This set of Software Project Management (SPM) Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Software Project Management Set 8

Q1 | Lower and upper limits are present in which chart?
  • run chart
  • bar chart
  • control chart
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: run chart
Explaination:
a run chart is used to monitor the behavior of a variable over time for a process or system. run charts graphically display cycles, trends, shifts, or non-random patterns in behavior over time. it contains lower and upper limits.
Q2 | Maintenance testing is performed using which methodology?
  • retesting
  • sanity testing
  • breadth test and depth test
  • confirmation testing
Answer: breadth test and depth test
Explaination:
maintenance testing is done on the already deployed software. the deployed software needs to be enhanced, changed or migrated to other hardware. the testing done during this enhancement, change and migration cycle is known as maintenance testing.
Q3 | White Box techniques are also classified as
  • design based testing
  • structural testing
  • error guessing technique
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: structural testing
Explaination:
the structural testing is the testing of the structure of the system or component. structural testing is often referred to as ‘white box’ or ‘glass box’ or ‘clear-box testing’ because in structural testing we are interested in what is happening ‘inside the system/application’.
Q4 | Exhaustive testing is
  • always possible
  • practically possible
  • impractical but possible
  • impractical and impossible
Answer: impractical but possible
Explaination:
exhaustive testing is the testing where we execute single test case for multiple test data.it means if we are using single test case for different product or module under manual testing.
Q5 | Which of the following is/are White box technique?
  • statement testing
  • decision testing
  • condition coverage
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
statement testing, decision testing, condition coverage all of them uses white box technique.
Q6 | What are the various Testing Levels?
  • unit testing
  • system testing
  • integration testing
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
unit, system, integration testing all of them are levels in testing.
Q7 | Boundary value analysis belong to?
  • white box testing
  • black box testing
  • white box & black box testing
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: black box testing
Explaination:
boundary value analysis is based on testing at the boundaries between partitions and checks the output with expected output.
Q8 | Alpha testing is done at
  • developer’s end
  • user’s end
  • developer’s & user’s end
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: developer’s end
Explaination:
alpha testing takes place at the developer’s end. developers observe the users and note problems. alpha testing is testing of an application when development is about to complete. minor design changes can still be made as a result of alpha testing.
Q9 | What is the main purpose of hazard identification?
  • to minimise the effect of a consequence
  • for better risk management
  • to characterize adverse effect of toxins
  • to reduce probability of occurrence
Answer: to characterize adverse effect of toxins
Explaination:
hazard identification is the first step in risk assessment. the goal is to understand the concentration of toxins, spatial distribution and there movement.
Q10 | The                          process determines whether exposure to a chemical can increase the incidence of adverse health effect.
  • hazard identification
  • exposure assessment
  • toxicity assessment
  • risk characterization
Answer: hazard identification
Explaination:
hazard identification traces the path of the toxins and also determines the likelihood of occurrence in humans.
Q11 | Which of the following data is not required for hazard identification?
  • land use
  • contaminant levels
  • affected population
  • estimation of risk
Answer: estimation of risk
Explaination:
estimation of risk is done at risk characterization whereas land use, contaminant level, affected population and biota data play a major role while identifying a hazard.
Q12 | Hazard is defined as the probability of suffering harm or loss.
  • true
  • false
  • topic 3.10 risk identification
  • topic 3.9 critical path (crm) method
Answer: false
Explaination:
risk is the probability of suffering harm whereas hazard is a potential source of harm.
Q13 | Why does site history have to be considered for hazard identification?
  • to estimate the risk
  • to calculate carcinogenic exposure
  • to know the probable source and causes of contamination on site
  • for determination of remedial actions
Answer: to know the probable source and causes of contamination on site
Explaination:
site history provides precise information about the activities that had been carried on the area. most of the instance contamination is due to past activities on site.
Q14 | What is the main objective of risk assessment?
  • to evaluate hazard and minimize the risks
  • remediation of contaminated sites
  • hazard management
  • to know source of pollutants
Answer: to evaluate hazard and minimize the risks
Explaination:
risk assessment helps to understand possible problems and provides alternatives as well as control measures to reduce the accident.
Q15 | What is the first stage of risk assessment?
  • exposure assessment
  • hazard identification
  • toxicity study
  • risk characterization
Answer: hazard identification
Explaination:
hazard identification is the first stage of risk assessment. it provides clear understanding about chemical contaminants, their concentration and distribution in environment.
Q16 | The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur so that risk-handling activities may be planned.
  • false
  • true
Answer: true
Explaination:
the main goal of risk management is to reduce the threats from an activity so that harm to the surrounding is minimized.
Q17 | Hazard identification mainly focus on
  • chemical source and concentration
  • chemical exposure
  • chemical analysis
  • chemical pathway
Answer: chemical source and concentration
Explaination:
the main aim of hazard identification is to identify chemical source, concentration and its movement in environment.
Q18 | Hazard is defined as the probability of suffering harm or loss.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
risk is the probability of suffering harm whereas hazard is a potential source of harm.
Q19 | An incident can be called hazardous only when?
  • stressor has the potential to cause harm to humans and ecological systems
  • poses threat to surrounding
  • monitoring is failed
  • outburst of chemicals
Answer: stressor has the potential to cause harm to humans and ecological systems
Explaination:
an incident is called hazardous only when the contaminant poses threat to humans and ecological systems which may results in catastrophic.
Q20 | Which of the following is not a phase of project management?
  • project planning
  • project scheduling
