Answer / guest
Answer: B
A strength of an implemented quality system based on ISO
9001 is that it enhances improvements in software life cycle
activities, quality assurance and quality control.
Weaknesses of the system include that it can fail to provide
clear answers to questions concerning productivity,
reliability or cost-effectiveness of the system. A quality
system is not a guarantee of quality solutions to business
problems since poorly defined user requirements will
adversely affect the design of the software. Depending on
the maturity of the implemented quality system stages can
vary from not implemented to fully implemented procedures.
