Failure Costs
Retesting fall into which category of the Cost of Quality

The cost of quality can be reduced by
Producer and Customers
Most IT groups have two quality gaps. They are:
Correctness
The extent to which a program satisfies in specification and fulfills the users mission objectives
,Maintainability
The effort required to locate and fix an errors is a program is called
P-Cmm
Which is NOT a process improvement standard for software development or testing
Prevention costs
In a cost of quality analysis, the costs required to avoid errors to do the job right the first time
True
One of the strengths of the CMMI is the detailed testing process
Waterfall, Spiral, Incremental
Which of the following is/are SDLC models?
True
Agile works well in an environment where is hard to get solid requirements
Experience, Creativity, Things to learn while testing
In concept, Exploration Testing combines the tester's to develop better test cases.
SQA is an activity that establishes and evaluates the processes that produce products. The SQA
role is to observe that documented standards, processes, and procedures are followed. SQC
takes an active role with verification and validation. SQC's role is in verifying the output of this
process while SQA's role is to make the process followed correctly.
Your company is currently reorganizing, and you have decided it is a good time to clearly
delineate the QC and QA functions. Describe the activates of these two unique groups.
Money spent beyond the cost to build the product right the first time
Frequently referred to todays as of non Quality or Cost of Poor Performance
The Cost of Quality
Costs associated with preventing errors
- Training
- Establishing methods and procedures
- Tool Acquistions
Preventive Costs
, Costs associated with the detection of errors
- Inspections
- Testing
Appraisal Costs
Costs associated with defective products delivered to customers:
- Analyze, correct and retest defect
- Staffing Help Desk
- Damage caused by defect
- Idle users
Failure Costs
Build Cost
Which of the following is NOT a category of the cost of Quality?
a. Failure Costs
b. Appraisal Costs
c. Build Cost
d. Preventive Cost
Costs incurred to review completed products against requirements
In defining the cost of quality, appraisal costs are Best described as:
a. Cost incurred to review completed products against requirements
b. Costs which cannot be recouped
c. All costs associated with defective products
d. None of the above
1. Improve test team process to minimize process mistakes within the test process (Preventive)
2. Encourage and participate in early life cycle testing practices to discover defect as early in
development life cycle as possible (appraisal)
3. Fully document defects so the efforts to find and correct those identified defects is minimized
(Failure)
List three things that the test teams can do to help reduce the "cost of quality" (COA)
A quality factors represents the behavioral characteristics of the system
example: correctness, reliability, efficiency, testability, portability
What is one quality factor and what does it mean?
