Impact of System Rigidity and Fragility

What does rigidity in a system primarily affect?

• User interface

• Adaptability to change

• Security measures

• Storage capacity

What is a likely impact of a rigid system?

• Improved user satisfaction

• Increased innovation

• Extensive reworking for small changes

• Reduced time delays

Which practical example best illustrates rigidity?

• A web application that crashes due to API failure

• A CRM system with different interfaces for similar functions

• An ERP system that is hard to migrate to the cloud

• A retail management system difficult to modify for new payment methods

How is fragility defined in software systems?

• Inability to be easily moved

• Easily breaking under stress

• Inconsistent user interfaces

• Poor user satisfaction

What can be a consequence of a fragile system?

• Improved revenue

• Frequent outages

• Easier upgrades

• Increased productivity

Which example demonstrates fragility?

• A CRM system with different user interfaces

• A retail management system hard to modify for new features

• An application crashing due to an API failure

• A healthcare system difficult to navigate

What is the definition of immobility in software systems?

• Inability to be easily moved to a new environment

• Inconsistent behaviour of system parts

• Difficulty in modifying a system

• Poor user satisfaction due to inefficiencies

What is a potential impact of an immobile system?

• Increased scalability

• Vendor lock-in

• Enhanced user experience

Which scenario best exemplifies immobility?

• A CRM system with different user interfaces

• A travel booking site crashing due to API failure

• An ERP system hard-coded to local servers

• A sluggish healthcare management system

How is inconsistency described in the context of software systems?

• Inability to be easily adapted

• Easily breaking under stress

• Unexpected or contradictory behaviour

• Poor user satisfaction
