ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 53
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 53 of 100
The number of identified bugs is a metric related to program quality. Defect counts, often normalized by program size or development phase, provide evidence about correctness and the effectiveness of reviews and testing.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- the planned budget measures cost
- return on investment measures financial benefit
- the delivery date measures schedule performance
- these are important project indicators but do not directly evaluate program quality
Key rule: Product-quality metrics describe defects, reliability, maintainability, performance, or test results rather than cost and schedule.
