UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
What is Quality? - CORRECT ANSWER - Customer Satisfaction
What is Software Quality to a consumer? - CORRECT ANSWER - Customer Satisfaction
- satisfied they are the software
What is Software Quality to QA? - CORRECT ANSWER - How close the software is to
its requirements
What's is Software Quality Assurance? - CORRECT ANSWER - The process of
monitoring and improving all activities associated with software development - requirement
gathering, design, coding, testing, implementation
What is the difference between Software Testing and Software QA? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Software testing is mainly at 'error detection' process. Software QA is
preventative, aimed to ensure quality in the methods and processes
What is Software Testing? - CORRECT ANSWER - Is the process of analyzing the
software to detect differences between the existing and required conditions.
What are the three main purposes of Software Testing - CORRECT ANSWER -
Verification - checking for conformance and consistency (Are we building the system right?)
