Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
“Requirement validation is one of the activities in the requirements phase.”
At first it looks correct, but according to many Software Engineering texts and exam viewpoints:
Why A is Incorrect
The requirements phase mainly includes:
Requirement elicitation
Requirement analysis
Requirement specification
Requirement validation is treated as a part of the Verification & Validation (V&V) phase, which comes after the requirements phase.
So validation is performed on the output of the requirements phase, not inside it.
