users and developers. The Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) are treated as a secondary class requirement, ignored until the end of the development cycle. They are often hidden, overshadowed and therefore, frequently neglected or forgotten. Non-functional requirements are sometimes difficult to deal with and are the most expensive in certain cases. There is still a lot of work on NFR modeling that allows a framework for transforming NFRs into software code. Developing a software system with functional requirements only is not enough to build a good and useful software. NFRs should become an integral part of software development. In this paper, we focus on the modeling of NFRs and the transformations to the source code. Specifically, we choose three NFRS: response time, concurrency, user response time for a Theater Booking system.
