brugerkrav

Brugerkrav, or user requirements, are statements describing what users need a product or system to do and the conditions under which it must operate. They are written from the user's perspective and emphasize outcomes, tasks, and user experience rather than technical implementation. Brugerkrav provide the foundation for design decisions, system architecture, testing, and acceptance criteria.

The scope covers functional needs (what the system should do) and non-functional needs (how well it should perform, accessibility, reliability, security) as perceived by users. They also describe contexts of use, such as user roles, environments, and workflows, to ensure relevance to real tasks.

Elicitation and documentation: common formats include user stories, use cases, scenarios, and structured requirement lists. Elicitation methods include interviews, observations, workshops, surveys, and usability testing with prototypes. Prioritization methods like MoSCoW or Kano help manage scope and trade-offs.

Relationship to design and validation: Brugerkrav guide interface design, workflows, and feature sets; they are traced to design artifacts and test cases. In agile development, user stories express brugerkrav and come with acceptance criteria that define when a requirement is satisfied.

Challenges and best practices: ensure completeness and avoid ambiguity; maintain traceability from user needs to implementation; involve real users; update requirements as needs evolve; use measurable, testable acceptance criteria and ongoing validation through usability testing.
