Good morning,

Can any one let me know the answer for this

Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are both necessary to make quality happen. Of the two QA is more important than QC - True / False

Thanks again for your reply. Let me explain two things before more questions :

1. You said Question 4 doesnt look like an exam question. The reason might be that in addition to the CSQA bank, I also have collected all the other samples and questions asked by other people, and they are mixed up. Anywas they are questions that I am not sure about.

2. The exam I will attend is actually CSTE instead of CSQA. I have read the "Guide to CSTE 2006 CBOK" thoroughly. Now I want to find some samples to practise.  I have finished those three postings on your website: CSTE Study materials and tests, CSTE Sample Quiz A and CSTE Sample Quiz B. Very helpful. However, on your website, there are more sample questions for CSQA than CSTE. That's why I am using CSQA bank, because some of the content are the same. But I still would like to find the real sample exams for CSTE, if there is any. Please let me know where I can find them.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

Good discussion and thanks for the answer.

Here I have some more for discussion. I have searched on this site for anwser, but get confused and hope to get final word :)

1. Quality need not be defined in quantitative terms in order to be measurable. (True or false)

My answer is true, because I consider those quality factors such as usability, reliablity. They don't need to be defined in quantitative, right?

2. Quality can be controlled only if it is measured. (True or false).

This is true, although the measure can be quantitative or qualitive.

3. The topics of standards and nonconformance should discussed in every meeting to improve quality. True or false.

I think it is false. No need to discuss on every meeting, right?

4. Testing is not a verification technique. (True or false)

I think it is true, but not sure. I think it depends on the word "testing", whether you use it narrowly or broadly.

5. Modifying existing standards to better match the need of project or environment is
a.Definition
b.Standard for a standard
c.Tailoring
d.Customization
e.None of the above

The answer on this site says e (none of the above), but I think it is customization (of the process, while standard is part of process). Please confirm.

Thanks!

True. Coz Prevention is better than cure . QA prevents the future problems by looking at current process. QC fixes the defects with the products
