What are derived requirements typically identified during?

Derived requirements are typically identified during the elicitation of stakeholder requirements. This phase involves gathering information from stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations for the system. As these stakeholder requirements are analyzed, it often becomes necessary to identify additional specifications that are needed to ensure the system can satisfy those requirements fully.

In the process of interpreting and refining stakeholder needs, the team may recognize gaps or additional functionalities that need to be established to achieve the desired outcomes. These additional specifications, which stem from the stakeholder requirements, are what we refer to as derived requirements. They are essential for the design and development processes, as they help clarify what the system must do to meet the stakeholders' expectations.

The other options do not accurately capture when derived requirements are typically identified. Requirement validation focuses on ensuring that the gathered requirements meet the necessary standards and accurately reflect user needs, but it does not involve the identification of new derived requirements. Trade studies are conducted to evaluate different design alternatives and solutions, and while they may inform aspects of requirement development, they are not specifically designed to identify derived requirements. Lastly, the final system deployment phase focuses on system delivery and does not involve uncovering new requirements; rather, it is about validating that the existing requirements have been met.
