The requirements catalogue allows the business analyst to document the business / system requirements in a structured way to allow requirement delivery to be tracked through design, development and testing with the use of unique ids.

Use this template when the requirements are to be written as functional statements and there is no requirements tool available.

The Work Package Definition allows the Business Analyst to document their level of understanding of the problem space and gain agreement to this before work commences. It helps to structure thinking and plan resources required to complete the work.

Use this template when asked to complete a piece of work. It can be used for discrete deliverables or for the end-to-end analysis within a project.

The Test Scenario is a high-level list of scenarios that must be tested in order to meet the project / sub-project goals.

Use this template to aid test planning with resource requirements, dependencies and time lines.

The test script is a low level sequence of steps to test each scenario. This can be written at a high-level (i.e. login and add Customer Address) or a low level (i.e. add user name and password, click ok. Navigate to Customer > Maintenance > Contact)

If the system holds any complexity and tests will need to be repeated it is a good idea to write test scripts. If multiple users will be running the scripts you are more likely to require a lower level of detail.

Business Analysis, it's like riding a bike.
