ISQI Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering - Foundation Level Examination Sample Questions:

1. In order to document a door system for a underground railway system, the following activity diagram has been modelled. You reconcile this diagram with your notes. Which two of the following notes were not represented in the diagram? (1 Point)
Your notes:

A) If the door is open, it is subsequently closed.
B) If the door is closed, it is subsequently opened.
C) The tread is pulled in once the door is closed.
D) The light-emitting diode is deactivated at the end of the process.
E) Double pressing of the door button countermands the currently running action.

2. Requirements documentation can either be natural language or model-based. Which two
statements are most applicable? (2 Points)

A) If documentation is model-based, natural language documentation can be dispensed with.
B) In requirements engineering models are more suitable than textual descriptions to reduce the complexity of the entity being considered.
C) When deciding between model-based and natural language documentation, model-based is preferable.
D) As models are more formal, they offer a higher degree of uniqueness compared to natural language.

3. Sentence-templates can be used to document natural language requirements. You want to introduce such a sentence-template in your project and must convince your project manager of its advantages. Which two arguments do most likely put forward in this discussion? (2 Points)

A) Requirements that are formulated according to the sentence-template contain no linguistic transformation effects.
B) A requirement drafted according to a sentence-template satisfies all quality criteria for requirements.
C) Drafting requirements in accordance with sentence-templates can be learned in a short time.
D) High quality requirements are guaranteed already from the initial documentation.
E) The use of a sentence-template basically delivers greater information content.

4. As part of the "UniKasso" project, the "CRETIL" company is standardising the payment
methods for all customers. The requirements specification has been created and the first release is currently being implemented.
This week, the management has decided to include the implementation of the "credit card" mode of payment in the first release and to shift the "direct debit" mode of payment to the second release. The test manager receives the order to adjust the test planning accordingly.
Which particular characteristic of the requirements will facilitate the work of the test manager significantly in this respect? (1 Point)

A) Flexibility
B) Traceability
C) Coherence
D) Stability
E) Testability

5. You are to create a requirements specification for an internet banking software. The system shall perform bank credit transfers and therefore receives from the user, among other information, the bank identification code and the name of the bank. Now things have changed so that only the bank identification code must be entered by the user and the bank name is no longer required. On which part of your documentation do you most likely have to work in order to incorporate this change? (2 Points)

A) If it is about inputs and outputs of the system, this changehas to be worked into the context diagram.
B) As a change in the goals has been communicated, the goals in the specification must be updated.
C) Nowhere, since this is a detail for the architecture.
D) In the chapter in which the statesof the system are described.
E) You have to adjust the class model and/or the data model, which describe the structure of the system's input and output data.
