   A BA is defining the traceability relationships for a project that will replace a legacy system. Some new requirements are derived from existing business rules, while others are dependent on the completion of a data migration task. The BA needs to document these relationships in the traceability repository. Which set of relationship types should the BA use?

   • AUse 'satisfies' for both types, since they both link requirements to other artifacts.
   • BUse 'verifies' for the business rule requirements and 'depends on' for the migration.
   • CUse 'traces to' for both, as it is the only relationship type needed.
   • DUse 'derives' for requirements that come from business rules, and 'depends on' for those that rely on the data migration.

   A business analyst (BA) is planning the traceability approach for a new customer relationship management (CRM) system.

The BA must decide what to trace and at what level of detail. Which approach best supports the regulatory requirement?

   • ATrace each regulatory requirement to the specific system function and its associated test case.
   • BTrace requirements to high-level features only, to keep the traceability matrix manageable.
   • CTrace only the legacy billing system interfaces, since they are the highest risk.
   • DTrace requirements to the project schedule milestones to show progress.
