	Direct Manipulation	It is a form of Interaction style is ideal for video games.
	Specification, Development, Validation, Evolution	These are generic activities involved in all software processes: (select all that applies)
	System failure	System state that are a usually a result of system errors that are derived from faults in the system.
	FALSE	The error can not be corrected by built-in error detection and recovery.
	TRUE	Dependability costs tend to increase exponentially as increasing levels of dependability are required.
	Dependability	The extent to which a critical system is trusted by its users.
	Generic	These are software products developed to be sold to a range of different customers.
	FALSE	For systems with a short life, maintenance costs may be several times development costs.
	Improvement identification	Identify quality, cost or schedule bottlenecks
	System failure	An event that occurs at some point in time when the system does not deliver a service as expected by its users.
	TRUE	A poorly designed interface can cause a user to make catastrophic errors.
	TRUE	The failure can be avoided by built-in protection facilities.
	Safety	The ability of the system to operate without catastrophic failure.
	Customized, Bespoke	These are developed software for a single customer according to their specification (select all that applies)
	Software Engineers	They are I.T. practitioners who adopt a systematic and organised approach to their work and use appropriate tools and techniques depending on the problem to be solved, the development constraints and the resources available.
	Process change introduction	Modify the process to remove identified bottlenecks
	Availability	The ability of the system to deliver services when requested.
	TRUE	Dependability costs tend to increase exponentially as increasing levels of dependability are required.
	recoverability	It is a UI design principle that allows user to recover from errors.
	Software Engineer	It is focused on cost effective software development.
	TRUE	Because of very high costs of dependability achievement, it may be more cost effective to accept untrustworthy systems and pay for failure costs.
	None among the choices	Some of the components of User interface design process. (select all that applies)
	The correct answer i	The 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.
	Reliability	The probability of failure-free system operation over a specified time in a given environment for a given purpose.
	TRUE	Designers should be aware of people’s physical and mental limitations.
	Technical cost	This factor often dominates system costs in a system development
	Survivability	It subsumes the notion of resilience - the ability of a system to continue in operation in spite of component failures.
	Change tuning	Evolve and improve process improvements
	Specification	Part of the generic activity of software development which checks what the system should do and its development constraints.
	Software Engineering	It is concerned with theories, methods and tools for professional software development
	Process change training	Train staff involved in new process proposals
	FALSE	The 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.
	Reliability	The ability of the system to deliver services as specified.
	System error	Erroneous system behavior where the behavior of the system does not conform to its specification.
	Software Engineering	It is focused on cost effective software development.
	Validation	The process of checking that the software is what the customer wants.
	System fault	An incorrect system state i .e . a system state that is unexpected by the designers of the system.
	FALSE	The increased testing and system validation that is required to convince the system client that the required levels of dependability have been achieved decreases the cost of dependability of software
	ISO 9000	International set of standards for quality management.
	Maintainability	A system attribute which is concerned with the ease of repairing the system after a failure has been discovered or changing the system to include new features.
	Availability	The probability that a system, at a point in time, will be operational and able to deliver the requested services.
	Survivability	This is an increasingly important attribute for distributed systems whose security can be compromised.
	level 2	Organizations rated as ______ in the CMM are likely to be ISO 9000 compliant
	User-centered design	It is an approach to UI design where the needs of the user are paramount and where the user is involved in the design process.
	TRUE	Errors do not necessarily lead to system failures.
	User diversity	It is a UI design principle that provides appropriate interaction facilities for different types of system user.
	The correct answers are: Customized, Bespoke	These are developed software for a single customer according to their specification (select all that applies)
	Dependability	It reflects the extent of the user’s confidence that it will operate as users expect and that it will not ‘fail’ in normal use.
