Questions and CORRECT Answers
Chapter 2 -
The differences between a Software Product & Industrial Product? - High complexity
Invisibility of the product
Opportunities/stages to detect defects
High complexity: - The potential ways in which a software product can be used with different
data / data paths reflecting different incoming data is almost infinite
Manner in which industrial products can be used are usually well-defined
Think about software: every loop with different values of data reflects a different opportunity to
see software fail
Invisibility of the product: - -In an industrial product, missing parts are obvious.
•Something missing? Easily identified.
-Not so in software products.
•May not be noticeable for years - if at all!
•INTEL: Almost every computer with an Intel chip dating back to 2011
-allowed hackers to effectively exploit design flaws
Opportunities/stages to detect defects: - Product Development
Product Planning
Product Manufacturing
, Product Development (Industrial vs Software) - -Industrial: test product, voltages, performance,
strength, size ....ready to distribute to markets
-Computer Software: once prototype and system testing are concluded, product is ready for
deployment
Product Production Planning (Industrial vs Software) - Industrial: Often needs new tooling
approaches, assembly lines, new manufacturing processes.
•Results in additional 'looks' at products
•One could say that there is a better chance to discover defects
Computer Software: No real additional 'look-see'
•Packages shrink-wrapped, printed, distributed to public
•No real chance to discover additional defects.
Product Manufacturing (Industrial vs Software) - -Industrial:
•Usually defects uncovered here
•Easily fixed
-Computer Software:
•We merely copyright, print copies of software and manuals
•No real chance for additional quality reviews
•No real chance for discovering additional defects
When is the best time to detect defects? - Software Development Process itself
These characteristics of software - complexity, invisibility, and limited opportunity to detect bugs
has led to the development of: - ISO Guidelines and an awareness of real SQA methodology
The characteristics of the SQA environment process: - Being Contracted
Subjection to customer-supplier relationship
