Operational requirements, which are non-functional requirements, pertain to the effective utilization of a software system. They encompass aspects like stability, performance, scalability, availability, and security. These requirements significantly influence the software system's usability and acceptance. Therefore, primarily the customers and users of a software system show interest in its operational properties and are affected by them. This is different from Developmental Quality. --- ## Tags #SoftwareDevelopment #OperationalRequirements #NonFunctionalRequirements #SoftwareSystem #Usability #Performance #Scalability #Security --- ## Related Concepts 1. [[Software Quality Assurance]]: This is the process of monitoring and improving the quality of a software system, which includes checking operational requirements like performance, scalability, and security. 2. [[System Analysis]]: This involves studying how a system should work and devising ways to meet operational requirements. 3. [[Software Testing]]: This is a method used to check if the software system meets the specified operational requirements before it's deployed. 4. [[User Experience (UX)]]: This refers to a person's emotions and attitudes about using a particular product, system or service, which can be affected by operational requirements like usability and performance. 5. [[Software Maintenance]]: This involves modifying and updating software after delivery to correct faults and improve performance, often in response to changes in operational requirements. 6. [[Disaster Recovery Planning]]: Involves developing strategies for responding to unplanned incidents that could affect operational requirements like availability and security. 7. [[Load Testing]]: A type of non-functional testing that checks how well a system can handle multiple users or operations at the same time, related to scalability requirement. 8. [[Security Audit]]: A systematic evaluation of the security of a company's information system by measuring how well it conforms to a set of established criteria - related to security requirement. 9. [[Business Continuity Planning]]: Involves creating systems of prevention and recovery from potential threats affecting operation requirement like availability. 10. [[System Monitoring]]: Process of continuously observing the performance characteristics of systems such as response time, resource usage etc., related with performance requirement.
