Correct answer: D. All of these
Explanation
Pressman separates software measures into direct and indirect ones. Direct measures of the product are those that can be counted straight off: lines of code, execution speed, memory size and defects reported. Indirect measures are attributes that cannot be counted directly and must be inferred from other data: functionality, quality, complexity, efficiency, reliability and maintainability. Quality, complexity and reliability are all in that indirect list, so option 4, "All of these", is correct.More Database Management Systems questions
