Clb023 Software Cost Estimating
1) Which of the following is NOT an example of a consideration for the Interfaces
and Dependencies component of a software estimating plan? [Evaluate the
appropriateness and completeness of the estimating plan for a software estimate]
[Remediation Accessed :N]
The command and control (C2) system being estimated must communicate with
an existing Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system
The estimate for a major Tier 2 subcontractor must include both hardware and
software development
Contractor engineers supporting operational test and evaluation (OT&E) will be
included as part of the contractor estimate, but the government personnel
conducting the tests much be included in the government staffing estimate
The independent verification and validation (IV&V) of software is conducted
under a separate contract and will be estimated as a separate cost element
2) True or False: If warranted, “risk dollars” may be a part of certain elements of the
Program Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS). [Appraise the adequacy of the cost element
