Modeling the Impact of Non-functional Requirements on Functional Requirements

摘要

To develop quality software and systems, both functional and nonfunctional requirements need to be taken into account at the same level of abstraction; and must be traced throughout the development cycle. The concept of goal has been widely used and adopted to represent functional and nonfunctional requirements. However the issue of the impact of non-functional requirements on functional requirements has been rarely addressed. The aim of this paper is to propose a first contribution to this issue.
