What are Functional Requirements?
Functional Requirements specify the features, behaviors, and interactions that a system or product must provide to meet user needs and business objectives. These requirements describe what the system should do, such as processing transactions, displaying data, or handling user inputs.
Examples of Functional Requirements:
- User Authentication: The system must allow users to create accounts, log in, and reset passwords.
- Data Management: The system must enable users to create, read, update, and delete records in a database.
- Reporting: The system must generate reports based on user-selected criteria.
Functional requirements are typically documented in a requirements specification, guiding both design and development to ensure that the final product delivers the intended functionality.
