Types of Requirements

I’m trying to write a DOS bat file that runs an Access macro to import a CSV output file from my COBOL program. Any help would be appreciated

There are basically three types of requirements:

Conscious Requirements

Conscious requirements are those that the stakeholders are particularly aware of.

Unconscious Requirements

Unconscious requirements are those that the stakeholder knows the requirement so well that he thinks that it's not worth mentioning.

Undreamed Requirements

Undreamed requirements are those that the stakeholders do not ask for, either because he thinks they are not possible or because they are new ideas that have occurred to them.

Non-Functional Requirements

Non-functional requirement basically talks about hardware and software requirement of an application. It also talks about application performance, number of normal and concurrent users, page response time. They address business risk.

Non-functional requirements are properties the product/project must have, such as the desired look and feel, usability, performance, cultural aspects, availability, reliability, maintainability, extensibility, security and so on.
