This set of Software Project Management (SPM) Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Software Project Management Set 14

Q1 | For which of the following design factor of safety the design will work properly?
  • 0.1
  • 1
  • 2 d) 0.9
Answer: 2 d) 0.9
Explaination:
if the design factor of safety is not more than 1 then the design may not work and will fail under certain conditions.
Q2 | Design factor for most aircraft structures is 2.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the design factor of safety for most aircraft structures or components is taken to be 1.5 and not 2. more factors affect this value, but it is most of the time taken as 1.5.
Q3 | Identify the correct statement: “Software engineers shall
  • act in a manner that is in the best interests of his expertise and favour.”

  • all of the mentioned
Answer: act consistently with the public interest.”
Explaination:
software engineers shall act in a manner that is in the best interests of their client and employer consistent with the public
Q4 | Software Maintenance includes
  • error corrections
  • enhancements of capabilities
  • deletion of obsolete capabilities
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
none.
Q5 | The modification of the software to match changes in the ever changing environment, falls under which category of software maintenance?
  • corrective
  • adaptive
  • perfective
  • preventive
Answer: adaptive
Explaination:
none.
Q6 | How many phases are there in Taute Maintenance Model?
  • six
  • seven
  • eight
  • nine
Answer: eight
Explaination:
none.
Q7 | What type of software testing is generally used in Software Maintenance?
  • regression testing
  • system testing
  • integration testing
  • unit testing
Answer: regression testing
Explaination:
all other options are known as levels of software testing which further have types of software testing.
Q8 | Regression testing is a very expensive activity.
  • true
  • false
Answer: true
Explaination:
as regression testing is performed many times over the life of the software product, it becomes a costly affair.
Q9 | Selective retest techniques may be more economical than the “retest- all”technique.How many selective retest techniques are there?
  • two
  • three
  • four
  • five
Answer: three
Explaination:
the three categories include: coverage, minimization and safe techniques.
Q10 | Which selective retest technique selects every test case that causes a modified program to produce a different output than its original version?
  • coverage
  • minimization
  • safe
  • maximization
Answer: safe
Explaination:
safe techniques do not focus on coverage criteria, instead they select every test case that cause a modified program to produce different output than its original version.
Q11 |                              measures the ability of a regression test selection technique to handle realistic applications.
  • efficiency
  • precision
  • generality
  • inclusiveness
Answer: generality
Explaination:
generality measures the ability of a technique to handle realistic and diverse language constructs, arbitrarily complex modifications, and realistic testing applications.
Q12 | Which regression test selection technique exposes faults caused by modifications?
  • efficiency
  • precision
  • generality
  • inclusiveness
Answer: inclusiveness
Explaination:
inclusiveness measures the extent to which a technique chooses test cases that will cause the modified program to produce different output than the original program, and thereby expose faults caused by modifications.
Q13 | Why is Software architecture so important?
  • communication among stakeholders
  • early design decisions
  • transferable abstraction of a system
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
reasons of the architecture to be important are all the mentioned above.
Q14 | Why is software architecture called vehicle for stakeholder communication?
  • each stakeholder of a software system is concerned with different characteristics of the system affected by architecture
  • architecture provides a common language in which different concerns can be expressed
  • all of the mentioned
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: none of the mentioned
Explaination:
all of the mentioned are correct.
Q15 | Which lines depict that architecture defines constraints on an implementation?
  • an implementation exhibits an architecture if it conforms to the structural decisions described by the architecture
  • the implementation need not be divided into prescribed components
  • an implementation exhibits an architecture if it conforms to the structural decisions described by the architecture and the implementation must be divided into prescribed components
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: an implementation exhibits an architecture if it conforms to the structural decisions described by the architecture and the implementation must be divided into prescribed components
Explaination:
an implementation exhibits an architecture if it conforms to the structural decisions described by the architecture, the implementation must be divided into prescribed components.
Q16 | Why does architecture dictates organizational structure?
  • architecture describes the structure of the system being developed which becomes engraved in the development project structure
  • an implementation exhibits an architecture if it conforms to the structural decisions described by the architecture
  • architecture may not describe structure as whole
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: architecture describes the structure of the system being developed which becomes engraved in the development project structure
Explaination:
architecture describes the structure of the system being developed which becomes engraved in the development project structure.
Q17 | Which of the following is right dependence relationship?
  • performance depends on how strongly components are coupled with other components in system
  • re-usability depends on the volume and complexity of the inter-component communication and coordination
  • modifiability depends on system’s modularization
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: modifiability depends on system’s modularization
Explaination:
performance depends on the volume and complexity of the inter- component communication and coordination,
Q18 | Which of the following is correct for decisions made at life cycle level?
  • decisions at all level of like cycle from high level design to coding, implementation affect system quality
  • decisions at all level of like cycle from high level design to coding, implementation may or may not affect system quality
  • decisions at all level of like cycle from high level design to coding,implementation does not affect system quality
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: decisions at all level of like cycle from high level design to coding, implementation affect system quality
Explaination:
decisions at all level of like cycle from high level design to coding, implementation affect system quality.
Q19 | Is it possible to make quality predictions about a system based solely on evaluation of its architecture?
  • yes
  • no

  • none of the mentioned
Answer: yes
Explaination:
yes it is possible to make quality predictions about a system based solely on evaluation of its architecture.
