Allocate Product Component Requirements

Purpose:

Allocate the requirements for each product component.

Objective:

Description:

The product architecture provides the basis for allocating product requirements to product components. The requirements for product components of the defined solution include allocation of product performance; design constraints; and fit, form, and function to meet requirements and facilitate production. In cases where a higher level requirement specifies a quality attribute that will be the responsibility of more than one product component, the quality attribute can sometimes be partitioned for unique allocation to each product component as a derived requirement, however, other times the shared requirement should instead be allocated directly to the architecture. For example, allocation of shared requirements to the architecture would describe how a performance requirement (e.g., on responsiveness) is budgeted among components so as to account in an end-to-end manner for realization of the requirement. This concept of shared requirements can extend to other architecturally significant quality attributes (e.g., security, reliability).
