Chapter 10 Flashcards
The decision to agree to any defects that are found as a result of quality testing
Acceptance
Tasks that come about, usually at a project status meeting, that require follow up or resolution. These do not don’t have a direct impact on the work of the project.
Action Items
Projects that evolve into ongoing operations are considerd projects that end because of __________.
Addition
A perfornace management tool used to measure the activities and processes a business uses to meet its strategic goals.
Balanced Scorecard
Shows a relationshiop between the effects of problems and their causes
Cause-and-Effect/Ishikawa Diagram
These come about as a result of circumstances that are relatively common to the process you’re using.
Common Cause of Variances
Measures and displays the variance of several samples of the same process over time.
Control Chart
Diagrams that show the sequence of interrelated decisions and the expected results of choosing one alternative over the other.
Decision Trees
This test involves using the software from start to end to ensure the application is working correctly.
End-to-End Testing
When the project has been completed and accepted by the stakeholders.
Extinction
Diagrams that show the logical steps that must be performed in order to accomplish an objective. They can also show how the individual elements of a system interrelate
Flowcharts
This occurs when the resources of the project-people, equipment, and supplies-are distribuited to other areas in the organiation or are assigned to other projects.
Integration
What involves combining software modules and testing them as a group? This may also involve testing programs or modules that need to interact with on another.
Integration Testing
Lessons Learned
Used to rank the importance of a problem based in its frequency of occurrence over time.
Pareto Diagram
Performance Testing
Keeps errors from occurring in the first place.
Prevention
What is performed after changes are made to the code, when software configurations are modified, or after maintenance activities are performed on the hardware the code resides on? This ensures that the software works the same way it did prior to the change or maintenance activity.
Regression Testing
Action that is taken to correct a defect that was discovered while performing quality control
Rework
Used to show variations in the process over time or to show trends in the process. (Does not show acceptable limits)
Run Charts
A high-level test designed to identify simple failures that could jeopardize the software program or prevent it from being released to production. These tests look at the most critical functions of the program and expose issues and problems early in the coding process.
Smoke Testing
When resources are cut off from the project or are no longer provided to the project, it’s starved prior to completing all the requirements, and you’re lefet with an unfinished project.
Starvation
If you have numerous work results that require inspection or testing, you may decide to use ___________________, where you gather a subset of all the applicable work results and randomly select a small number for testing or examination
Statistical Sampling
Involves testing software for dependability and stability under heavy load conditions, typically more than the sstem will ever experience in production.
Stress Testing
