REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING
DLBCSRE01 – Q&A
Unit 1
Q1 - In requirements engineering, what is the definition of requirements?
a property or capability that a system or subsystem must possess in order to satisfy a contract,
standard, specification, or other formally specified documents
Q2 - Which of the following activities are performed by a requirements engineer?
select and manage stakeholders, check whether all boundary conditions are met, ensure the
traceability of the requirements, and control the detailing of requirements
Q3 - What are the legally binding modal verbs used in requirements engineering to describe
priority?
shall, should, will, and must not
Q4 - In software engineering, not all artifacts have to be in maturity level three at the same time.
What are the latest deadlines in non-Agile projects?
for targets of the system, beginning of system design; for business processes, beginning of system
design; and for interface definition, beginning of system construction
Q5 - Requirements can be divided into three levels based on maturity. What are the definitions of
each level?
At level one, requirements are incomplete, and examples are sufficient; at level two, requirements
are reliable, resilient, and may be incomplete; and at level three, requirements meet all quality
criteria, and are complete and correct.
Unit 2
Q1 - What are the duties of a stakeholder?
A stakeholder delivers the requirements of their special field and supports the requirements
engineer by answering their questions or reviewing their documents.
, Q2 - What are the four different archetypes of stakeholders?
Doers, Powerful, Seismographs, and Observers
Q3 - Which representational transformations can falsify communication?
deletion, which means selectively excluding perception and experiences; generalization, which
means universalizing experiences to a whole category; and distortion, which means reshaping or
falsifying reality
Q4 - Which of the following qualities should requirements have?
full sentences using words defined in a glossary, no synonyms or homonyms, and full verbs for
descriptions
Q5 - What advice should be followed when selecting stakeholders?
Select stakeholders carefully; forgotten stakeholders can lead to expensive change requests.
Integrate the Doers, and release those who do not have time to support.
Unit 3
Q1 - If it turns out that the stakeholders have a low level of abstraction, which investigative
techniques should be used?
field observation, apprenticing, interview, and system archaeology
Q2 - Which prototypes exist in relation to the degree of implemented functionality?
horizontal, which are functions in functional layers; and vertical, which are all required elements
from all layers to realize functionality in a narrow width
Q3 - What is the advantage of questionnaires?
Many stakeholders can be interviewed in parallel, digital questionnaires with closed questions can
be easily evaluated, and stakeholders can be locally distributed.
