• Specify app lifecycle, foreground/background rules, resource quotas, storage and caching policies, permissions, and update behaviors for native and browser apps.

Requirements

• Define soak, longevity, and environmental test entry/exit criteria tied to non-functional targets.
• Specify SELinux/AppArmor policy requirements at a high level, permission models, data retention, and privacy-by-default behaviors.
