Requirements Validation, Verification and Testing Explained | Business Analysis Module 7

How can a Business Analyst confirm that a proposed solution addresses the right problem and that its requirements have been implemented correctly? In this Module 7 session, we work through requirements validation and verification using practical business examples. Validation helps establish whether requirements reflect stakeholder needs and business objectives. Verification checks the quality of the requirements and provides evidence that the solution meets the agreed specification. The session covers: • The difference between validation and verification • Reviewing requirements for clarity, completeness, consistency, feasibility and testability • Prototypes, workshops, surveys and user story mapping • Stakeholder walkthroughs and requirements reviews • Using a Requirements Traceability Matrix to identify gaps in coverage • Linking requirements to business objectives, user stories and test cases • Unit, integration, system and user acceptance testing • Managing requirement changes and updating the agreed baseline We also apply these concepts to a business case: selecting priority requirements, reviewing their quality, deciding how to test them and assessing the impact of a proposed change. This lesson is useful for aspiring Business Analysts and anyone developing a solution to a real organisational problem. As you watch, consider whether you can explain the source of each important requirement and show evidence that it has been met.
