COSMIC and IFPUG decided to collaborate to produce this standard Glossary of terms for NFR and for project requirements and constraints (PRC). The exercise has also helped the two organizations towards a better understanding of what exactly are NFR. In addition to this Glossary, each organization also publishes its own standard which goes into further detail on these concepts and how to consider or how to measure non-functional requirements (COSMIC [1] or IFPUG [2], respectively). We hope that the Glossary will be valuable in providing a common language to anyone involved in developing requirements for a software system project and/or who participates in the processes of contracting, developing or managing software projects, even if not specifically concerned with software measurement and its uses.

·        Chapter 1 is an introduction that presents the purpose of this document

·        Chapter 2 gives the COSMIC and IFPUG definitions for FUR, for NFR and for PRC.

·        Chapter 3 describes a classification scheme for NFR and for PRC to help the users of this Glossary to understand their scope, and to explain the reasons for the choice of which terms to include in the Glossary.

·        Chapter 4 contains the Glossary of NFR terms and their definitions, (ISO wherever possible), the Glossary of PRC terms and some terms that were excluded from the Glossaries for particular reasons
