What is the purpose of a glossary in requirements documentation?
Answer: To define domain-specific terms and ensure shared understanding
A glossary reduces ambiguity by providing agreed-upon definitions for terms used throughout requirements documents.
A solution requirement differs from a stakeholder requirement because it:
Answer: Specifies characteristics the solution must have to meet stakeholder needs
Solution requirements translate stakeholder needs into specific capabilities, behaviors, or qualities the solution must possess.
Which of the following is an example of a non-functional requirement?
Answer: The system shall respond to search queries within 2 seconds
Non-functional requirements define quality attributes such as performance, security, and scalability rather than specific system behaviors.
Requirements are considered 'traced' when:
Answer: Each requirement is linked to related requirements, tests, and design components
Tracing establishes bidirectional relationships between requirements and other project artifacts, enabling impact analysis and completeness checks.
Which document captures the conditions and capabilities that a solution must meet or possess to satisfy a contract, standard, or business need?
Answer: Requirements specification
A requirements specification formally documents agreed-upon requirements in sufficient detail to guide solution design and testing.
Requirement 'completeness' means that:
Answer: The requirement contains all necessary information for implementation and testing without needing further clarification
A complete requirement is self-contained and provides sufficient detail so that implementers and testers can proceed without ambiguity.
