IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering – Foundation Level — Question 2

In delimiting system and system context, a differentiation is made between the system boundary and the context boundary. This differentiation is important in order to understand which aspects impact on the requirements of the system to be developed and which do not. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The context boundary separates the system from the system context.
• B. The system boundary and the context boundary define the system context.
• C. The system context includes all aspects that are not relevant to the requirements of the planned system.
• D. Only the aspects within the system boundary must be taken into account in order to determine the requirements of the system to be developed.
• E. The selection of the system boundary establishes which aspects are covered by the system to be developed and which lie beyond its scope.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct as it accurately describes the function of the context boundary in separating the system from its external environment. Option B is also correct because it states that both boundaries work together to outline the system's context. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the role of the system context or suggest that only elements within the system boundary are relevant to the requirements.
