As a project manager for a software development project, you are determining the order of tasks in your schedule. Task A is 'Develop User Interface', and Task B is 'Perform User Acceptance Testing'. Testing cannot begin until development is fully completed. Which of the following best describes the appropriate logical link between these two tasks?
The Finish-to-Start (FS) relationship is appropriate because Task B ('Perform User Acceptance Testing') cannot start until Task A ('Develop User Interface') has finished. In an FS relationship, the successor task begins only after the predecessor task has completed, which accurately reflects the sequence where testing follows the completion of development. The Start-to-Start (SS) relationship would mean both tasks begin at the same time, which doesn't fit since testing depends on development completion. Finish-to-Finish (FF) implies both tasks finish simultaneously, which isn't the case here. Start-to-Finish (SF) is a less common relationship where the successor task cannot finish until the predecessor task starts, which does not apply to this scenario.
