Answer 1

For web application I am choosing Google chrome the prime product of Google Corporation.

Non-functional features as I suggest:

1. View page source
2. Inspect element
3. Cast

As a general user this features are not much needed.

For desktop application I would like to choose Visual studio from Microsoft Corporation.

Non-functional features as I suggest:

1. Most of the time the sig in feature is not used for the single developer.
2. Help
3. Print in File menu

Methods to detect the non-functional features are:

1. If not getting any bug reports from any customer then that feature is not used often.
2. Conducting feedbacks and survey.
3. Include various testing
