A checklist is a quality control tool used to ensure that requirements and designs meet specific criteria before they are finalized. It helps analysts systematically verify completeness, correctness, clarity, feasibility, and testability of requirements or design elements. Checklists serve as a structured way to reduce omissions and improve quality during the verification process.
Used during:
