PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 45

The business managers had clearly stated that the delivered website must simultaneously accommodate millions of users around the globe. However, within the first week of the production launch, the website crashes frequently.
This situation could have been averted if:

Answer options

• A. critical business requirements were accommodated and tested.
• B. essential product requirements were captured and tested.
• C. quality attributes were captured and tested.
• D. nonfunctional requirements were identified and tested.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Identifying and testing nonfunctional requirements, such as scalability and performance, is crucial to ensure that the website can handle a large number of users simultaneously. While critical business requirements, essential product requirements, and quality attributes are important, they do not specifically address the performance issues that arise from high user loads.
