Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 379

You are the business analyst for your organization and are working on a solution that will connect several databases to a web application. You are concerned that the databases may not be operable with the software solution a programmer is recommending.
What requirements elicitation technique can help you determine the interoperability of the software, the databases, and the web application?

Answer options

• A. Benchmarking
• B. Interviews
• C. Interface analysis
• D. Usage considerations

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Interface analysis, because it specifically focuses on assessing how different systems can interact and work together, which directly addresses the interoperability concern. The other options, while useful in their own contexts, do not specifically target the evaluation of compatibility between software and databases.
