Based on the historical data of 5 past and similar projects, you have calculated these average numbers of defects detected in system testing.
- For each 10000 LOC (lines of code), 200 defects
- For each person-month of development team effort, 49 defects
You want to use this information to perform estimation for a new project.
The project manager tells you that he/she has estimated 20000 new LOC for this new project.
Four developers work for four months on this project before system testing.
During system testing, 797 defects are discovered.
Assume that the system test of this new project is using the same amount of work as spent in the past projects.
Based on this information only, which of the following statement is certainly true about this project? K3 3 credits
Suggested Answer: A, C, F

The team effort seems proportional to the defects found, though.

Not sure if we can say the defect density is higher without more data.
AL

797 defects? That's way more than expected!
GE

I think the defect density is definitely higher here.

Based on the averages, we expected around 400 defects for 20000 LOC.

I feel like option D could be true since we found more defects than expected, but I'm not confident about the defect density comparison with past projects.

I practiced a similar question where we had to compare defect rates, but I can't recall if the number of LOC delivered can be assumed to be double the planned amount.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the defects found should relate to the effort put in by the team. Maybe option B is correct?
KE

I remember that defect density is calculated based on LOC, so if we have 20000 LOC and found 797 defects, it might indicate a higher density than before.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is to use the historical data to evaluate the actual results and see which statement is certainly true.
BE

Based on the information provided, I think option D is the correct answer. The data shows the project delivered more LOC than planned, and the defect density is higher than the past projects.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I need to carefully read each one and make sure I understand what it's saying before choosing an answer.

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step. We have the historical data, the project manager's estimates, and the actual results. I think we can use that to determine the correct statement.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the information correctly before selecting an answer.
KI

Okay, let me see. The key seems to be that the employees are trying to avoid detection, so they're keeping the disbursement sizes low. I'm leaning towards A or B, but I'll double-check the options again.
JI

Okay, I've got this. The key is using the Apply Sales Credit Concurrent program, which is option B. That's definitely the way to go here.

Hmm, I'm not sure where to look in the image to find the number of email agents. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Wasn't there a practice question about the cluster also? I can't recall if that relates to the ACI config or something else.

Haha, the project manager must be using the same estimation techniques as my uncle's garage construction business. As for the answer, I'm going with D. The numbers just don't add up any other way.

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm going to have to really think this through. Maybe I should have taken that 'Estimating Project Scope' course before taking this exam.

Hold on, did they just throw in a joke about the project manager's estimates? That's hilarious! As for the actual answer, I'm leaning towards option D as well. The numbers just don't add up otherwise.
JA
James

Option D seems to be the most accurate choice.
IL

And with a higher defect density than the past projects.
LU

Definitely, it seems like more LOC were delivered to system testing than planned.

I think the project manager's estimates were way off.

I'm not sure about this one. Option B seems plausible, but the question specifically says to base the answer on the information provided, and that doesn't mention anything about the number of defects being proportional to the development team effort.
GL
Gladis

Yeah, the question asks us to base our answer on the given information, so we need to consider that.
LA
Lamonica

I think option B is not necessarily true based on the information provided.
LA
Lawana

Hmm, this is a tricky one. Based on the information provided, I think option D is the correct answer. The number of defects found during system testing is much higher than what was expected, suggesting that more LOC than planned were delivered with a higher defect density.
CL
Clay

But the number of defects found during system testing is not proportional to the development team effort.
RE

I disagree, I believe the answer is B.
CL

I think the answer is D.
