ASQ Exam CSQE Topic 3 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for ASQ's CSQE exam
Question #: 12
Topic #: 3
[All CSQE Questions]

Which of the following software metrics is based on a nominal scale-1

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When a defect is discovered during the test phase, the earliest phase in the software lifecycle that could need rework to resolve the defect is often the requirements phase because:

Root Cause Analysis: Many defects originate from misunderstandings or errors in the initial requirements. If the requirements are incorrect or incomplete, it will affect all subsequent phases.

Impact on Design and Implementation: Incorrect requirements lead to flawed design and implementation, necessitating rework in these phases as well.

Cost of Fixing Defects: The cost and effort to fix defects increase exponentially the later they are found in the development lifecycle. Addressing issues at the requirements stage is more cost-effective.

If the answer isn't B, I'm going to have a major defect with the exam writer.

I'm just hoping the correct answer isn't 'the number of coffee stains on the tester's keyboard' - that would be a real nominal scale.

B has got to be the answer. Severity rankings like critical, major, and minor are textbook examples of a nominal scale metric.

This is a tricky one. I'm going to have to go with D. Defect discovery rate, because it's a count per unit of time.
