The correct answers are: needs, experience, capabilitiesThree aspects of the system users that UI
design must take into account. (select 3 answers)
SecurityThe ability of the system to protect itself against accidental or deliberate intrusion.
ISO 9000International set of standards for quality management.
Quality controlEnsure that procedures and standards are followed by the software development
team
ReliabilityThe probability of failure-free system operation over a specified time in a given
environment for a given purpose.
The correct answers are: Customized, BespokeThese are developed software for a single
customer according to their specification (select all that applies)
Qualitymeans that a product should meet its specification
TRUEBecause of very high costs of
achievement, it may be more cost effective to accept untrustworthy systems and pay
for failure costs.
System errorErroneous system behavior where the behavior of the system does not conform to
its specification.
The correct answer iThe use of more expensive development techniques and hardware that are
required to achieve the higher levels of dependability decreases the cost of dependability of
software.
