The System Evolution section of a requirements document is particularly useful for which of the following reasons? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer

(1) It helps system designers avoid restrictive design decisions that would make future changes difficult
(2) It helps system maintenance engineers who have to adapt the system to new requirements
(3) It allows designers to include support for future system features

Explanation

The System Evolution section describes anticipated changes based on hardware evolution, changing user needs, etc. This helps designers avoid restrictive decisions, helps maintenance engineers understand future change directions, and allows designers to include support for anticipated future features. It does not provide a warranty or eliminate requirements management.
