Information about Ilities
Within systems engineering, -ilities are aspects or non-functional requirements. They are so-named because most of them end in "-ility."
The "-ilities" often include:
Many of the "-ilities" can be applied to data quality.

Common subsets
- A subset of them (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Usability, and Installability) are together referred to as RASUI.
- Another subset used for Software Requirements (Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Performance, Supportability) are together referred to as FURPS.
- For databases RASR is an important concept (Reliability, Availability, Scalability, and Recoverability).
- When dealing with safety-critical systems, the acronym RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety) is frequently used.
