ASTQB Exam - Topic 4 Question 100 Discussion

Posted by Jamie on Jan 05, 2026 at 05:16 AM

Which of the following requirements documents would be the best source to determine normal usage scenarios?

Suggested Answer: B

Use cases should supply the expected usage scenarios. User stories are too brief to give the scenario view. Usability requirements generally focus on the user interface requirements rather than usage scenarios. Requirements specifications are notorious for not having much information regarding actual usage.
