QUESTION 1
Before you release the solution, you need to develop a process to validate and
enforce an appropriate level of quality. Which three statistics should you use?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution)
A. Number of defects per component
070-300
Actualtests.com – The Power of Knowing
B. Number of defects per thousand lines of source code
C. Number of defects by developer
D. Percentage of successful builds
E. Percentage of requirements tested
F. Number of defects detected to date
G. Number of defects corrected to date
Answer: E, F, G

handle the new shipping volume, without any errors. Response time for the
