CCBA Solution Evaluation and Validation

Question 1

What is the PRIMARY goal of solution evaluation in business analysis?

Accepted Answer

To assess whether the implemented solution delivers the expected business value

Answer

Solution evaluation assesses whether the delivered solution actually achieves the intended business outcomes and value — it goes beyond technical testing to examine business impact.

Question 2

What is 'user acceptance testing' (UAT) designed to verify?

Accepted Answer

That the solution meets business requirements and is acceptable to users for production use

Answer

UAT verifies that the solution meets the agreed business requirements and that end users find it acceptable for production use — it is the business validation gate before go-live.

Question 3

Which of the following BEST describes 'solution limitations' as assessed in solution evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Constraints or gaps in the solution that prevent it from fully meeting business needs

Answer

Solution limitations are constraints or gaps that prevent the solution from fully satisfying business requirements — these may be acceptable trade-offs or may require remediation.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a 'benefit realization assessment' after solution deployment?

Accepted Answer

To measure whether the solution has actually delivered the benefits projected in the business case

Answer

A benefit realization assessment measures whether the projected benefits from the business case have been achieved after the solution has been in operation, enabling accountability and learning.

Question 5

In solution evaluation, what does 'validation' mean as distinct from 'verification'?

Accepted Answer

Verification ensures the solution was built correctly; validation ensures the correct solution was built

Answer

Verification asks 'Did we build it right?' (conformance to specifications), while validation asks 'Did we build the right thing?' (fitness for business purpose).
