-# Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) Criteria
-
-## Principle
-
-Non-functional requirements (security, performance, reliability, maintainability) are **validated through automated tests**, not checklists. NFR assessment uses objective pass/fail criteria tied to measurable thresholds. Ambiguous requirements default to CONCERNS until clarified.
-
-## Rationale
-
-**The Problem**: Teams ship features that "work" functionally but fail under load, expose security vulnerabilities, or lack error recovery. NFRs are treated as optional "nice-to-haves" instead of release blockers.
-
-**The Solution**: Define explicit NFR criteria with automated validation. Security tests verify auth/authz and secret handling. Performance tests enforce SLO/SLA thresholds with profiling evidence. Reliability tests validate error handling, retries, and health checks. Maintainability is measured by test coverage, code duplication, and observability.
-
-**Why This Matters**:
-
-- Prevents production incidents (security breaches, performance degradation, cascading failures)
-- Provides objective release criteria (no subjective "feels fast enough")
-- Automates compliance validation (audit trail for regulated environments)
-- Forces clarity on ambiguous requirements (default to CONCERNS)
-
-## Pattern Examples
-
-### Example 1: Security NFR Validation (Auth, Secrets, OWASP)
-
-**Context**: Automated security tests enforcing authentication, authorization, and secret handling
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// tests/nfr/security.spec.ts
-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
-
-test.describe('Security NFR: Authentication & Authorization', () => {
-  test('unauthenticated users cannot access protected routes', async ({ page }) => {
-    // Attempt to access dashboard without auth
-    await page.goto('/dashboard');
-
-    // Should redirect to login (not expose data)
-    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/login/);
-    await expect(page.getByText('Please sign in')).toBeVisible();
-
-    // Verify no sensitive data leaked in response
-    const pageContent = await page.content();
-    expect(pageContent).not.toContain('user_id');
-    expect(pageContent).not.toContain('api_key');
-  });
-
-  test('JWT tokens expire after 15 minutes', async ({ page, request }) => {
-    // Login and capture token
-    await page.goto('/login');
-    await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@example.com');
-    await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('ValidPass123!');
-    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
-
-    const token = await page.evaluate(() => localStorage.getItem('auth_token'));
-    expect(token).toBeTruthy();
-
-    // Wait 16 minutes (use mock clock in real tests)
-    await page.clock.fastForward('00:16:00');
-
-    // Token should be expired, API call should fail
-    const response = await request.get('/api/user/profile', {
-      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
-    });
-
-    expect(response.status()).toBe(401);
-    const body = await response.json();
-    expect(body.error).toContain('expired');
-  });
-
-  test('passwords are never logged or exposed in errors', async ({ page }) => {
-    // Trigger login error
-    await page.goto('/login');
-    await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@example.com');
-    await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('WrongPassword123!');
-
-    // Monitor console for password leaks
-    const consoleLogs: string[] = [];
-    page.on('console', (msg) => consoleLogs.push(msg.text()));
-
-    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
-
-    // Error shown to user (generic message)
-    await expect(page.getByText('Invalid credentials')).toBeVisible();
-
-    // Verify password NEVER appears in console, DOM, or network
-    const pageContent = await page.content();
-    expect(pageContent).not.toContain('WrongPassword123!');
-    expect(consoleLogs.join('\n')).not.toContain('WrongPassword123!');
-  });
-
-  test('RBAC: users can only access resources they own', async ({ page, request }) => {
