2. Usability: ​

  • Ease of Use: The UI should be intuitive and easy to navigate for all types of users.
  • Responsive Design: Ensure the application is usable on various devices and screen sizes.

3. Performance: ​

  • Speed: Critical operations, like document upload and querying, should be fast and efficient.
  • Scalability: The system should be able to scale in response to an increase in user numbers or data volume without degradation in performance.
  • Availability: High availability of the system, especially during peak usage times.

4. Reliability: ​

  • Error Handling: The system should be able to recover from errors gracefully and provide users with clear error messages.
  • Data Integrity: Ensure that data is accurately stored and retrieved without corruption.

5. Maintainability: ​

  • Modularity: Design the system in a modular way to facilitate updates and maintenance.
  • Documentation: Provide comprehensive documentation for the system to assist with maintenance and future development.
  • Tech Stack and Practices: Use widely supported technologies and best practices in development to ensure easier maintenance.

6. Extensibility: ​
