Performance requirements are quality attributes that we want to focus early in the lifecycle on those things that deal with quality, performability, scalability. Capturing the performance goals in a systematic manner is a pre-requisite for building performance into an application right from the start, the key is asking the right questions so that we can gather specific and measurable performance requirements.
