[All ASTQB Questions]

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

ARequirements specification

BUse cases

CUser stories

DUsability Requirements

Show Suggested Answer

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.

I’m leaning towards use cases too, but I wonder if usability requirements might give some insights into how users typically interact with the system.

The requirements specification seems like the obvious choice here. That's where you'd find the overall functional requirements, including details on how the system is expected to be used.
