Software Development has started experiencing the need of consideration of NFR (Non Functional Requirements) for producing high quality acceptable software. Mostly software engineering literature has considered only for testing Functional Requirements. In context of such a need this work attempts to consider NFR, resulting from quality concerns of stakeholder, along with their impact and effect on testing .We identify and bring out issues, in testing of NFR that warrant, purposeful and meaningful considerations.
