Requirements Validation
Requirements Validation Skill
Purpose
Ensure that the requirements are correct, complete, consistent, and actually solve the business problem before development begins. "Building the right thing" vs. "Building the thing right".
Verification vs. Validation
- Verification: "Are we building the product right?" (Does the Requirement meet quality standards?)
- Validation: "Are we building the right product?" (Does the Requirement solve the user's need?)
Key Validation Techniques
1. Peer Review / Walkthroughs
- Process: Informal or semi-formal review with colleagues (Devs, other BAs).
- Goal: Find logic errors, ambiguities, and missing edge cases.
- Checklist:
- Is it clear?
- Is it testable?
- Is it feasible?
