Description: User requirements are the needs and expectations of end users regarding a software product. These requirements are fundamental to software development, as they guide the design, implementation, and validation of the product. They are divided into functional requirements, which describe what the system should do, and non-functional requirements, which specify how the system should behave, such as its performance, usability, and security. Proper identification and documentation of user requirements is crucial to ensure that the final product meets the expectations and needs of users, which in turn can influence customer satisfaction and the success of the software in the market. In the context of agile methodologies, such as Extreme Programming (XP), user requirements are gathered through continuous collaboration between developers and users, emphasizing communication and adaptation to changes throughout the development lifecycle. This allows requirements to evolve and adjust as the project progresses, ensuring that the final product is relevant and useful for end users.
