Q211.
What is the focus of SPICE?

a.

Separate maturity rating for each of its practices

b.

Comparison with similar organizations

c.

Emphasis on the way process assessments are performed

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (c).Emphasis on the way process assessments are performed Explanation:SPICE is an international standard for software process improvement and capability determination. It has different process categories and different maturity level for each process. It places heavy emphasis on the way process assessments are performed.
Q212.
What is the danger of organizations focusing on obtaining CMM or ISO 9000 certification?

a.

Shift of focus from developing software to developing processes

b.

Guarantee of software quality

c.

Silver bullet solution for software development

d.

Framed certificate guarantees software quality

Discuss
Answer: (a).Shift of focus from developing software to developing processes Explanation:The massive attention of organizations to obtaining CMM or ISO 9000 certification holds the danger that focus shifts from developing software to developing processes, instead of ensuring the quality of the software developed under it.
Q213.
Is the SEI's Capability Maturity Model appropriate for small companies?

a.

Yes

b.

No

c.

May be Yes or No

d.

Can't say

Discuss
Answer: (b).No Explanation:It is doubtful whether small companies can afford the time and money required by a process improvement program as advocated by CMM.
Q214.
Does the Personal Software Process (PSP) alleviate the criticism of CMM for small companies?

a.

Yes

b.

No

c.

May be Yes or No

d.

Can't say

Discuss
Answer: (a).Yes Explanation:The Personal Software Process (PSP) may alleviate some of the criticism of CMM for small companies, as it is a self-improvement process for individuals and does not require the same resources as CMM.
Q215.
What is the focus of CMM?

a.

Structured work processes, strict plans, and standardization

b.

Creativity and flexibility

c.

Configuration management and testing

d.

Requirements analysis and design

Discuss
Answer: (a).Structured work processes, strict plans, and standardization Explanation:CMM is focused on discipline: structured work processes, strict plans, standardization. This fits bigger companies better than small ones and activities that lend themselves to a strict approach, such as configuration management and testing.
Q216.
How does the dichotomy between factory-like and craft-like aspects of software engineering relate to CMM?

a.

CMM is more suited for factory-like software development

b.

CMM is more suited for craft-like software development

c.

CMM may have a stifling effect on craft-like software development activities such as requirements analysis and design

d.

CMM does not affect the dichotomy between factory-like and craft-like aspects of software engineering

Discuss
Answer: (c).CMM may have a stifling effect on craft-like software development activities such as requirements analysis and design Explanation:The dichotomy between factory-like and craft-like aspects of software engineering surfaces with CMM as it focuses on discipline, strict plans, and standardization which may have a stifling effect on craft-like software development activities such as requirements analysis and design that require a certain amount of creativity.
Q217.
What is the issue with CMM's original maturity levels?

a.

They constitute a rather crude five-point scale

b.

They are not reliable

c.

They have high demands on their reliability

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:CMM's original maturity levels constitute a rather crude five-point scale. If the assessment of a level 2 organization reveals that it fails the level 3 criteria on just one tiny issue, the verdict is rather harsh: the organization simply remains at level 2. This may not improve morale after two years of hard labor and significant investment. This implication of maturity assessments places high demands on their reliability.
Q218.
What is the consequence of the rather crude assessment of organizations on a five-point scale?

a.

US government requires level 3 certification to qualify for contracts

b.

Level 1 and level 2 organizations are necessarily performing below standard

c.

Level 3 certification is all that matters

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The US government requires level 3 certification to qualify for contracts. This may imply that level 1 and level 2 organizations are necessarily performing below standard. If level 3 certification is all that matters, it may not be worthwhile to aim for level 4 or 5.
Q219.
How does CMM's original levels compare to an instrument panel of an airplane?

a.

They are like an instrument panel with one gauge

b.

They show a lot of detail

c.

They provide the pilot with a lot of information

d.

None of the above

Discuss
Answer: (a).They are like an instrument panel with one gauge Explanation:CMM's original levels are like an instrument panel of an airplane with one gauge, which moreover can display only a few discrete values and thus provides the pilot with very little information.
Q220.
What is the implication of maturity assessments according to CMM?

a.

The organization simply remains at level 2

b.

The organization is performing below standard

c.

It is not worthwhile to aim for level 4 or 5

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (a).The organization simply remains at level 2 Explanation:If the assessment of a level 2 organization reveals that it fails the level 3 criteria on just one tiny issue, the verdict is rather harsh: the organization simply remains at level 2. This may not improve morale after two years of hard labor and significant investment.
