Requirements Engineering :Requirements Validation & Negotiation

Before starting actual development (coding and design), what is the primary goal of the Requirements Validation phase?

• To ensure requirements are fully implemented in the database schema.

• To finalize the technical architecture of the system.

• To confirm requirements are correct and fulfill specific quality criteria.

• To assign budget resources for the maintenance phase.

If a requirement error costs 1X resource/time to fix during the Requirements phase, what is the cost likely to be if discovered after the system delivery to users?

• 30 times (30X)

• 50 times (50X)

• 100 times (100X)

• 5 times (5X)

Which essential quality criterion confirms that a requirement covers all its aspects and lacks missing parts?

• Correctness

• Consistency

• Completeness

• Traceability

Which essential quality criterion confirms that a requirement is consistent and lacks internal conflicts with other requirements?

• Correctness

• Feasibility

• Consistency

• Verifiability

Which common error in requirement documentation allows the requirement to be interpreted in more than one way?

• Contradiction

• Incompleteness

• Ambiguity

• Normalization

What requirements defect occurs when a specific function or condition that the system must perform is not clearly documented?

• Contradiction

• Ambiguity

• Incompleteness

• Lack of necessity

What defect exists when one requirement states that a specific outcome must happen, while another requirement dictates that the same outcome must not happen?

• Ambiguity.

• Incompleteness.

• Contradiction.

• Lack of traceability.

The Requirements Document serves as a legal reference between the customer and the development company, affecting which key outcome?

• The mandatory use of specific programming languages.

• The acceleration of the technical coding process.

• The avoidance of contractual disputes and scope creep.

• The total removal of all non-functional requirements.

Although conflicts pose threats, what positive outcome can conflicts encourage among stakeholders?

• They lead to an automatic reduction in project costs.

• They eliminate the need for detailed documentation.

• They open the door to new ideas and clearer requirement articulation.

• They enforce immediate administrative override.

Which of the six fundamental principles of Requirements Validation emphasizes that the validation process itself must be repeated throughout the project lifecycle?

• Validation from Different Views

• Separation of Identification and Correction

• Repeat Validation

• Involve the Correct Stakeholders
