For example information retrieval techniques, monitoring of change history, naming schemas or model transformations________________________?

by
A. Automatic Link Detection
B. Documentation Support
C. Graphical Representation
D. Automatic Link Creation and Change
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Explanation: DOORS is one such tool that supports Automatic Link Detection.

23. Why is Requirements Management Important ? It is due to the changes___________________?

by
A. to the environment
B. in technology
C. in customer’s expectations
D. in all of the mentioned.
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Explanation: Systems continue to be built as the advancement of new products being launched in the market and so does the market changes, the technology and in turn customer’s expectation.

by
A. black-box
B. white-box
C. grey-box

✅ The correct answer is option A.
Explanation: The system is considered as a black box whose internal details are not known that is, only its visible external (input/output) behavior is documented.

25. Narrative essay is one of the best types of specification document ?

by
A. True
B. False
Explanation: Narrative essay is one of the worst types of specification document as it is difficult to change, difficult to be precise, has scope for contradictions, etc.
✅ The correct answer is option B.

26. Which of the following Requirement Elicitation Techniques is applicable to messy, changing and ill-defined problem situations ?

by
A. Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
B. Prototyping
C. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM)
D. Controlled Requirements Expression (CORE)
✅ The correct answer is option C.
Explanation: Soft systems methodology (SSM) is a systemic approach for tackling real-world problematic situations.It is a common misunderstanding that SSM is a methodology for dealing solely with ‘soft problems’ (problems which involve psychological, social, and cultural elements). SSM does not differentiate between ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ problems, it merely provides a different way of dealing with situations perceived as problematic.

27. The user system requirements are the parts of which document ?

by
A. SDD
B. SRS
C. DDD
D. SRD
✅ The correct answer is option B.
Explanation: Software requirements specification (SRS), is a complete description of the behaviour of a system to be developed and may include a set of use cases that describe interactions the users will have with the software.

28. Choose a framework that corresponds to Issue Based Information System (IBIS) ?

by
A. Idea -> Question -> Argument
B. Question -> Idea -> Argument
C. Issue -> Position -> Justification
D. Both Question -> Idea -> Argument and Issue -> Position -> Justification
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Explanation: IBIS is a simple and non-intrusive method that provides a framework for resolving issues and gathering requirements.

29. IBIS is a more structured approach than CORE ?

by
A. True
B. False
Explanation: IBIS is a more structured approach as it captures information which is consistent and important.On the other hand CORE gives importance to every view point even if it is obsolete.
✅ The correct answer is option A.

30. Which one of the following is a functional requirement ?

by
A. Maintainability
B. Portability
C. Robustness
D. None of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Explanation: All are non-functional requirements representing quality of the system. Functional requirements describe what the software has to do.
