# Quality Requirements
<!--
This section contains all relevant quality requirements.
The most important of these requirements have already been described in section 1.2. (quality goals), therefore they should only be referenced here. In this section 10 you should also capture quality requirements with lesser importance, which will not create high risks when they are not fully achieved (but might be _nice-to-have_).
_Motivation:_ Since quality requirements will have a lot of influence on architectural decisions you should know what qualities are really important for your stakeholders, in a specific and measurable way.

## Quality Requirements Overview
The Calminer system is designed to meet a comprehensive set of quality requirements that ensure its effectiveness, reliability, and user satisfaction.
### Effectiveness
> The system must support the creation and analysis of multiple project scenarios to assess risks and opportunities effectively.
CalMiner is based on efficient data processing algorithms and leverages PostgreSQL's capabilities to handle large datasets.
### Reliability
> The system must provide stakeholders with access to real-time data and analytics to inform their decisions.
CalMiner achieves this by utilizing a combination of data streaming and in-memory processing techniques to deliver insights with minimal latency.
### Usability
> The platform must feature an intuitive interface that minimizes the learning curve for new users.
The UI design principles outlined in the [UI Design Documentation](08_concepts/08_ui_design.md) guide the development of a user-friendly interface that adheres to best practices in usability and accessibility.
### Security
> The system must implement robust security measures, including data encryption and access controls, to protect sensitive information.
CalMiner employs industry-standard encryption protocols and access control mechanisms to safeguard data at rest and in transit.
### Scalability
> The architecture must support scaling to accommodate increasing amounts of data and users without performance degradation.
CalMiner is designed with a modular architecture that allows for horizontal and vertical scaling. Adjustments to some layers of the architecture may be necessary to fully realize scalability.
### Maintainability
> The system must be designed for easy updates and maintenance, minimizing downtime during such activities.
CalMiner achieves this by following best practices in software development, including modular design, comprehensive documentation, and automated testing.
## Detailed Quality Requirements
In addition to the overarching quality requirements outlined above, we also want to capture additional quality requirements that contribute to the overall performance and user experience of the Calminer system. These include:
- **Performance**: The system should be able to process and analyze data in real-time, providing users with immediate feedback and insights.
- **Interoperability**: CalMiner must be able to integrate with other tools and platforms commonly used in the industry, facilitating seamless data exchange and collaboration.
- **Flexibility**: The architecture should allow for easy adaptation to changing requirements and the incorporation of new technologies as they emerge.
