CBAP- Solution Assessment And Validation Test

During solution validation, the root cause analysis technique can be used to ensure that the underlying reason for a defect is identified, rather than simply correcting the output which may be a symptom of a deeper underlying problem.

Evaluating solution performance is where you investigate how a solution is actually used after it is deployed and assess its positive and negative effects.

Acceptance criteria describe the minimal set of requirements that must be met in order for a particular solution to be worth implementing.

The deployed solution is the existing solution that will be replaced by a new solution.

Requirements must be prioritized and approved in order to allow a decision to be made about possible solution options during solution assessment.

You are performing release planning, part of allocating your requirements. Release planning involves making decisions about which requirements are included in each phase or iteration of the project.

Inputs for the Evaluate Solution Performance task include the solution performance metrics, the deployed solution, any identified defects, and the business requirements.

Transition requirements define capabilities needed to support the transition from the old system to the new solution, including employee training, conversion of existing information, and user acceptance testing.

The project sponsor is responsible for funding the project and required to approve the allocation of requirements to components and releases based on the recommendations of the business analyst and the project team.

The solution validation assessment provides an assessment of the solution’s ability to meet the business need at an acceptable level of quality.

Requirements allocation typically begins early in the project life cycle (as soon as the solution approach can be determined) and continues to be performed until all valid requirements are allocated, typically through design and construction of the solution.

Transition requirements are not relevant after the new solution is implemented and should be discarded. All of the remaining statements are true.

Transition requirements are defined after the solution has been designed.

Solution validation ensures that a delivered solution meets the business needs on an ongoing basis and that any identified defects are reported and prioritized for resolution.

The problem-tracking technique is used to ensure that issues identified by the organizational readiness assessment are resolved.

Allocated requirements are associated with a solution component that will implement them.

The business analyst knows the business environment and can assess how each proposed solution would affect the environment. Business analysts are also responsible for ensuring that the stakeholders fully understand the solution requirements and that implementation decisions align with those requirements.

Outputs from the validate solution task include identified defects, mitigating actions, and the solution validation assessment.

Sources of transition requirements include the actual data and metadata managed by the old system, the ongoing work in the old version of the solution, and the process for managing the organizational change resulting from the transition to the new system.

Solution validation can only be performed against a solution that exists. Although the solution may or may not be in actual use by the enterprise, it must be constructed.
