Answer 4

Design

Question 5

Quality of ___________________ - is an issue focused primarily on implementation.

Answer 5

Conformance

Question 6

Discuss the Software Quality Dilemma and what is meant by software being “good enough”.

Answer 6

So people in industry try to get to that magical middle groundwhere the product is good enoughnot to be rejected right away, such as during evaluation, but also not the object of so much perfectionism and so much work that it would take too long or cost too much to complete.

Question 7

What is “Good Enough” Software ?

Answer 7

Good enough software delivers high quality functions and features that end-users desire, but at the same time it delivers other more obscure or specialized functions and features that contain known bugs.

Question 8

____ Software reviews are a “filter” for the software process. That is, reviews are applied at various points during software engineering and serve to uncover errors and defects that can then be removed.

Answer 8

True

Question 9

____ Software reviews will not “purify” software engineering work products, including requirements and design models, code, and testing data.

Answer 9

False

____ The Formal Technical Review is actually a class of reviews that includes walkthroughs and inspections.

Answer 10

True

Question 11

Two types of reviews

Answer 11

Formal technical and informal

Question 13

___ A software quality assurance mechanism

Answer 13

Typical

Question 14

___ A technical assessment of a work meeting conducted by technical people for technical people

Answer 14

Question 15

___ A meeting intended solely to impart information

Answer 15

Not Typical

Question 16

____ A meeting conducted by technical people for technical people

Answer 16

Typical

Question 17

__ A project summary or progress assessment

Answer 17

Not Typical

Question 18

What is the difference between and error and a defect in software? (Define each)

Answer 18

Error—a quality problem found before the software is released to end users
Defect—a quality problem found only after the software has been released to end-users

Question 19

What are the 3 Review Meeting Results

Answer 19

Accept the product
Reject the product
Accept the product provisionally

Question 20

number 25 look at chart in chapter 20.

Answer 20

top is no effort bottom is effort.

Question 21

Parts of a informal review:

Answer 21

1. a simple desk check of a software engineering work product with a colleague
2. a casual meeting (involving more than 2 people) for the purpose of reviewing a work product
3. the review-oriented aspects of pair programming

Question 22

Parts of a formal technical review:

Answer 22

1. to uncover errors in function, logic, or implementation for any representation of the software
2. to verify that the software under review meets its requirements
3. to ensure that the software has been represented according to predefined standards
4. to achieve software that is developed in a uniform manner
5. to make projects more manageable

Question 23

____ Software Quality Assurance (often called quality management) is an umbrella activity that is applied throughout the software process

Answer 23

True

Question 24

___ Software safety is a software quality assurance activity that focuses on the identification and assessment of potential hazards that may affect software negatively and cause an entire system to fail.

Answer 24

True

Question 25

____ Testing is the process of exercising a program with the specific intent of finding errors prior to delivery to the end use

Answer 25

True

Question 26

____ Object oriented testing begins by evaluating the correctness and consistency of the analysis and design models.

Answer 26

True

Question 27

___ Class testing is equivalent to unit testing for conventional software.

Answer 27

True

Question 28

Verification

Answer 28

refers to the set of tasks that ensure that software correctly implements a specific function. -----"Are we building the product right?"

Question 29

Validation

Answer 29

refers to a different set of tasks that ensure that the software that has been built is traceable to customer requirements. -----"Are we building the right product?"

Question 30

Who are the two testers of software?

Answer 30

1. Developer | 2. Independent tester

Question 31

Testing in the context of Software Engineering is a series of four steps. What are the 4 steps

Answer 31

1. Unit testing 2. Integration testing 3. Validation testing 4. Systems testing

Question 32

Top Down Integration –Depth-first integration

Answer 32

as new modules are integrated, some subset of tests is re-run

Question 33

Regression Testing

Answer 33

Regression testing is the re-execution of some subset of tests that have already been conducted to ensure that changes have not propagated unintended side effects

Question 34

In Smoke Testing, a build is:

Answer 34

includes all data files, libraries, reusable modules, and engineered components that are required to implement one or more product functions.

Question 35

In Smoke Testing, a build:

Answer 35

includes all data files, libraries, reusable modules, and engineered components that are required to implement one or more product functions.

Question 36

Object-Oriented Testing

Answer 36

Encapsulation drives definition of classes and objects

Question 37

Module interface

Answer 37

Test data flow first

Question 38

Boundary conditions

Answer 38

Test cases that exercise data structure, control flow, and data values just below, at, and just above maxima and minima are very likely to uncover errors.

Question 39

Error-handling paths

Answer 39

Make sure error messages are correct and accurately represent or describe error.
