Functional Requirement

A precise, testable behavior that the product or service must carry out.

Key Points

  • Defines what the solution does: actions, inputs, outputs, and rules.
  • Different from non-functional requirements, which describe quality attributes like performance or security.
  • Should be clear, measurable, traceable, and testable.
  • Often captured as user stories, use cases, or acceptance criteria in agile backlogs.

Example

When a customer submits an order, the system validates the items, calculates tax, and sends a confirmation email within 1 minute.
