What are functional and non-functional requirement?

Functional and non-functional requirements are two essential aspects of software and system
development that help define what a system should do and how it should perform.

Let's discuss them using a scenario of an e-commerce website.


Functional Requirements:
Functional requirements describe the specific features and functionalities that a system or
software must have to meet the needs of its users. In the context of an e-commerce website,
here are some functional requirements.
User Registration: The system should allow users to create accounts with a valid email address
and password.
Product Catalog: The website should display a catalog of products with details such as name,
price, description, and images.
Shopping Cart: Users should be able to add and remove items from their shopping cart.
Checkout Process: The system should guide users through a secure checkout process, including
payment and shipping information.
User Reviews: Users should be able to leave reviews and ratings for products.
Search Functionality: Users should be able to search for products based on keywords and
filters.
Order History: Registered users should have access to their order history and status.
Admin Panel: Administrators should have an admin panel to manage products, user accounts,
and orders.
Non-Functional Requirements:
Non-functional requirements, on the other hand, define the quality attributes and constraints
that the system must adhere to. In the e-commerce website scenario, here are some non-
functional requirements:
Performance: The website should load product pages in less than 2 seconds, even under heavy
traffic.
Scalability: The system should be able to handle a significant increase in users during holiday
seasons without performance degradation.
Security: User data, including personal information and payment details, should be encrypted
and securely stored. The website should be protected against common web security threats.
Reliability: The website should have a high uptime, with planned maintenance occurring during
off-peak hours.
Usability: The user interface should be intuitive, with clear navigation and responsive design for
various devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).
Both functional and non-functional requirements are critical for the success of a software
project. While functional requirements specify what the system should do, non-functional
requirements ensure that it does it effectively, securely, and in a user-friendly manner.
Balancing these two sets of requirements is essential to deliver a high-quality product that
meets user expectations.