-    // Login as User A
-    const userAToken = await login(request, 'userA@example.com', 'password');
-
-    // Try to access User B's order
-    const response = await request.get('/api/orders/user-b-order-id', {
-      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${userAToken}` },
-    });
-
-    expect(response.status()).toBe(403); // Forbidden
-    const body = await response.json();
-    expect(body.error).toContain('insufficient permissions');
-  });
-
-  test('SQL injection attempts are blocked', async ({ page }) => {
-    await page.goto('/search');
-
-    // Attempt SQL injection
-    await page.getByPlaceholder('Search products').fill("'; DROP TABLE users; --");
-    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Search' }).click();
-
-    // Should return empty results, NOT crash or expose error
-    await expect(page.getByText('No results found')).toBeVisible();
-
-    // Verify app still works (table not dropped)
-    await page.goto('/dashboard');
-    await expect(page.getByText('Welcome')).toBeVisible();
-  });
-
-  test('XSS attempts are sanitized', async ({ page }) => {
-    await page.goto('/profile/edit');
-
-    // Attempt XSS injection
-    const xssPayload = '<script>alert("XSS")</script>';
-    await page.getByLabel('Bio').fill(xssPayload);
-    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
-
-    // Reload and verify XSS is escaped (not executed)
-    await page.reload();
-    const bio = await page.getByTestId('user-bio').textContent();
-
-    // Text should be escaped, script should NOT execute
-    expect(bio).toContain('&lt;script&gt;');
-    expect(bio).not.toContain('<script>');
-  });
-});
-
-// Helper
-async function login(request: any, email: string, password: string): Promise<string> {
-  const response = await request.post('/api/auth/login', {
-    data: { email, password },
-  });
-  const body = await response.json();
-  return body.token;
-}
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- Authentication: Unauthenticated access redirected (not exposed)
-- Authorization: RBAC enforced (403 for insufficient permissions)
-- Token expiry: JWT expires after 15 minutes (automated validation)
-- Secret handling: Passwords never logged or exposed in errors
-- OWASP Top 10: SQL injection and XSS blocked (input sanitization)
-
-**Security NFR Criteria**:
-
-- ✅ PASS: All 6 tests green (auth, authz, token expiry, secret handling, SQL injection, XSS)
-- ⚠️ CONCERNS: 1-2 tests failing with mitigation plan and owner assigned
-- ❌ FAIL: Critical exposure (unauthenticated access, password leak, SQL injection succeeds)

-### Example 2: Performance NFR Validation (k6 Load Testing for SLO/SLA)
-
-**Context**: Use k6 for load testing, stress testing, and SLO/SLA enforcement (NOT Playwright)
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```javascript
-// tests/nfr/performance.k6.js
-import http from 'k6/http';
-import { check, sleep } from 'k6';
-import { Rate, Trend } from 'k6/metrics';
-
-// Custom metrics
-const errorRate = new Rate('errors');
-const apiDuration = new Trend('api_duration');
-
-// Performance thresholds (SLO/SLA)
-export const options = {
-  stages: [
-    { duration: '1m', target: 50 }, // Ramp up to 50 users
-    { duration: '3m', target: 50 }, // Stay at 50 users for 3 minutes
-    { duration: '1m', target: 100 }, // Spike to 100 users
-    { duration: '3m', target: 100 }, // Stay at 100 users
-    { duration: '1m', target: 0 }, // Ramp down
-  ],
-  thresholds: {
-    // SLO: 95% of requests must complete in <500ms
-    http_req_duration: ['p(95)<500'],
-    // SLO: Error rate must be <1%
-    errors: ['rate<0.01'],
-    // SLA: API endpoints must respond in <1s (99th percentile)
-    api_duration: ['p(99)<1000'],
-  },
-};
-
-export default function () {
-  // Test 1: Homepage load performance
-  const homepageResponse = http.get(`${__ENV.BASE_URL}/`);
-  check(homepageResponse, {
-    'homepage status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
-    'homepage loads in <2s': (r) => r.timings.duration < 2000,
-  });
-  errorRate.add(homepageResponse.status !== 200);
