Back to Status page contains 5 Questions 1) Which of the following is a FALSE statement about the interpretation of software measurements? [19.101.3.1 Recognize the impacts to the software development plan (e.g., trends) when interpreting software measures.] Measurements typically give exact answers without the need for any further analysis. The Software Schedule measurement is one example of a leading software indicator; as such it can be used to help predict a potential future problem. Multiple software measures are generally better than relying on a single measure. Several different interpretations of a given measurement are frequently possible, so further probing of the situation is required to get to the core issue. 2) When a software measure reveals a wide gap between planned results and actual accomplishments and this is discovered late in the project schedule, why does adding more programming and staffing resources usually result in diminished return?

Evaluate Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) for code complexity. Analyze the technical performance maturity of a software developer as measured across several projects. Test, evaluate, and measure the performance of a completed system. 4) Which of the following is TRUE about the role of enterprise-level measurement regarding Information Technology (IT) investments? [19.101.3.4 Recall characteristics of enterprise-level measurement.] Enterprise level measures help to determine the nature and value of the system to be built, as well as whether the system should be built at all. IT enterprise-level measurements include, as a core element, highly technical software design and quality coding indicators. Enterprise-level performance measures are useful for measuring quality, but provide very little help in identifying cost or budget issues. Among its provisions, the Title 40, Subtitle III, Clinger-Cohen Act removes previous legal requirements for Federal agencies to focus on the results they are achieving through their IT investments. 5) The requires agencies to define cost, schedule and performance goals for acquisition programs and to monitor goals to ensure they remain within prescribed tolerances.
