You can edit and modify requirements to your discretion. Likewise, you
can add new requirements or remove requirements that are not needed.
There are so-called template requirements, which you can
view and import into your Evaluation Specification in a drag-and-drop
fashion as needed. There are two kinds of template requirements:
- Partner Requirements: Requirements that you expect your business partner to meet.
- Non-functional Requirements: Requirements that you expect a product, service or methodology to meet.
