AValidate the requirements deemed important by the stakeholders.

BB. Obtain approval from engineering for partial testing of the requirements.

Suggested Answer: D

Verification is the process of ensuring that the requirements meet a quality checklist and conform to the specified standards, rules, and criteria. Verification can help the business analyst to ensure that all requirements meet a quality checklist before the development and testing phase by checking the completeness, correctness, clarity, consistency, and testability of each requirement. Verification can also help to identify and resolve any defects, errors, or ambiguities in the requirements.Reference: = PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) Examination Content Outline (2019), page 10; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide (2015), page 40.
