4.8 Performance Requirements Specification (PRS)

---

The PRS specifies performance needs and details the implementation decisions that will ensure compliance with these needs. For software products, performance needs include response time, hardware access time, network jitter, and so on. Each item should be carefully considered in terms of how it is measured and how it is used. Ideally, these performance requirements should be benchmarked against other existing systems in the production environment.
