Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 93

Bob and Susan are business analysts for their organization. They are examining two materials that could be used in an upcoming project.
They are testing the materials and measuring the results of each test to compare the materials to each other. This process will help Bob and Susan determine which material is best for their upcoming project. What type of process are Bob and Susan completing with these materials?

Answer options

• A. Stress test
• B. Feasibility study
• C. Benchmarking
• D. Alternative identification

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Benchmarking, as Bob and Susan are comparing the performance of two materials against each other to determine which is superior. A stress test is more focused on the durability under pressure, a feasibility study assesses overall viability, and alternative identification involves finding different options rather than comparing their performance.
