Which of the following can be valid sources of a change proposal for an existing software system? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer
(1) Existing requirements that have not yet been implemented in the released system
(2) Requests for entirely new requirements
(3) Bug reports from system stakeholders
(4) New ideas for software improvement from the development team
Explanation
Change proposals may be based on existing unimplemented requirements, requests for new requirements, bug reports from stakeholders, or new improvement ideas from the development team. Random unmotivated rewrites are not a legitimate driver of change proposals.
