If the same requirement would be refined and expressed as: "the gui shall comply with Apple's human interface guideline and the WCAG 2.0 guidelines for accessibility" it would be less controversial but still a non-functionzl requirement. | |

See softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/118446/6605 and softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/380009/6605. But don't worry, many persons do the mistake of thinking that non-functional requirement is everything which is not a functional requirement, forgetting the mandatory criteria for a requirement in general. | |
