Question 1

Usability can be measured in terms of:
A)intellectual skill to learn the system
B)time required to become moderately efficient in system usage
C)net increase in productivity
D)all of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

Usability encompasses various factors including how easy it is to learn to use the system (intellectual skill), how quickly someone can become proficient (time required), and the overall impact on productivity. Therefore, all the mentioned options are correct measures of usability.

Question 2

------------cohesive gives the best software where as -------------coupling gives the best software.
A)loosely, loosely
B)loosely, highly
C)highly, loosely
D)highly, highly

Accepted Answer

High cohesion within modules and loose coupling between modules are widely recognized principles for creating well-structured, maintainable software. High cohesion means a module has a well-defined purpose, while loose coupling indicates that modules interact with each other as little as possible, making the system easier to understand and modify.

Question 3

The CMM model is a technique to
A)automatically maintain the software reliability
B)improve the software process.
C)test the software
D)all of the mentioned

Accepted Answer

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a development model created after a study of data collected from organizations that contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense, who funded the research. The model is designed to help organizations improve their software processes. It provides a structured framework for developing quality software and improving the capability of a company's software processes in terms of productivity, performance, cost, and customer satisfaction.
