SQA-TEST

What is the purpose of Verification and Validation (V&V) activities in software engineering?

• To ensure that the software is examined only during testing

• To assist in measuring the reliability and consistency of the software

• To skip the testing phase entirely

• To avoid additional steps in ensuring software quality

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of conducting V&V activities?

• Assisting in deciding whether to proceed to the next phase of development

• Highlighting problems early in the development cycle

• Delaying the identification of software issues

• Providing early statistics of the software quality

What role does management play in the success of the V&V process?

• Ignoring the results of V&V activities

• Discouraging problem identification and process improvement

• Allowing time for evaluating the results of V&V activities

• Avoiding support for proposed changes

How do V&V activities assist in the success of software development?

• By skipping the testing phase entirely

• By delaying the identification of software issues

• By avoiding management involvement

• By highlighting problems early in the development cycle

Which item is NOT included in the minimum requirements for a software Verification and Validation Plan (VVP)?

• Objective

• Risk Analysis

• Schedule

• Control Procedures

What is the purpose of the "Requirements Validation Matrix" (RVM) in the V&V process?

• To skip the testing phase entirely

• To ensure all requirements are covered by the tests

• To avoid evaluating requirements altogether

• To measure the reliability of the software

Which phase of the V&V process is designed to test requirements?

• Implementation phase V&V

• Test phase V&V

• Requirements phase V&V

• Installation phase V&V

What is evaluated during the "Requirements Evaluation" activity in the V&V process?

• Functionality of the software

• Complete coverage of requirements

• Performance of the software

• Compliance with industry standards

According to the provided definition, what is Total Quality Management (TQM)?

• A system that focuses only on product quality

• An arrangement of procedures and practices ensuring continuous improvement in quality, service, and total costs

• A management system that neglects customer expectations

• A method solely driven by the quest for profit

What was the key to the success of Japanese manufacturing post World War II?

• Influence of Dr. W. E. Deming

• Strict government regulations

• Abundance of resources
