Problem-solving activities related to analysing needs:functional and non-functional requirements and constraints

Question 1

Solution requirements

Answer 1

Functional/non-functional

Question 2

Solution constraints

Answer 2

Economic- Economic constraints include time and cost
Technical- Technical constraints are related to the hardware and software available for the project
Social/Legal/Usability- These are non-technical constraints (areas other than hardware and software) such as usability and the users level of expertise (social), copyright laws may restrict features that allow other users to upload content to the solution

Question 3

Scope of solution

Answer 3

The scope of the solution consists of two elements
What the solution will do- A list of all the requirements that will be included in the solution
What the solution will not do- A list of the solution requirements which will not be included in the solution due to constraints
