Group B:  For this week’s discussion, Group B post an initial response with:

Choose one of the system performance or security areas listed above

Explain what this area means in terms of system performance

Explain why it will be important to the CIC Hiring System.

Explanation / Answer

All the above mentioned non functional requirements are necessary for any system. Let's for example choose the Requirement of the protection of the data while transmission and storage.

Think if it is not there then all the user data, specifically the sensitive one will be available to everyone. If the passwords are not protected, then the system admad might access it and use it according to his own will. This way the integrity of the information is lost and the system fails to perform as users lose the faith in the system. So, only a small failure in the maintenance of system security falls responsible for the failure of the entire system.

The same things discussed above can be held responsible for the CIC hiring system. I can further explain if the system is more elaborately explained.

However , it applies to this system as well.
