Return to Non-Functional Requirements

To use either the Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets workbook click on one of the links below. To fill out the workbook, go to each individual sheet in the workbook and evaluate the requirement by picking 1-5: 1 being poor and 5 being excellent. The sheet will then calculate the average, total score, and number of samples that were used to calculate both previous values for this sheet. In the comments section you can add additional information about that specific topic. In the Microsoft Excel version, there is an additional column with linked cells to the DDSF Wiki for more information about whichever requirement is needed.
