  • Forgot password functionality must be provided for account recovery.

• Data Management

  • Users should be able to create, read, update, and delete data records.

  • Data must be validated on the client side before submission.

  • All data changes must be logged for audit purposes.

• Reporting

  • System should generate real-time reports based on user input.

  • Reports must be exportable in various formats (e.g., PDF, Excel).

• Notifications

  • Users should receive notifications via email and SMS for important events.

  • Users must be able to customize their notification preferences.

4. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance

  • System must support up to 10,000 concurrent users.

  • Page load time must not exceed 2 seconds under normal conditions.

• Scalability

  • System architecture must support horizontal scalability.

  • Database must be designed to handle large volumes of data.

• Security

  • All data must be encrypted in transit and at rest.

  • System must comply with industry-standard security practices (e.g., OWASP).

  • Regular security audits must be conducted to identify vulnerabilities.

• Usability

  • System must provide a responsive design that works on all devices.

  • User interface must follow best practices for accessibility (e.g., WCAG).
