Benchmarking is
    a.      Comparing your company’s products services or processes against best practices or competitive
          practices to help define superior performance of a product service or support process.
    b.      A quantitative measure of the current level of performance
    c.       A test or analysis conducted after an application is moved into production
    d.      None of the above

Who is essentially responsible for the quality of a product?  
    a.       Customer
    b.      QA Manager
    c.       Development Manager

What are the 3 costs that make up the Cost of Quality?
   a.   Prevention, Appraisal, Failure

An example of a Failure Cost is
  a.     Training
 b.     Inspections
 c.       Rework
