TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 216

Which of the following best describes the purpose of the Gap Analysis technique?

Answer options

• A. To determine service levels for the architecture
• B. To establish quality metrics for the architecture
• C. To identify commercial building blocks to be purchased
• D. To identify missing functions
• E. To validate nonfunctional requirements

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Gap Analysis is specifically used to identify functions that are lacking in a system. Options A, B, C, and E do not align with the main focus of Gap Analysis, which is about recognizing gaps in functionality rather than evaluating service levels, setting quality metrics, identifying commercial resources, or validating requirements.
