Question No: 12    ( Marks: 1 )    - Please choose one

 If Configuration item identification is not identified, it is possible to control changes and establish records.

       ► True

       ► False

   

Question No: 13    ( Marks: 1 )    - Please choose one

 Availability and Reliability are concerned with

       ► Perceived quality

       ► Quantitatively measured quality

   

Question No: 14    ( Marks: 1 )    - Please choose one

 Software Availability can be calculated by the following equation:

       ► Availability = (MTTR/MTTF) x 100

       ► Availability = (MTBF/MTTR) x 100

       ► Availability = (MTTF/MTBF) x 100

       ► Availability = (MTBF/MTTF) x 100

Question No: 15    ( Marks: 1 )    - Please choose one

 Phase Index can be calculated by the help of the following formula, where

Ei – the total number of errors uncovered during the ith step in the SE process

Si – number of serious errors

Mi – number of moderate errors

Ti – number of minor errors

PSi – product size at the ith step

ws, wm, wt – weighting factors for serious, moderate, and minor errors

       ► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Ei) + wt(Ti/Ei)

       ► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/T)

       ► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/Ei)

       ► PIi = ws(Si/S) + wm(Mi/M) + wt(Ti/E)

   

Question No: 16    ( Marks: 1 )    - Please choose one

 The higher the Error Index, the higher will be the Defect Removal Efficiency

       ► True

       ► False
