Question 3

A software development project for a new medical device control system has a requirement: 'The system shall respond to emergency stop commands within $100$ milliseconds.' During the requirements validation phase, the team needs to ensure this critical safety requirement is met.

Question 4

Consider a project to develop a new air traffic control system. A requirement states: 'The system shall display all aircraft within a $100$-mile radius of the control tower, updating their positions every $2$ seconds.'
