FURPS+
The FURPS model is defined as: 
Functionality- Feature set, Capabilities, Generality, Reusability, Security
Usability- Human factors, Aesthetics, Consistency, Documentation
Reliability- Frequency/severity of failure, Recoverability, Predictability, Accuracy, Mean time to failure
Performance- Speed, Efficiency, Resource consumption, Throughput, Response time
Supportability-Testability, Extensibility, Adaptability, Maintainability, Compatibility, Configurability, Serviceability, Installability, Localizability, Portability
The software industry nowadays are shifting to the FURPS+ model. The '+' of the FURPS+ model includes:
Design requirement: For example any requirements such as Database, web servers etc. are considered under design requirements
Implementation requirement: For example: what coding standards to follow, which languages to use for implementation, if there are any limits on resource etc.
Interface requirement: This covers any requirement imposed externally which the system must interact
Physical requirement: Undertakes all the hardware on which the system will be deployed
Cloud computing
Advantages of Cloud Computing
Cost Savings
When it comes to cloud computing, one of the biggest benefit is the IT cost savings. Independent of the type of size of businesses, both capital and operational, as low as possible. Since there is no in-house server storage or requirements of the applications, the capital cost with cloud computing is extremely low. The lack of infrastructure lsso removes the related operational costs in the form of power, air conditioning and administration costs. One can pay for what is used and disengage whenever they want to, there is no invested IT capital to worry about. The biggest and the most common misconception about using cloud computing is that only big businesses can afford them even these services are extremely affordable for smaller businesses.
Reliability
The cloud computing is more reliable than in-house IT infrastructure with managed service platform. Most of the services are provided 24/7, 365 days with 99.99% availability. Any organization can benefit from a massive pool of redundant IT resources, as well as quick failover mechanism – that is in the case any server fails as one can easily transmit the application and services to any of the available servers.
Manageability
The cloud computing makes the management and maintenance of IT very simple and also it is easy to access to enhanced technology through the service providers. There is no longer need to update and maintain the IT infrastructures since these are now maintained by the service providers. 
Strategic Edge
Considering that the time required to acquire the ever increasing computing resources is virtually nil, gives a competitive edge over competitors.
