IIBA CCBA Exam - Topic 1 Question 123 Discussion

Posted by Myra on Apr 01, 2026 at 11:47 AM

A business analyst (BA) has elicited the following requirement; "The solution must ensure the portal response times are under 2 seconds." What requirement classification schema does this requirement belong to?

Suggested Answer: A

The requirement classification schema that this requirement belongs to is nonfunctional requirements. Nonfunctional requirements are statements of conditions or restrictions on a solution or its components that affect its quality, performance, usability, reliability, security, etc. Nonfunctional requirements specify how well a solution should perform or behave.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option B is incorrect because stakeholder requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Stakeholder requirements are statements of needs, expectations, preferences, or problems of stakeholders or an organization.

Option C is incorrect because transitional requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Transitional requirements are statements of capabilities or conditions that enable a solution to transition from its current state to its desired future state.

Option D is incorrect because functional requirements are not a requirement classification schema, but a requirement type. Functional requirements are statements of features, functions, or behaviors of a solution or its components that enable it to provide value to stakeholders.

I’m a bit confused; I thought transitional requirements were about changes during implementation, but this seems more about system performance.

This sounds similar to a practice question I did, and I think it was classified as a functional requirement, but that doesn't seem right here.

I remember studying requirement classifications, and I feel like this one fits under nonfunctional requirements since it deals with response times.
