Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Organizations and society in general are becoming very dependent on software applications and their ability to work as expected. Releasing software to users with known bugs in it or without being fully and properly tested could result in disaster. For example, a computer-controlled radiation machine dispensed lethal doses of radiation when an incorrect combination of keys was pressed due to inadequate application testing. Also, it is not uncommon for products to be "pushed" out the door without adequate testing in order to meet deadlines. IT executives must focus on developing staff who commit themselves to quality and ethical solutions in the development of IT products and services.

A key strategy for career success is to avoid taking risks.
