This set of Software Project Management (SPM) Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Software Project Management Set 2

Q1 | The reason for software bugs and failures is due to
  • software companies
  • software developers
  • both software companies and developers
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: both software companies and developers
Explaination:
software companies are responsible for making policies and providing working atmosphere for the software development, so in turn these companies become a part of software development process.bugs from developers side is no new thing. thus option c answers the question.
Q2 | Company has latest computers and state- of the- art software tools, so we shouldn’t worry about the quality of the product.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the infrastructure is only one of the several factors that determine the quality of the product.
Q3 | Which of these are not among the eight principles followed by Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice ?
  • public
  • profession
  • product
  • environment
Answer: environment
Explaination:
rest all are clauses for software ethics, environment does not focus on specific clause nor its of importace related to question.
Q4 | Which of these does not account for software failure ?
  • increasing demand
  • low expectation
  • increasing supply
  • less reliable and expensive
Answer: increasing supply
Explaination:
increasing supply will lead to more production and not failure.
Q5 | What are attributes of good software ?
  • software maintainability
  • software functionality
  • software development
  • software maintainability & functionality
Answer: software maintainability & functionality
Explaination:
good software should deliver the required functinality, maintainability.
Q6 | Which of these is true ?
  • generic products and customized products are types of software products
  • generic products are produced by organization and sold to open market
  • customized products are commissioned by particular customer
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
all of them are true.
Q7 | Which of these does not affect different types of software as a whole?
  • heterogeneity
  • flexibility
  • business and social change
  • security
Answer: flexibility
Explaination:
option b & c are a part of software engineering as a subject,hence option a covers them both.
Q8 | The fundamental notions of software engineering does not account for ?
  • software processes
  • software security
  • software reuse
  • software validation
Answer: software validation
Explaination:
software validation is an activity for software process and not the fundamental for engineering.
Q9 | Which one of the following is not a software process quality?
  • productivity
  • portability
  • timeliness
  • visibility
Answer: portability
Explaination:
portability is a software product quality which means software can run on different hardware platforms or software environments.
Q10 |                           &                           are two kinds of software products.
  • cad, cam
  • firmware, embedded
  • generic, customised
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: generic, customised
Explaination:
rest all are sub categories/applications of option c.
Q11 | Software costs more to maintain than it does to develop.
  • true
  • false
Answer: true
Explaination:
for systems with a long life, maintenance costs may be several times development costs.
Q12 | Which one of the following is not an application of embedded software product?
  • keypad control of a security system
  • pattern recognition game playing
  • digital function of dashboard display in a car
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: pattern recognition game playing
Explaination:
pattern recognition uses artificial intelligence (ai) software.
Q13 | Purpose of process is to deliver software
  • in time
  • with acceptable quality
  • that is cost efficient
  • both in time & with acceptable quality
Answer: both in time & with acceptable quality
Explaination:
cost of a software is a management issue & is not related to process activities.
Q14 | Which of the following activities of a Generic Process framework provides a feedback report?
  • communication
  • planning
  • modeling & construction
  • deployment
Answer: deployment
Explaination:
in deployment the product is delivered to the customer who evaluates the product and provides feedback based on the evaluation.
Q15 | Process adopted for one project is same as the process adopted from another project.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the overall flow of activities, actions,tasks,the level of autonomy given to the software team and the inter dependencies among two process can never be the same.
Q16 | Which one of the following is not an Umbrella Activity that complements the five process framework activities and help team manage and control progress, quality, change, and risk.
  • reusability management
  • risk management
  • measurement
  • user reviews
Answer: user reviews
Explaination:
none.
Q17 | Four types of change are encountered during the support phase.Which one of the following is not one that falls into such category?
  • translation
  • correction
  • adaptation
  • prevention
Answer: translation
Explaination:
translation is done in the development phase.
Q18 | SCM stands for
  • software control management
  • software configuration management
  • software concept management
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: software configuration management
Explaination:
in software engineering, software configuration management (scm) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software, part of the larger cross- discipline field of configuration management.
Q19 | When code is made available to others, it goes in a/an
  • hard drive
  • access-controlled library
  • servers
  • access control
Answer: access-controlled library
Explaination:
none.
Q20 | Which of the following is not a main phase in Configuration Management (CM) Process?
  • cm planning
  • executing the cm process
  • cm audits
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: none of the mentioned
Explaination:
all are main phases of cm.
Q21 | CM is about managing the different items in the product, and changes in them.
  • true
  • false
  • topic 1.6 management control
Answer: true
Explaination:
none.
Q22 | What allows different projects to use the same source files at the same time?
  • version control
  • access control
  • cm process
  • version control and access control
Answer: version control
Explaination:
it allows software engineers to continue development along a branch even when a line of development is frozen.
