CISA Questions (301 - 400) Questions
& 100% Correct Answers
To minimize the cost of a software project, quality management techniques
should be applied:
Select an answer:
A.
as close to their writing (i.e., point of origination) as possible.
B.
primarily at project start to ensure that the project is established in accordance
with organizational governance standards.
C.
continuously throughout the project with an emphasis on finding and fixing defects
primarily through testing to maximize the defect detection rate.
D.
mainly at project close-down to capture lessons learned that can be applied to
future projects.

✓ :~~ You are correct, the answer is C.
A. Quality assurance (QA) should start as early as possible but continue through the
entire development process.
B. Only performing QA during the start of the project will not detect problems that
appear later in the development cycle.
C. While it is important to properly establish a software development project,
quality management should be effectively practiced throughout the project. The
major source of unexpected costs on most software projects is rework. The general
rule is that the earlier in the development life cycle that a defect occurs, and the
longer it takes to find and fix that defect, the more effort will be needed to
correct it. A well-written quality management plan is a good start, but it must also
be actively applied. Simply relying on testing to identify defects is a relatively
costly and less effective way of achieving software quality. For example, an error
in requirements discovered in the testing phase can result in scrapping significant
amounts of work.
D. Capturing lessons learned will be too late for the current project. Additionally,
applying quality management techniques throughout a project is likely to yield its
own insights into the causes of quality problems and assist in staff development.

When identifying an earlier project completion time, which is to be obtained by
paying a premium for early completion, the activities that should be selected are
those:
Select an answer:
A.
whose sum of activity time is the shortest.
B.
that have zero slack time.
C.
that give the longest possible completion time.
D.
whose sum of slack time is the shortest.
✓ :~~ You answered D. The correct answer is B.
A. Attention should focus on the tasks within the critical path that have no slack
time.

B. A critical path's activity time is longer than that for any other path through the
network. This path is important because if everything goes as scheduled, its length
gives the shortest possible completion time for the overall project. Activities on
the critical path become candidates for crashing (i.e., for reduction in their time
by payment of a premium for early completion). Activities on the critical path
have zero slack time and conversely, activities with zero slack time are on a
critical path. By successively relaxing activities on a critical path, a curve showing
total project costs versus time can be obtained.
C. The critical path is the longest time length of the activities, but is not based on
the longest time of any individual activity.
D. A task on the critical path has no slack time.
Which of the following should an IS auditor review to understand project progress
in terms of time, budget and deliverables for early detection of possible overruns
and for projecting estimates at completion (EACs)?
Select an answer:
A.
Function point analysis (FPA)
