►True
►False

Question No: 12 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
If Configuration item identification is not identified, it is possible to control changes and establish records.

► True
► False

Question No: 13 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Availability and Reliability are concerned with

Sponsored Links

► Perceived quality
► Quantitatively measured quality


Question No: 14 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Software Availability can be calculated by the following equation:

► Availability = (MTTR/MTTF) x 100
► Availability = (MTBF/MTTR) x 100
► Availability = (MTTF/MTBF) x 100
► Availability = (MTBF/MTTF) x 100


Question No: 15 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Phase Index can be calculated by the help of the following formula, where
Ei – the total number of errors uncovered during the ith step in the SE process
Si – number of serious errors
Mi – number of moderate errors
Ti – number of minor errors
PSi – product size at the ith step
ws, wm, wt – weighting factors for serious, moderate, and minor errors

► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Ei) + wt(Ti/Ei)
► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/T)
► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/Ei)
► PIi = ws(Si/S) + wm(Mi/M) + wt(Ti/E)


Question No: 16 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
The higher the Error Index, the higher will be the Defect Removal Efficiency

► True
► False


Question No: 17 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
The goal of quality assurance is to provide management with the data needed to determine which software engineers are producing the most defects.

► true
► false

Question No: 18 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

Question No: 19 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
The prototyping model of software development is

► a reasonable approach when requirements are well defined.
► a useful approach when a customer cannot define requirements clearly.
► the best approach to use for projects with large development teams.
► a risky model that rarely produces a meaningful product.
