Artifact Under Review SRS - Non-functional Requirements

Team Number for Team Doing the Review Team 5

Description of Issue The SRS does not adequately address scalability, particularly in how the system will handle an increase in users, data volume, or processing load over time. As the healthcare network grows, the system will need to accommodate a potentially significant increase in concurrent users and data input, especially if it becomes widely adopted across multiple hospitals or clinics.

Possible Fix A possible fix is to add a NFR specifying system scalability and how the system will handle increase in data volume. Specifically, horizontal scaling for systems is a possible way to tackle this issue for RapidCare since we don't want to sacrifice access time for additional power. You can look into vertical scaling as well (both which are just potential solutions to the problem at hand), but I believe horizontal scaling offers fault tolerance which is a major functionality for healthcare systems and environments.
