Topic #: 4

In order to have high quality in requirements, all of the following characteristics should exist in the requirements except for which one?

ACohesive

BConsistent

CComplete

DConstrained

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

If an organization is launching an unprecedented product or service, it may be necessary to make assumptions about customer or stakeholder response, as there are no similar previous experiences on which to rely. In other cases, it may be difficult or impossible to prove that a particular problem derives from an identified root cause. Stakeholders may have assumed that certain benefits will result from the implementation of a requirement. These assumptions are identified and defined so that associated risks can be managed.

Wait, constrained? That sounds weird for requirements.

I’m a bit confused because I thought all of them were important, but I guess "constrained" doesn’t really fit with the others.

This reminds me of a practice question we did where "complete" was emphasized. I feel like "constrained" might not be a quality requirement.

I think "cohesive," "consistent," and "complete" are definitely important, but I can't recall if "constrained" is necessary.

I remember we discussed the characteristics of high-quality requirements, but I'm not sure if "constrained" fits in there.

This seems straightforward to me. The answer is clearly A - using a breakpoint and running in debug mode is the way to manually step through and analyze the robot's behavior.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Making the email completely image-based doesn't seem like the best idea for accessibility. I'll probably go with the alt text and branding colors.

Clearly, the exam writers are trying to 'constrain' our thinking. Time to break free and fly with the requirements!

Gotta be 'Constrained'. What were the exam writers thinking? Everyone knows requirements should be as free as a bird!

I think the exam writers made a mistake including 'Constrained'. It doesn't fit with the other characteristics of high-quality requirements.

Interesting question. I'm going to go with 'Constrained' as the exception. Requirements should be comprehensive, not limiting.
