Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Request a test case to be created for that requirement.
Request a test case to be created for that requirement. In business analysis, traceability ensures every requirement has a corresponding test case to verify it is implemented correctly. When a requirement lacks a test case, the BA should first request one to maintain coverage. Option A is incorrect because the project manager does not typically authorize test cases; the BA or QA team handles them. Option B is incorrect because ignoring the issue violates traceability best practices. Option D is incorrect because removing the requirement is premature without analysis; the BA should first try to create a test case.
