A manufacturing company has developed a new inventory management system. Before deployment, the project manager wants to ensure the system meets the specified requirements and that it will work effectively in the warehouse environment. Which activity is most appropriate for validating the system in the operational environment?

Conduct user acceptance testing (UAT) with warehouse staff using real inventory data and workflows.

Perform unit testing on each module to ensure they work correctly.

Run a simulation of the system with synthetic data to test performance.

Review the system design documents to confirm the architecture is sound.

A retail company is designing a new e-commerce platform that must handle seasonal traffic spikes and integrate with a legacy inventory system. The architecture must also support future expansion to new regions. Which architectural approach best satisfies these requirements?

Deploy a replicated database with read replicas but keep the application logic on a single server.

Use a monolithic architecture deployed on a single server to simplify integration with the legacy system.

Design a microservices architecture with an API gateway and auto-scaling capabilities.

Outsource the entire platform to a cloud provider and avoid architectural design.

In requirements analysis, which of the following best describes a non-functional requirement?

A requirement that is optional and can be deferred to a later release

A requirement that specifies system qualities such as performance, security, and usability

A requirement that is only relevant during the testing phase

A requirement that describes a specific feature the system must provide

Which activity is an example of validation?

User acceptance testing in the operational environment

Unit testing to verify a function's output

Integration testing to ensure components work together

Code review to check for syntax errors

Why is user training an important part of the transition and deployment phase?

To decommission the legacy system

To document the system's architecture

To ensure users can effectively operate the new system

To verify that the system meets performance requirements
