Q101.
What is the Capability Maturity Model (CMM)?

a.

A set of guidelines for improving the software development process

b.

A five-point scale to rate organizations

c.

A set of quality assurance procedures

d.

A similar approach to process improvement as SPICE and Bootstrap

Discuss
Answer: (a).A set of guidelines for improving the software development process Explanation:CMM is a best-known attempt at providing directions on how to improve the development process. It uses a five-point scale to rate organizations and indicates key areas of focus in order to progress to a higher maturity level.
Q102.
What is the purpose of using a single numeric value to express a quality attribute?

a.

To compare the values of different programs

b.

To measure the length of programs

c.

To measure the number of gotos in programs

d.

To measure the number of if-statements in programs

Discuss
Answer: (a).To compare the values of different programs Explanation:The purpose of using a single numeric value to express a quality attribute is to compare the values of different programs and decide which one is more complex or difficult to comprehend and maintain.
Q103.
What are some examples of quality attributes that can be expressed in a single numeric value?

a.

Length of program text

b.

Number of gotos in program text

c.

Number of if-statements in program text

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The length of program text, the number of gotos, and the number of if-statements are examples of quality attributes that can be expressed in a single numeric value.
Q104.
What is the main goal of software quality assurance procedures?

a.

To guarantee quality products

b.

To review and audit the software development process and its products

c.

To ensure that work is done quickly

d.

To ensure that work is done cheaply

Discuss
Answer: (b).To review and audit the software development process and its products Explanation:Software quality assurance procedures provide the means to review and audit the software development process and its products. Quality assurance by itself does not guarantee quality products. Quality assurance merely sees to it that work is done the way it is supposed to be done.
Q105.
What is the CMM?

a.

A model for measuring software quality

b.

A five-point scale to rate organizations and indicates key areas of focus in order to progress to a higher maturity level

c.

A model for measuring the complexity of a program text

d.

A model for measuring the length of a program text

Discuss
Answer: (b).A five-point scale to rate organizations and indicates key areas of focus in order to progress to a higher maturity level Explanation:The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is the best known attempt at directions on how to improve the development process. It uses a five-point scale to rate organizations and indicates key areas of focus in order to progress to a higher maturity level.
Q106.
What does the term "metric" mean in the field of software engineering?

a.

A measure

b.

The unit of a measure

c.

The combination of an attribute of an entity, the function which assigns a value to that attribute, the unit in which this value is expressed, and its scale type

d.

A way to describe how far apart two points are

Discuss
Answer: (c).The combination of an attribute of an entity, the function which assigns a value to that attribute, the unit in which this value is expressed, and its scale type Explanation:In the field of software engineering, the term is often used in a somewhat sloppy way. Sometimes it denotes a measure, sometimes the unit of a measure. We will use the term to denote the combination of an attribute of an entity, the function which assigns a value to that attribute, the unit in which this value is expressed, and its scale type.
Q107.
What is the "attribute-relation model"?

a.

A model that computes or predicts the value of an attribute in which we are interested from the values of one or more other attributes from the model.

b.

A model that describes how far apart two points are

c.

A model that describes the mapping from the empirical, ‘real’ world to the formal, relational world

d.

A model that describes the relationship between different attributes of different entities in the ‘real’ world.

Discuss
Answer: (a).A model that computes or predicts the value of an attribute in which we are interested from the values of one or more other attributes from the model. Explanation:The attribute-relation model is a model that computes (predicts) the value of an attribute in which we are interested from the values of one or more other attributes from the model. It describes the relationship between different attributes of different entities in the ‘real’ world.
Q108.
What is the problem with measuring quality attributes in a single numeric value?

a.

It is not always possible to find a valid mapping from programs to numbers

b.

It is difficult to compare the values of different programs

c.

It is difficult to know what attributes to measure

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The expressing quality attributes in a single numeric value is difficult because it is not always possible to find a valid mapping from programs to numbers, it is difficult to compare the values of different programs, and it is difficult to know what attributes to measure.
Q109.
What is the difference between internal and external attributes of an entity?

a.

Internal attributes can be measured directly, while external attributes can only be measured indirectly

b.

Internal attributes can be measured indirectly, while external attributes can only be measured directly

c.

Internal attributes are related to the entity itself, while external attributes are related to the entity's environment

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (c).Internal attributes are related to the entity itself, while external attributes are related to the entity's environment Explanation:The internal attributes of an entity can be measured purely in terms of that entity itself, while external attributes of an entity are those which can be measured only with respect to how that entity relates to its environment.
Q110.
What is the condition that must be met for a measure to be considered valid?

a.

The measure must be based on direct measurements

b.

The measure must be based on indirect measurements

c.

The measure must preserve the empirical relations between objects in the real world

d.

The measure must be based on statistical means

Discuss
Answer: (c).The measure must preserve the empirical relations between objects in the real world Explanation:The representation condition states that if we observe that car A drives faster than car B, then the function S that maps the speed observed to some number should be such that S(A)>S(B). This means that the numerical relation system used must preserve the empirical relations between objects in the real world for the measure to be considered valid.
