Understanding Software Quality Attributes

What aspect of software quality is concerned with the system resources consumed by the program, such as CPU cycles and memory space?

• Maintainability

• Efficiency/Performance

• Portability

• Usability

Which quality attribute refers to the ease with which a program can be modified by its present or future developer?

• Reliability

• Robustness

• Maintainability

• Portability

What does portability in software quality refer to?

• The accuracy and consistency of its outputs

• The range of computer hardware, operating systems, and platforms on which the source code can be run/compiled/interpreted

• The ease with which an end user can use the program

• The quality of coding and testing to ensure that extreme and erroneous data can be processed without causing the program to crash

Which quality attribute is concerned with the accuracy and consistency of a software application's outputs?

• Usability

• Reliability

• Efficiency/Performance

• Portability

What does robustness in software quality ensure?

• The program can be easily modified by developers

• The program can process extreme and erroneous data without crashing

• The program uses minimal system resources

• The program is easy for end users to operate

Which aspect of software quality is focused on the ease with which an end user can use the program?

• Usability

• Portability

• Maintainability

• Robustness

How does the design and implementation of a software application affect its efficiency/performance?

• By determining the range of platforms it can run on

• By influencing the system resources consumed, such as CPU cycles and memory space

• By ensuring the program can handle extreme data without crashing

• By making it easy for developers to modify the program

What is a key factor in ensuring the maintainability of a software application?

• The program's ability to run on multiple platforms

• The ease with which developers can modify the program for maintenance

• The program's ability to process erroneous data

• The program's accuracy and consistency of outputs

Why is portability an important quality attribute for software applications?

• It ensures the program is easy to use for end users

• It allows the program to be run on various hardware and operating systems

• It guarantees the program's outputs are accurate and consistent

• It ensures the program can handle extreme data without crashing

What is the primary concern of reliability in software applications?

• The program's ability to be modified easily by developers

• The program's accuracy and consistency of outputs

• The program's ability to run on different platforms

• The program's ease of use for end users
