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
