EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
What are the benefits of using user stories? - ANSWER-Benefits of using user
stories include: - Helping to create a shared understanding of requirements -
Allowing us to break large requirements down into smaller pieces - Involving
stakeholders in the requirements process - Making requirements easier to test
What methods can be used to communicate requirements? - ANSWER-Methods of
communicating requirements include written documents, presentations, meetings,
demos, interviews, videos, and emails.
What are the/td> benefits of using a requirements management tool? - ANSWER-
Benefits of using a requirements management tool include greater visibility into the
project, improved traceability of requirements, better clarity on individual
requirements, better collaboration between stakeholders, and streamlined
requirements management processes.
What is the purpose of Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)? - ANSWER-The
purpose of the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is to trace the relationship
between requirements and their origins, to link requirements to tests and test results,
to track the status of requirements and tests, and to ensure that all requirement
documents are up to date and accurate.
What is the primary purpose of requirements gathering? - ANSWER-The primary
purpose of requirements gathering is to define what the system needs to do in order
to meet users' needs and satisfy the customer or stakeholders.
What do we mean when we say that requirements are "testable"? - ANSWER-
Testability means that requirements should be clearly defined and measurable so
that tests can be developed to assess whether the system meets the requirements
or not.
How does SRS help manage system requirements? - ANSWER-SRS stands for
System Requirements Specification, and it is a document that contains all of the
requirements and information necessary to design and build a system. By using an
SRS document, project teams can more easily manage system requirements
because all of the requirements are conveniently located in one place.
What is the purpose of user stories? - ANSWER-User stories are used to capture the
user requirements and are specific descriptions of the behavior of the system from
the users' perspective. They give developers and designers a better understanding
, of what the system should do and how users will interact with it. 6. What is the
difference between a user requirement and a system requirement
What is the purpose of a requirements document? - ANSWER-The purpose of a
requirements document is to define what the system needs to do in order to meet
users' needs and satisfy the customer or stakeholders. It is a comprehensive list of
all of the necessary, functional and non-functional system requirements that all
stakeholders must agree to.
What is the difference between a functional requirement and a non-functional
requirement? - ANSWER-Functional requirements define what the system should
do, while non-functional requirements define how the system should work.
What is the purpose of a Requirements Analysis document? - ANSWER-The
purpose of a Requirements Analysis document is to analyze the user needs and
system requirements and identify any potential issues that may arise from the design
and implementation of the system. It is used to assess the feasibility and cost of
meeting the user's needs and establishing a timeline for development.
What is the importance of requirements validation? - ANSWER-Requirements
validation is an important step in the software development process because it
ensures that the requirements accurately reflect what the customer or stakeholder
needs, as well as ensuring that the requirements can be implemented within the
constraints of the project.
How can stakeholders provide feedback on the requirements? - ANSWER-
Stakeholders can provide feedback on the requirements by participating in meetings,
providing written comments, and/or reviewing documents. Additionally, stakeholders
can review the requirements definition document, user stories, and functional
specifications to ensure that the requirements are clear and comprehensive.
What are the components of a successful requirements communication plan? -
ANSWER-Components of a successful requirements communication plan include: -
Establishing objectives and scope - Assigning roles and responsibilities - Identifying
stakeholders - Setting up meetings and activities - Developing deliverables -
Implementing feedback cycles
What is the difference between a waterfall and an agile approach to requirements
management? - ANSWER-A waterfall approach to requirements management
involves breaking the process down into discrete, sequential stages, with each stage
advancing the project to the next. An agile approach is a more iterative approach,
with requirements management occurring in short, continuous cycles of
development, testing, and feedback.
What are the benefits of using a requirements elicitation technique? - ANSWER-
Benefits of using a requirements elicitation technique include: - Ensuring that all
stakeholders' needs and expectations are identified - Increasing the accuracy of
requirements - Streamlining the process of obtaining objective information -
Facilitating collaborative discussions - Helping to identify risks and assumptions
