Hello,
I have a simple question.
Business Rules are Functional Requirements, well accepted. But please see both examples below and can you confirm that a Business Rule is not always a Functional Requirement?
The system has to retain data for 6 years( Non Functional Requirement), however, this is due to a business rule that relates to financial regulations.
Another Example:
The system will send an email once the password expires after 60 days.. This is a Functional Requirement due to a Business Rule!!
I am just confused about the Science, it does not seem to me there is any standard to follow.
It's a good question that many business analysts have asked in the past.
Here's one point of view:
Here are a few more useful resources on business rules and requirements:
Hope this helps!
