Software Engineering

1. 
Product operational characteristics (requirements baseline)
.
 The stakeholders 
expect to utilize the product in their vocation, personal interests, or recreational 
interests. They will promote operational traits for the software product that can 
be exploited for their benefit, advantage, or entertainment value.
2. 
Product performance characteristics (requirements baseline).
 Stakeholders are 
interested in the effectiveness, responsiveness, and efficient execution of data 
manipulation, computation, and presentation.
3. 
Product physical characteristics (requirements baseline).
 Stakeholders are 
concerned with the style, sophistication, and aesthetic qualities of the software 
product due to their authoritative affiliation with it. The intellectual response to 
the attractive, creative, and innovative “look and feel” with graphical displays, 
user interfaces, and data presentation affect the acceptance by the user commu-
nity at large.
4. 
Product qualification requirements (requirements baseline).
 Stakeholders must 
concur with the product qualification methods by which each requirement will 
be authenticated. The typical qualification methods include analysis, demon-
stration, inspection, and testing. Each method prescribes the manner by which 
test results will be analyzed to determine if the product conforms to specified 
requirements or exhibits the desired characteristics.
5. 
Product interface requirements (requirements baseline).
 Stakeholders are con-
strained by the existance of operational systems or other products that are uti-
lized to support their business operations and professional assignments. Product 
interfaces provide the seamless data exchange among systems or products, and 
these product interfaces cannot be arbitrarily modified to facilitate the software 
product’s design and implementation.
6. 
Post-development processes (requirements baseline).
 The requirements for post-
development processes are contingent on the definition of the software product. 
The methods employed to package and distribute the product will be determined 
by industry norms and competitive approaches. The types of user training will 
depend on the complexitiy of the product, the business or operational missions 
it supports, and the number of external systems or products it interfaces with. 
The types and amount of customer and product support made available will
