When to fix bugs - ✔✔-If bugs are found late in the process it is likely that you will have to undo work to
address them. Therefore, it is less costly to find and fix bugs earlier rather than later.
As early as possible in the cycle - ✔✔-When is the appropriate time to include the people responsible for
quality in the development cycle?
Clearly defined goals for every milestone - ✔✔-What key best practice brings the development process
together in order to meet the deliverable deadline?
True - ✔✔-Process improvement helps software development build and retain product and service
quality.
Measurable business result - ✔✔-What can be achieved with a process improvement initiative based on
the CMMI?
False - ✔✔-Studies have shown that defects found and fixed in the requirements phase carry the highest
cost.
Peer review - ✔✔-A walk-through is an informal review of code examined by a group of peers with the
purpose of finding defects.
Complete testing is not possible - ✔✔-It is impossible to identify and document every scenario for every
situation; there will always be something else that can be tested in a program. For this reason, testing is
never complete and there will always be defects left to be found.
, System Validation - ✔✔-System validation is the last piece needed to bring a product together. The
validation will measure customer satisfaction based on customer needs.
Acceptance Testing - ✔✔-Acceptance testing confirms that a product or product component is ready for
operational use. The primary quality factors addressed in this test are usability and reliability. The
acceptance test aims to answer this question: Will the product or product component support
operational use?
Benefit of building a discrete list of defects and ranking them in order of importance - ✔✔-Giving the
team the opportunity to voice their concerns and advocate for their own priorities. When everyone has
the opportunity to voice their concerns, everyone ultimately ends up on the same page.
Matrix - ✔✔-What is a visual definition of how you will prioritize bugs as they are discovered? A matrix
of impacts versus severity. The impact on the user is key in determining the priority of a bug.
True - ✔✔-A bug base is a system for keeping track of every bug logged in a database system. There are
many systems that can track bugs, but they all share the ability to capture bug details and historic
information.
Test case management system - ✔✔-A system dedicated to managing test cases will allow for all results
to be incorporated together and provides a single location for storing that information.
Bug Model - ✔✔-A bug model tries to predict how many bugs should be tracked at any given time. This
predictive model will give you an idea as to where you should be versus where you actually are at
various milestones.
Screenshot - ✔✔-A screenshot is the only visual representation of a problem and should always be
included, if possible.
Solid IT-QA - ✔✔-It will help deliver compliant business-enabling systems. In the end, developing a
product that meets the user requirements is the goal. This can be achieved when IT and QA work
together.
