Which activity checks that the system was built correctly?

  • A.Maintenance, which keeps the knowledge base current as the domain itself changes over time
  • B.Verification
  • C.Validation, which checks that the system solves the problem the users actually need solved
  • D.Elicitation

Answer: B

Verification asks whether the knowledge base is internally sound, free of conflicts, redundancy, circularity and unreachable rules. Validation asks the different question of whether its answers are right, usually by comparing them with experts on test cases. Elicitation and maintenance are separate phases. The pairing of the two questions, building it right against building the right thing, is worth memorising in this form. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
