1. Quality Management in software engineering is also known as
a) SQA
b) SQM
c) SQI
d) SQA and SQM
View Answer
Explanation: Quality Management is also called software quality assurance (SQA) which serves as an umbrella activity that is applied throughout the software process.
2. Quality also can be looked at in terms of user satisfaction which includes
a) A compliant product
b) Good quality output
c) Delivery within budget and schedule
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: This focuses on how well the implementation follows the design and how well the resulting system meets its requirements .
3. Inspections and testing are what kinds of Quality Costs?
a) Prevention
b) Internal Failure
c) External Failure
d) Appraisal
View Answer
Explanation: Inspections, equipment calibration, maintenance and testing appraisal costs is quality management.
4. According to Pareto’s principle, x% of defects can be traced to y% of all causes. What are the values of x and y?
a) 60, 40
b) 70, 30
c) 80, 20
d) No such principle exists
View Answer
Explanation: The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
5. What is Six Sigma?

a) Define
b) Control
c) Measure
d) Analyse
View Answer
Explanation: It is an additional step added for existing processes and can be done in parallel.
7. Non-conformance to software requirements is known as
a) Software availability
b) Software reliability
c) Software failure
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Given a set of valid requirements, all software failures can be traced to design or implementation problems.
8. Software safety is equivalent to software reliability.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Software reliability uses statistical analysis to determine the likelihood that a software failure will occur; however, the failure may not necessarily result in a hazard or mishap.
9. Misinterpretation of customer communication is a sample of possible cause defects.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Translation gap between the client and the developer often leads to software defects.

a) Prevention
b) Internal Failure
c) External Failure
d) Appraisal
View Answer
Explanation: This includes rework, repair, and failure mode analysis.
11. The degree to which the design specifications are followed during manufacturing is known as
a) Quality of design
b) Quality of conformance
c) Quality of testing
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: This focuses on how well the implementation follows the design and how well the resulting system meets its requirements.
12. Quality of design encompasses requirements and specifications of the system.
a) True
b) False
