Quality management

1. What is the primary goal of Software Quality Management?

• A) To speed up the software development process

• B) To ensure that the required level of quality is achieved in a software product

• C) To reduce the cost of software development

• D) To increase software complexity

2. Which of the following is a functional quality attribute of software?

• A) Robustness

• B) Reliability

• C) Reusability

• D) All of the above

3. Why is it difficult to optimize all software quality attributes simultaneously?

• A) Because improving one attribute may negatively impact another

• B) Because software developers are resistant to changes

• C) Because software quality attributes are not measurable

• D) Because standards do not allow optimization

4. What is the main purpose of software standards?

• A) To make software development more expensive

• B) To define required attributes to ensure quality, reliability, and maintainability

• C) To remove all defects from software

• D) To make software development slower

5. Which of the following is an example of a process standard?

• A) Code style guidelines

• B) User interface (UI) guidelines

• C) Software development lifecycle models (e.g., Agile, Waterfall)

• D) Documentation standards

6. What is ISO 9001 primarily concerned with?

• A) Defining security standards for software

• B) Ensuring that software follows a documented and standardized quality process

• C) Improving software user interfaces

• D) Developing software for the automotive industry

7. What is a key challenge in enforcing software standards?

• A) Lack of software developers

• B) Too many competing standards

• C) Resistance from developers, outdated standards, and excessive documentation

• D) Inability to measure software quality

8. How do reviews and inspections contribute to software quality?

• A) They eliminate all defects from the software

• B) They provide a systematic approach to identifying defects early in development

• C) They replace the need for testing

• D) They ensure that software is developed faster

9. Which of the following is a formal, structured defect-detection process?

• A) Code review

• B) Inspection

• C) Debugging

• D) Testing

10. Why is security an essential aspect of software inspections?

• A) Because security flaws can be costly to fix after software release

• B) Because security is not a concern in early development

• C) Because software inspections focus only on performance issues

• D) Because security is only needed in government software
