Activity Information

Write Quality of Service Requirement

Description

Quality of service requirements are used to capture non-functional requirements or constraints on the functionality of the system. Quality of service requirements must be precise and not subjective in their definition. The description must provide enough information that a developer can design and code functionality that meets the quality of service requirement.

Roles

Steps

  1. Document the Quality of Service Requirement:
    Add a description of the quality of service requirement in the description field of the quality of service requirement work item. Use the following language template when developing the quality of service requirements, <context>, <stimulus>, <response>. Be sure that the quality of service requirement is testable and leave design to the architects and developers.

    If the brief description is not sufficient for complete understanding, write a more detailed form, providing goals and rationale. Clarify an vague or ambiguous areas of the requirement.

  2. Attach Supporting Information:
    Attach any scenarios that are affected by the quality of service requirement if applicable. If the quality of service requirement affects all of the scenarios or a majority of them, simply note this rather than attaching very large numbers of scenarios.

    Attach any supporting documents such as storyboards if needed.
