medium📝 Analysis Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify the symptoms
Slow response and high CPU usage indicate poor resource management.Step 2: Match symptoms to characteristics
Efficiency measures how well software uses resources like CPU and memory.Step 3: Exclude other options
Reliability relates to failure frequency, maintainability to ease of updates, portability to adaptability across platforms.Final Answer:
Efficiency -> Option AQuick Check:
High CPU and slow response mean poor efficiency [OK]
Quick Trick: Resource waste means low efficiency [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Mistaking reliability for performance issues
- Confusing maintainability with performance
