Which one of the following statements related to the requirements phase in…

Concept

Requirements engineering is commonly organized around elicitation, analysis, specification, and validation. Analysis develops an understanding of needs and models; specification records the agreed requirements; validation checks whether the requirements artifacts describe the intended system.

Technical classifications depend on established terminology. Formal-specification literature uses “model-oriented” or “model-based” for specifications built around an abstract state model, alongside approaches such as algebraic or property-oriented specification.

Application

The UGC NET December 2015 final key marks the statement containing “modelling-oriented approach” as the incorrect statement. The standard term is “model-oriented” or “model-based” specification, not “modelling-oriented approach”.

Contrast

• Requirement validation is a recognized requirements-engineering activity that checks requirements artifacts.

• Prototyping supports requirements analysis by making proposed behavior concrete enough for stakeholder feedback.

• “Modelling-oriented approach” is not the established name of the formal-specification category; the recognized label is “model-oriented” or “model-based”.

• Function-point analysis measures functional size from user-visible functions available in requirements or specifications.

Cross-check

The official exam key selects the statement containing “modelling-oriented approach”, while SWEBOK independently lists validation within software requirements and discusses prototyping and conceptual modelling within requirements work. ISO function-point standards also treat function points as a software-sizing method.

Result

Therefore, the incorrect statement is: “Modelling-oriented approach” is one of the methods for specifying the functional specifications.
