True or False: When a system is changed first and the requirements document is updated later (or not at all), the requirements specification and system implementation will almost inevitably get out of step.
Correct Answer
True
Explanation
This is true. Changing the system without updating the requirements document almost inevitably leads to inconsistency. Once system changes are made, it is easy to forget to update the requirements document. Over time, the requirements document and implementation drift apart, making maintenance, testing, and future changes much harder.
