Explanation

According to the BABOK® Guide, abstraction is the process of removing or suppressing details to focus on essential characteristics. Abstraction helps to make the requirements as re-usable as possible by avoiding unnecessary or specific details that may vary across different contexts or situations. For a pharmaceutical distribution company with an expansion plan across many states, each with their own tools and methods, the BA should describe the requirements at a high level of abstraction to capture the common and essential features and functions that are applicable to all states.
