In the software market place, in which functionally equivalent
products compete for the same customer, Non Functional Requirements
(NFRs) become more important in distinguishing between the
competing products. However, in practice, NFRs receive little
attention relative to Functional Requirements (FRs). This is mainly
because of the nature of NFRs which poses a challenge when taking
the choice of treating them earlier in the software development.
NFRs are subjective, relative and cross-cutting. Furthermore, NFRs
can often interact, in the sense that attempts to achieve one NFR
can help or hinder the achievement of other NFRs at particular
software functionality. Such an interaction creates an extensive
network of interdependencies and tradeoffs among NFRs which is not
easy to trace or estimate. This book contributes towards achieving
the goal of managing the attainable scope and the changes of NFRs.
It proposes and empirically evaluates a formal and quantitative
approach to modeling and assessing NFRs. The applicability of this
work should be especially useful to researchers in the requirements
engineering field and the participators in software industry.
