Software Development and Management Questions
-
Water falls model
-
Spiral Model
-
V-model
-
Linear model
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The V-model is a software development lifecycle model where validation and verification phases map directly to corresponding development phases. Under this model, testing activities (such as designing test cases) begin concurrently with early development stages like requirements analysis, unlike sequential models like the waterfall or linear models.

Drill Up
-
Drill Through
-
Drill Back
-
Drill Down
A,B,D
Correct answer
Explanation
Report Studio supports interactive analysis features: Drill Up (navigate to higher-level data), Drill Through (link to related reports), and Drill Down (access detailed data). 'Drill Back' is not a standard navigation feature in Report Studio.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The statement claims that Engineer dependency is a task term defining resource relationships between tasks. The answer is False. While dependencies are indeed a task management concept, the specific term used in Click Schedule and similar systems is typically simply dependency or task dependency, not engineer dependency. The engineer/technician is the resource, but the dependency relationship itself is not called engineer dependency.
-
helps an organization to decide how the Quality function is deployed
-
is testing of previously verified program of application
-
is another approach to implementing balance score card method
-
is a systematic method to translate customer wants or needs into product or service
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured methodology that translates customer needs (Voice of Customer) into technical product requirements. It uses matrices like the House of Quality to prioritize features and ensure the final product aligns with customer expectations.
-
Defect Prevention
-
Defect discovery/defect naming
-
Defect resolution
-
All of the above
-
None
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A comprehensive defect management process integrates prevention (proactive measures to avoid defects), discovery (systematic identification and classification), and resolution (structured fixing and verification). All three elements are essential and interdependent.
-
An attribute to be possessed by the product/function to be performed by the product
-
The performance standard for the attribute or a function
-
The measuring process to be used in verifying that the standard has been met
-
All the above
-
None
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A complete requirement specifies three elements: what the product must do (function/attribute), how well it must perform (performance standard), and how conformance will be verified (measurement process). These together ensure requirements are testable and unambiguous.
-
Total Quality Management
-
Problem Analysis
-
Regression Testing
-
Continuous Process Improvement
-
Tracing requirements
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a methodology for translating customer requirements (voice of customer) into specific technical requirements throughout the development process, creating traceability from needs to design. While QFD is used in TQM, its distinctive characteristic is the systematic tracing of requirements.

Development -->Integration ? Prelife ? Production
-
Development ? Production -->Integration ? Prelife
-
Development ? Prelife -->Integration ? Production
-
Development -->Integration ? Production ? Prelife
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Development → Integration → Prelife → Production is the standard deployment order. Code moves from development through integration testing, to pre-production (prelife) for final validation, and finally to production.
-
Analyze, Design and Program
-
Analysis, Design and Programming
-
Analyze, Design and Programming
-
Analysis, Design and Program
B
Correct answer
Explanation
ADP commonly stands for Automated Data Processing in computing contexts. Option B uses grammatically correct noun forms (Analysis, Programming) and maintains parallel structure, though this isn't the standard technical expansion.
-
Document Automation Tool
-
Software tool for Communication
-
Single platform for design of document across the enterprise.
-
First Enterprise document automation software to combine customer relationship with mission-critical document production and multi-channel output from a single design
A,C
Correct answer
Explanation
HP Exstream (now OpenText Exstream) is a document automation tool used for enterprise document creation across multiple channels. Option A correctly identifies it as a Document Automation Tool. Option C correctly describes it as a single platform for designing documents across an enterprise. Option B is too vague ('Software tool for Communication' could describe many tools). Option D is partially correct but not the primary definition - it does combine these elements but this description is less accurate than A and C.
-
DS SCM team
-
DS Implementation Management team
-
Distributed Transaction Services team
-
Midrange team
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This question tests organizational knowledge about deployment responsibilities. The Distributed Transaction Services team is responsible for deploying JAR files to production, indicating their ownership of transaction service deployments.
-
Design based
-
Big-bang
-
Bottom-up
-
Top-down
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Standard integration testing strategies include Big-bang (all components at once), Top-down (from highest level down), and Bottom-up (from lowest level up). Design based is not a recognized integration strategy - it describes a design approach rather than an integration testing strategy.
-
Project Preparation > Business Blue Print > User Acceptance > Go Live
-
Project Preparation > Realization > Business Blue Print > Go Live
-
Project Preparation > Business Blue print > Realization > Final Preparation > Go live and support
-
Project Preparation > Business Blue print > Realization > Final Preparation > Data Migration > Go live and support
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The Accelerated SAP (ASAP) methodology is structured into five sequential phases to ensure efficient ERP implementation: Project Preparation, Business Blueprint, Realization, Final Preparation, and Go-Live and Support. This standard lifecycle guides the planning, configuration, testing, and deployment of SAP systems.
