Software Requirements define what a software system should do, covering both functional and non-functional aspects. They serve as a foundation for design, development and testing.
Types of Requirements:
- Functional Requirements: Describe specific behaviours or functions of the system (e.g., user authentication).
- Non-Functional Requirements: Define performance criteria such as security, usability and scalability.
Clear and comprehensive requirements are essential for successful project outcomes, guiding teams throughout the development lifecycle.
