Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Software quality characteristics classify different dimensions of product behaviour: continuity of operation, resource use, ease of change, and ease of transfer.
In a matching question, identify the defining phrase in each description first, then pair it with the characteristic whose scope is exactly that phrase.
Application
Characteristic | Defining cue | List II |
|---|---|---|
Reliability | maintains performance for a stated period under stated conditions | II |
Efficiency | relates performance to the resources used | III |
Maintainability | concerns effort for correction, improvement, or adaptation | IV |
Portability | concerns transfer between organizations or environments | I |
Cross-check and contrast
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV assigns the modification description to Portability and the transfer description to Maintainability.
A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV exchanges the performance-continuity and resource-use descriptions, and also exchanges the modification and transfer descriptions.
A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III assigns modification to Reliability, continuity of performance to Efficiency, transfer to Maintainability, and resource use to Portability.
Therefore, the complete matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
