In the requirements gathering stage, there are these functional requirements which are briefed by the client which explains “What a system should perform”; but it is the chore of the Tester to determine the non-functional requirements which elucidates “How a system should perform”. Here, a discrete list of non-functional requirements is illustrated based on the applications and domain categories.
