When quality requirements are elicited from stakeholders, they're often stated qualitatively,
such as" the response time must be fast" or" we need a highly available system". However,
qualitatively represented requirements are ambiguous and thus difficult to verify. The value-
oriented approach to specifying quality requirements uses a range of potential
representations chosen on the basis of assessing risk instead of quantifying everything.
