A. Create a new task work item for each criterion in the spreadsheet. Set the Triage attribute for each task work item to Information Received.

B. Create test case work items for each criterion in the spreadsheet. Link the test case work items with the work item(s) for the appropriate requirements.

C. Create a new quality of service test case work item for each criterion in the spreadsheet. Link the quality of service test case work items with the work item(s) for the appropriate requirements.

D. Create Requirement work items.

Correct Answer: B,D

Question 6

You are using the Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF) for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Process Improvement 6.0 process template.
