Requirements engineering processes may include four high-level activities. Sort them in the order they are typically first encountered (though they are iterative in practice).
Feasibility Study
Requirements Elicitation and Analysis
Requirements Specification
Requirements Validation
Correct Answer
(1) Feasibility Study
(2) Requirements Elicitation and Analysis
(3) Requirements Specification
(4) Requirements Validation
Explanation
The four high-level activities are: (1) Feasibility Study — assessing if the system is useful to the business; (2) Elicitation and Analysis — discovering requirements; (3) Specification — converting requirements into standard form; (4) Validation — checking requirements define what the customer wants. In practice they are interleaved, not strictly sequential.
