Abstract

Though UML or Unified Modeling Language is a popular language for modeling software requirements, it is mostly useful for functional requirements only and provides limited support for non-functional requirements, like security. In the present scenario when the use of internet-based and cloud-based applications is increasing, such requirements are far more relevant. In this paper Functionality Rank Diagrams are proposed that follow a well-structured requirement elicitation and ranking mechanism, and model these non-functional requirements leading to a better system design.
