ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 90
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 90 of 100
The requirement that a process finish within a specified time is real-time ability. In an embedded system, correctness may depend not only on the output value but also on producing it before a deadline so the controlled device can respond safely.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- availability is the ability to use the system when needed
- reliability is continued correct operation over time
- serviceability is the ease and speed of maintenance or repair
Key rule: A real-time system guarantees timing constraints; a fast average response without deadline assurance is not sufficient.
