This set of Software Project Management (SPM) Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Software Project Management Set 12

Q1 | Which of the following is not a Software Configuration Management Activity?
  • configuration item identification
  • risk management
  • release management
  • branch management
Answer: risk management
Explaination:
risk management is an entirely different domain.
Q2 | The definition and use of configuration management standards is essential for quality certification in
  • iso 9000
  • cmm
  • cmmi
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
it is defined in all the mentioned options.
Q3 | What involves preparing software for external release and keeping track of the system versions that have been released for customer use?
  • system building
  • release management
  • change management
  • version management
Answer: release management
Explaination:
none.
Q4 | Which of the following process ensures that versions of systems and components are recorded and maintained?
  • codeline
  • configuration control
  • version
  • workspace
Answer: configuration control
Explaination:
in configuration control changes are managed and all versions of components are identified and stored for the lifetime.
Q5 | Which of the following process is concerned with analyzing the costs and benefits of proposed changes?
  • change management
  • version management
  • system building
  • release management
Answer: change management
Explaination:
it involves approving those changes that are worthwhile, and tracking
Q6 | Which of the following is not a Version management feature?
  • version and release identification
  • build script generation
  • project support
  • change history recording
Answer: build script generation
Explaination:
all other options are a part of version management.
Q7 | Which method recommends that very frequent system builds should be carried out with automated testing to discover software problems?
  • agile method
  • parallel compilation method
  • large systems method
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: agile method
Explaination:
in keeping with the agile methods notion of making many small changes, continuous integration involves rebuilding the mainline frequently, after small source code changes have been made.
Q8 | Which of the following is not a build system feature?
  • minimal recompilation
  • documentation generation
  • storage management
  • reporting
Answer: storage management
Explaination:
to reduce the storage space required by multiple versions of components that differ only slightly, version management systems usually provide storage management facilities.
Q9 | Which of the following is a configuration item?
  • design & test specification
  • source code
  • log information
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
a configuration item is an approved and accepted deliverable, changes have to be made through formal procedure.
Q10 | Which of the following is a part of system release?
  • electronic and paper documentation describing the system
  • packaging and associated publicity that have been designed for that release
  • an installation program that is used to help install the system on target hardware
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
release creation is the process of creating the collection of files and documentation that includes all of the components of the system release.
Q11 | A sequence of baselines representing different versions of a system is known as
  • system building
  • mainline
  • software configuration item(sci)
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: mainline
Explaination:
none.
Q12 | “Robustness” answers which of the following description?
  • case tools be used to support the process activities
  • process errors are avoided or trapped before they result in product errors
  • defined process is acceptable and usable by the engineers responsible for producing the software
  • process continues in spite of unexpected problems
Answer: process continues in spite of unexpected problems
Explaination:
none.
Q13 | Process improvement is the set of activities, methods, and transformations that developers use to develop and maintain information systems.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the definition is of a system development process.
Q14 | How many stages are there in process improvement?
  • three
  • four
  • five
  • six
Answer: three
Explaination:
process measurement, analysis and change are the three stages.
Q15 | In which stage of process improvement bottlenecks and weaknesses are identified?
  • process measurement
  • process analysis
  • process change
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: process analysis
Explaination:
in process analysis the current process is assessed and bottlenecks and weaknesses are identified.
Q16 | Prototypes and 4GL business systems are categorized under which process?
  • informal
  • managed
  • methodical
  • supported
Answer: informal
Explaination:
here the development team chose their own way of working.
Q17 | The documentation of a process which records the tasks, the roles and the entities used is called
  • process metric
  • process analysis
  • process modelling
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: process modelling
Explaination:
process models may be presented from different perspectives.
Q18 | It is always best to start process analysis with a new test model.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
it is always best to start process analysis with an existing model. people then may extend and change this.
Q19 | What is a tangible output of an activity that is predicted in a project plan?
  • deliverable
  • activity
  • condition
  • process
Answer: deliverable
Explaination:
none.
Q20 | What is often undefined and is left to the ingenuity of the project managers and engineers?
  • role
  • exception
  • activity
  • process
Answer: exception
Explaination:
exceptions are often undefined and it is left to the ingenuity of the project managers and engineers to handle the exception.
Q21 | Which of the following is not a part of process change?
  • introducing new practices, methods or processes
  • introducing new team members to existing project
  • introducing or removing deliverable
  • introducing new roles or responsibilities
Answer: introducing new team members to existing project
Explaination:
adding more developers aid to process completion rather than changing it.
Q22 | The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a continuous model.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the cmm is discrete rather than continuous.
Q23 | The CMMI assessment is based on a x- point scale. What is the value of x?
  • 0
  • 2
  • 4
  • 6
Answer: 6
Explaination:
not performed, performed, managed, defined, quantitatively managed, and optimizing are the six points.
Q24 | CM is about managing the different items in the product, and changes in them.
  • true
  • false
Answer: true
Explaination:
none.
Q25 | Which is a software configuration management concept that helps us to control change without seriously impeding justifiable change?
  • baselines
  • source code
  • data model
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: baselines
Explaination:
a baseline is analogous to the kitchen doors in the restaurant. before a software configuration item becomes a baseline, change may be made quickly and informally.
