Question 3
Non-functional requirements for the system
Non-functional requirements of a system abbreviated as FURPS, are the requirements of the
system that determine the criteria on how the system should be designed and how it should
operate afterwards (Raturi et.al; 2014). F for functionality of the system, U for usability of the
system, R for reliability of the system, P for performance of the system, and S for security of the
system. These requirements cu across every system that is ever build or developed. Every system
should exhibit these attributes in their operation.
Functionality. This is the ability of a system to perform the tasks and processes it was meant for.
The system should be able to implement all the requirements specified during requirement
specification period of the development (Eckhardt, Vogelsang, and Fernández, 2016). The online
student enrolment system should enable students to enroll subjects and courses, program director
to provide and update relevant courses, the time tabling officer to create and update timetables,
and the student enrolment officer create, edit, and remove courses and subjects. It should enable
all the actors in the system perform their tasks accordingly.
Usability refers to the swiftness of a software to perform its tasks and processes. It also refers to
how easy the system is for users to use (Kurtanović, & Maalej, 2017) The system should be user-
friendly and highly interactive with the users by enabling them achieve several tasks with ease.
The online student enrolment system should enable students to enroll courses in the University
with ease. It should also be easy for new users to learn how to use the system, operate, find
suitable inputs for the system, and expect suitable outputs from the system
Reliability. The system can only be reliable if the users of the system get to trust it. Trust for a
system is gained through a long term use of the system where the users get to experience little or
no inconvenience from the system when performing tasks. A reliable system is one used for a
long period of time without experiencing faults and system failures (Ghezzi, & Sharifloo, 2013).
The online student enrolment system should enroll students successfully under the correct
courses and subjects. The system should not enroll a student in subjects that clash in the
timetable. It should also be accurate and consistent in its operations and task performance.
