About this test
This test is built around the Business Analyst role. It covers how to find out what a client really needs and write it down so a team can build it: requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process maps and working with stakeholders.
It is practice only and is not part of any job application.
What it covers
The question set has 24 questions: 8 easy, 16 medium and 0 hard. Each attempt draws 20 of them at random, so a second try is not the same test.
- Elicitation and stakeholders (6)
- Process and delivery (7)
- Requirements (11)
Try a few sample questions
These are real questions from the set, with the answers and a short explanation. Read the question, decide, then open it to check.
Sample 1 · Requirements · easyWhat is the difference between a functional and a non-functional requirement?Show the answer
- None
- A functional requirement says what the system does, a non-functional one says how well it must do it, such as speed or securityCorrect

Performance, security and accessibility needs are common non-functional requirements.
Sample 2 · Elicitation and stakeholders · easyWhich of these is a requirements elicitation technique?Show the answer
- Compiling code
- Interviews, workshops and observing users at workCorrect

Using more than one technique gives a fuller picture.
Sample 3 · Process and delivery · easyWhat is the difference between an as-is and a to-be process?Show the answer
- None
- As-is is how the process works today, to-be is how it should work after the changeCorrect
- To-be is the past
- As-is is the future
Comparing the two shows what the project must change.