-
-  // Test 2: API endpoint performance
-  const apiResponse = http.get(`${__ENV.BASE_URL}/api/products?limit=10`, {
-    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${__ENV.API_TOKEN}` },
-  });
-  check(apiResponse, {
-    'API status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
-    'API responds in <500ms': (r) => r.timings.duration < 500,
-  });
-  apiDuration.add(apiResponse.timings.duration);
-  errorRate.add(apiResponse.status !== 200);
-
-  // Test 3: Search endpoint under load
-  const searchResponse = http.get(`${__ENV.BASE_URL}/api/search?q=laptop&limit=100`);
-  check(searchResponse, {
-    'search status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
-    'search responds in <1s': (r) => r.timings.duration < 1000,
-    'search returns results': (r) => JSON.parse(r.body).results.length > 0,
-  });
-  errorRate.add(searchResponse.status !== 200);
-
-  sleep(1); // Realistic user think time
-}
-
-// Threshold validation (run after test)
-export function handleSummary(data) {
-  const p95Duration = data.metrics.http_req_duration.values['p(95)'];
-  const p99ApiDuration = data.metrics.api_duration.values['p(99)'];
-  const errorRateValue = data.metrics.errors.values.rate;
-
-  console.log(`P95 request duration: ${p95Duration.toFixed(2)}ms`);
-  console.log(`P99 API duration: ${p99ApiDuration.toFixed(2)}ms`);
-  console.log(`Error rate: ${(errorRateValue * 100).toFixed(2)}%`);
-
-  return {
-    'summary.json': JSON.stringify(data),
-    stdout: `
-Performance NFR Results:
-- P95 request duration: ${p95Duration < 500 ? '✅ PASS' : '❌ FAIL'} (${p95Duration.toFixed(2)}ms / 500ms threshold)
-- P99 API duration: ${p99ApiDuration < 1000 ? '✅ PASS' : '❌ FAIL'} (${p99ApiDuration.toFixed(2)}ms / 1000ms threshold)
-- Error rate: ${errorRateValue < 0.01 ? '✅ PASS' : '❌ FAIL'} (${(errorRateValue * 100).toFixed(2)}% / 1% threshold)
-    `,
-  };
-}
-```
-
-**Run k6 tests:**
-
-```bash
-# Local smoke test (10 VUs, 30s)
-k6 run --vus 10 --duration 30s tests/nfr/performance.k6.js
-
-# Full load test (stages defined in script)
-k6 run tests/nfr/performance.k6.js
-
-# CI integration with thresholds
-k6 run --out json=performance-results.json tests/nfr/performance.k6.js
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **k6 is the right tool** for load testing (NOT Playwright)
-- SLO/SLA thresholds enforced automatically (`p(95)<500`, `rate<0.01`)
-- Realistic load simulation (ramp up, sustained load, spike testing)
-- Comprehensive metrics (p50, p95, p99, error rate, throughput)
-- CI-friendly (JSON output, exit codes based on thresholds)
-
-**Performance NFR Criteria**:
-
-- ✅ PASS: All SLO/SLA targets met with k6 profiling evidence (p95 < 500ms, error rate < 1%)
-- ⚠️ CONCERNS: Trending toward limits (e.g., p95 = 480ms approaching 500ms) or missing baselines
-- ❌ FAIL: SLO/SLA breached (e.g., p95 > 500ms) or error rate > 1%
-
-**Performance Testing Levels (from Test Architect course):**
-
-- **Load testing**: System behavior under expected load
-- **Stress testing**: System behavior under extreme load (breaking point)
-- **Spike testing**: Sudden load increases (traffic spikes)
-- **Endurance/Soak testing**: System behavior under sustained load (memory leaks, resource exhaustion)
-- **Benchmarking**: Baseline measurements for comparison
-
-**Note**: Playwright can validate **perceived performance** (Core Web Vitals via Lighthouse), but k6 validates **system performance** (throughput, latency, resource limits under load)

-### Example 3: Reliability NFR Validation (Playwright for UI Resilience)
-
-**Context**: Automated reliability tests validating graceful degradation and recovery paths

-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- Error handling: Graceful degradation (500 error → user-friendly message + retry button)
-- Retries: 3 attempts on transient failures (503 → eventual success)
-- Offline handling: Network disconnection detected (sync when reconnected)
-- Health checks: `/api/health` monitors database, cache, queue
-- Circuit breaker: Opens after 5 failures (fallback UI, stop retries)
