Question 1171

A key performance indicator (KPI) has been established to monitor the number of software changes that fail and must be re-implemented. An increase in the KPI indicates an ineffective:

    Correct Answer: D

    An increase in the number of software changes that fail and must be re-implemented indicates that errors or issues are not being effectively corrected after they occur. Corrective controls are designed to address and rectify these errors or problems post-occurrence. Therefore, an ineffective corrective control would result in more failed implementations needing to be re-addressed, which aligns with the described increase in the KPI.

Discussion
StaanleeOption: D

D. corrective control An increase in the KPI, which monitors the number of software changes that fail and must be re-implemented, indicates an ineffective corrective control. Corrective controls are designed to correct errors or problems that have occurred, so a rise in failed changes suggests that these controls are not effectively addressing issues in the software change process.

K5000ismOption: D

An increase in the number of software changes that fail and must be re-implemented indicates an ineffective: D. corrective control. Corrective controls are designed to identify and correct errors or deviations after they have occurred. In the context of software changes, a corrective control would involve processes or mechanisms to address and rectify failures in software implementations. An increase in the KPI monitoring the number of software changes that fail suggests that the corrective control in place is not effectively preventing or addressing these failures. Therefore, the corrective control is considered ineffective in this scenario.
