This course is designed for IT professionals involved in software development projects who aim to enhance the quality and usability of their software by effectively identifying and managing non-functional requirements (NFRs). It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to integrate NFR considerations early in the development lifecycle to ensure robust and user-centric applications.
Participants should have experience in software development or project management. No prior experience with non-functional requirements is required.
The Non-Functional Requirements Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of NFRs, their significance, and the challenges associated with them. Participants will explore the characteristics of NFRs, learn methods to identify and gather them, and understand the importance of incorporating them from the outset of a project. The course includes practical workshops to apply concepts to real-world scenarios, facilitating a deeper grasp of how NFRs impact software quality and user satisfaction.
Key Topics Covered:
• Introduction to non-functional requirements and their role in software development
• Characteristics and categories of NFRs relevant to various organizations
• Challenges in specifying, measuring, and testing NFRs
• Techniques for identifying and gathering NFRs, including questionnaires and proxies
• Approaches to quantifying and representing NFRs for effective communication