-- Rate limiting: 429 response handled (Retry-After header respected)
-
-**Reliability NFR Criteria**:
-
-- ✅ PASS: Error handling, retries, health checks verified (all 6 tests green)
-- ⚠️ CONCERNS: Partial coverage (e.g., missing circuit breaker) or no telemetry
-- ❌ FAIL: No recovery path (500 error crashes app) or unresolved crash scenarios

-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Coverage/duplication**: CI jobs (GitHub Actions), not Playwright tests
-- **Vulnerability scanning**: npm audit in CI, not Playwright tests
-- **Observability**: Playwright validates error tracking (Sentry) and telemetry headers
-- **Structured logging**: Validate logging contract (trace IDs, Server-Timing headers)
-- **Separation of concerns**: Build-time checks (coverage, audit) vs runtime checks (error tracking, telemetry)
-
-**Maintainability NFR Criteria**:
-
-- ✅ PASS: Clean code (80%+ coverage from CI, <5% duplication from CI), observability validated in E2E, no critical vulnerabilities from npm audit
-- ⚠️ CONCERNS: Duplication >5%, coverage 60-79%, or unclear ownership
-- ❌ FAIL: Absent tests (<60%), tangled implementations (>10% duplication), or no observability

-## NFR Assessment Checklist
-
-Before release gate:
-
-- [ ] **Security** (Playwright E2E + Security Tools):
-  - [ ] Auth/authz tests green (unauthenticated redirect, RBAC enforced)
-  - [ ] Secrets never logged or exposed in errors
-  - [ ] OWASP Top 10 validated (SQL injection blocked, XSS sanitized)
-  - [ ] Security audit completed (vulnerability scan, penetration test if applicable)
-
-- [ ] **Performance** (k6 Load Testing):
-  - [ ] SLO/SLA targets met with k6 evidence (p95 <500ms, error rate <1%)
-  - [ ] Load testing completed (expected load)
-  - [ ] Stress testing completed (breaking point identified)
-  - [ ] Spike testing completed (handles traffic spikes)
-  - [ ] Endurance testing completed (no memory leaks under sustained load)
-
-- [ ] **Reliability** (Playwright E2E + API Tests):
-  - [ ] Error handling graceful (500 → user-friendly message + retry)
-  - [ ] Retries implemented (3 attempts on transient failures)
-  - [ ] Health checks monitored (/api/health endpoint)
-  - [ ] Circuit breaker tested (opens after failure threshold)
-  - [ ] Offline handling validated (network disconnection graceful)
-
-- [ ] **Maintainability** (CI Tools):
-  - [ ] Test coverage ≥80% (from CI coverage report)
-  - [ ] Code duplication <5% (from jscpd CI job)
-  - [ ] No critical/high vulnerabilities (from npm audit CI job)
-  - [ ] Structured logging validated (Playwright validates telemetry headers)
-  - [ ] Error tracking configured (Sentry/monitoring integration validated)
-
-- [ ] **Ambiguous requirements**: Default to CONCERNS (force team to clarify thresholds and evidence)
-- [ ] **NFR criteria documented**: Measurable thresholds defined (not subjective "fast enough")
-- [ ] **Automated validation**: NFR tests run in CI pipeline (not manual checklists)
-- [ ] **Tool selection**: Right tool for each NFR (k6 for performance, Playwright for security/reliability E2E, CI tools for maintainability)

-## NFR Gate Decision Matrix
-
-| Category            | PASS Criteria                                | CONCERNS Criteria                            | FAIL Criteria                                  |
-| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
-| **Security**        | Auth/authz, secret handling, OWASP verified  | Minor gaps with clear owners                 | Critical exposure or missing controls          |
-| **Performance**     | Metrics meet SLO/SLA with profiling evidence | Trending toward limits or missing baselines  | SLO/SLA breached or resource leaks detected    |
-| **Reliability**     | Error handling, retries, health checks OK    | Partial coverage or missing telemetry        | No recovery path or unresolved crash scenarios |
-| **Maintainability** | Clean code, tests, docs shipped together     | Duplication, low coverage, unclear ownership | Absent tests, tangled code, no observability   |
-
-**Default**: If targets or evidence are undefined → **CONCERNS** (force team to clarify before sign-off)
