Note:
1.
Wherever information is insufficient,

All parts of a question should be answered
consecutively, answer for each main question should start from a fresh page
3. Do NOT use long paragraphs for your
answers; use short paragraphs (not more than 2 – 3 sentences each) or simple

system, validation (b) System, validation, integration, unit
(c) Unit, integration,
validation, system (d) None of the
mentioned
(c)
The
responsibility for maintaining Quality in a Project lies with organization’s
Quality manager (T/F)
(d)
Which is not a size metric for effort
estimation?
(a) LOC (b) Function Points (c)
Cyclomatic complexity (d) Component count
(e)
An
Internal Quality Audit is a management process to identify all defective
products (T/F)
(f)
Quality & Productivity metrics help in
Project Manager’s performance appraisal (T/F)
(g)
In a spiral model ‘risk analysis’ is
performed: (a) In first loop (b) In
first and second loop (c) In every loop (d)
At the end of the last loop
(h)

testing from the following:
(a)
Usability Testing (b) Feature
Testing (c) Design walkthrough (d) Integration Testing
(j)
Formal
methods of SQE are not applicable to the development of system software (T/F)
Q.2.
For a full
life-cycle development project using V-Process model, list various SQA
activities at each phase and their impact on the final deliverable. Classify
these activities into QA and QC. What are the various metrics used to track the
performance of these QC/QA activities. [5 + 2 + 3 = 10]
Q.3.
The following table lists costs
incurred for various activities in a project. (a) Identify SQA activities and
classify these into the three cost-categories:
Prevention, Quality assessment, and Failure and (b) Compute the cost of quality (as % of total
development cost) and what measures you would adopt for reducing cost of
quality? [5 + 5 = 10]
