c) It shows the phases of the model over time
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: None.
5. The only deliverable work product for a successful project is the working program.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b

d) Software evolution
Answer: a
Clarification: Software Verification is accounted for in implementation & testing activity.
8. A general statement of objectives is the major cause of failed software efforts.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: A formal and detailed description of the information domain, function, behavior, performance, interfaces, design constraints and validation criteria is essential which can be determined only after thorough communication between customer and developer.
9. The longer a fault exists in software
a) the more tedious its removal becomes
b) the more costly it is to detect and correct
