Document the Quality of Service Requirement

• Add a description of the quality of service requirement in the description field of the requirement work item. Use the following language template when developing the quality of service requirements: <context>, <stimulus>, <response>.
• Describe the quality of service requirements but leave the design to the architect and developers.
• If the brief description is not sufficient for complete understanding, write a more detailed form of the requirement in a requirements document, providing goals and rationale. Link the document to the requirement work item.

Attach Supporting Information

• Attach any scenarios that are affected by the quality of service requirement if applicable. If the quality of service requirement affects all of the scenarios or a majority of them, simply note this rather than attaching very large numbers.
• Attach any supporting documents such as storyboards if needed.

Quality of service requirements described sufficiently to enable implementation.
