The term "non-functional requirement" is sort of goofy. "Non-functional" == "doesn't work", and do you really want to implement requirements that don't work? ...
... The ability to handle, say, 1000 requests per hour is not a technical requirement; it's a business requirement. Try "performance requirement" or "system...

I'm in. I hate the term "non-functional" for the same reason you state and the RUP's "Supplemental Specifications" is very unsatisfying. I like Technical...

... I thought that "non-functioning" == "doesn't work" and that Non-functional simply meant not functional/behavioral in nature. Thus if one talks about "form,...
non-functional was a shortcut for non-functionalBehavior, i guess. *Technical Requirements* seems okay to me... things like: performance (do smth in < X...

Not too surprisingly, I find the best way to approach the question of automating software development work is iteratively (with the exception of SCM and IDEs)....
This same argument can be applied to many things. Automation of builds, tests, code generation Refactoring Building for reuse (better objects/methods, better...

Well, there's an interesting issue as to whether "non-functional" requirements actually are requirements at all or not. In many cases, they are things that can...
While I mostly agre with this characterization, it's worth pointing out that purists would say that any performance concern is non-functional, even thought...
yes, i agree with what you write. This is about doing something more efficiently from the outset by writing a macro or something to speed up the manual stuff....
in some sense, you are right. all requirements are just that... requirements (features, user stories, blah) one reason to categorize might be to help...
I don't think "technical requirements" is an improvement - it's just as vague (are you suggesting that functional requirements aren't technical?). I'd prefer...
