Awareness of Non-functional Requirements in Agile Software Projects

In this master thesis, we have researched how different companies in the software development sector in Norway handles non-functional requirements, and which requirements should be emphasized. This has been conducted by interviewing eight informants on four different projects with different experience and roles. Our findings indicate that software teams have some awareness of non-functional requirements, but they are not prioritized and handled at the same level as functional requirements. Also, the technical knowledge of both the client and customer has an impact on how non-functional requirements are emphasized
