        ii)After reaching the 70 percent level, suppose that the remaining three seeded defects are found along with only four more real defects. Explain what you think is happening.

4) Describe your level of comfort for quality if a group of software developers tell you that they used test-driven development. Explain why.

Artificial intelligence(AI) may result in a significant operating cost reduction

Artificial intelligence is a very important subjectnowadays, but not everyone understands the scale of its value for the business. Thus, the existing AI technology can increase the productivity of the business by 50%. With the help of AI learning, Netflix managed to save USD 1 billion in 2017. When a company is using AI, 34% of customers spend more money on their products and services. Apart from this, 49% are thinking about buying something from the company more often in case it uses AI. These facts should be enough to assure you that artificial intelligence can be very beneficial. And here are a few ways of how you can use AI to reduce costs, improve efficiency and make your business more successful.

Artificial intelligence can help to reduce the mistakes and improve the overall efficiency of your company. For example, for the above-mentioned issue, you can use an AI personal assistant. Using your calendar, it will schedule calls and meetings, send you reminders, and so on. The probability of a human error will be reduced significantly, which means that you won’t waste the budget on fixing mistakes. Moreover, you will be able to spend the time saved on something more important.

3D printing help to reduce costs and improve competitiveness in a manufacturing industry

3D printing makes it possible to assemble ideas at a faster pace. In some instances, it could be possible for 3D concepts to be designed and printed on the same day but in terms of large-scale manufacturing, it is certainly faster than conventional methods. This can help companies to reduce manufacturing time from months to days while ensuring that they remain ahead of their competitors.

Inspite the challenges, 3D printing will change the way of manufacturing

However, in the main, these are not challenges that cannot be overcome with some careful forward thinking and planning. The manufacturing industry is filled with competition and that means that these challenges are nothing more than hurdles to overcome. This is because the industry has to not only think about the technical benefits that 3D printing for manufacturing can bring, but also the value it can add to a business.

It is crucial that businesses do not only identify applications and parts that they can create with 3D printing, but their manufacturing strategy as a whole and how 3D printing should fit into that. This is down to the fact that the technology can enhance innovation and value to overall operations. So, it is not about finding products that fit the technology but ensuring that the technology suits the product and the company working model

ANSWER B

Challenges, which companies have to deal in Artificial intelligence, such are:

Requires financial investment and can be quite costly. Robots and other products of artificial intelligence replacing humans can become the cause of unemployment. Robots and other products of artificial intelligence do not possess such human qualities, as creativity or emotional intelligence.

Challenges, which companies have to deal in 3d printing, such as:

• Manufacturing costs
• (Lack of) Expertise
• Software development and capabilities
• Recyclability
• The cost of the equipment
• The materials available for your industry
• Post processing needs

 GO19_AC_CH02_GRADER_2E_HW – Biology Supplies 1.1

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database to answer questions about biology laboratory supplies at a college. You will open and save an existing database, create a relationship between two tables, sort records in a table, create queries in Design view, create queries from existing queries, sort query results, and specify criteria in a query.

Start Access. Open the downloaded   file named Student_Access_2E_Biology_Supplies.accdb, and enable the content.

Using   Vendor ID as the common field, create a one-to-many relationship between the   2E Vendors table and the 2E Biology Lab Supplies table. Enforce referential   integrity and enable both cascade options.

Create   a relationship report with normal margins. Save it as 2E Relationships Close all open objects.

In   the last record of the 2E Vendors table, change the data in the Vendor ID field   from V-100 to V-001, save and then close the table. (The   related records in the 2E Biology Lab Supplies table will automatically   update.)

Open   your 2E Biology Lab Supplies table. Sort the records first in Descending   order by Price Per Item and then in Ascending order by Category. Close the   table, saving changes to the table.

Create   a query in Query Design view based on the 2E Biology Lab Supplies table to   answer the question: What is the item   ID, item name, room, location, and quantity in stock for all of the items,   sorted in ascending order by the Room field and the Location field?   Display the fields in the order listed in the question. Save the query as 2E Items by Room Query. Close the query.

Copy   the 2E Items by Room Query to create a new query with the name 2E Item Categories Query. Redesign the query to answer the   question: What is the item ID, item   name, category, vendor ID, and quantity in stock for all items, sorted in   ascending order by the Category field and the Vendor ID field? Display   only the fields necessary to answer the question and in the order listed in   the question. Be sure that the fields are sorted in the correct order in   Design view, so that the results display the categories in ascending order,   then the Vendor IDs within each category in ascending order. Close the query,   saving the design changes.

Copy   the 2E Items by Room Query to create a new query with the name 2E Supplies Sort Query. Redesign the query to answer the   question: What is the item name,   category, price per item, and quantity in stock for all supplies, sorted in   ascending order by the Category field and then in descending order by the   Price Per Item field? Display only the fields necessary to answer the question   and in the order listed in the question. Close the query, saving the design   changes.

Copy   the 2E Supplies Sort Query to create a new query with the name 2E Kits Query. Redesign the query to answer the   question: What is item name, category,   price per item, quantity in stock, and vendor ID for all items that have a   category of kits, sorted in ascending order by the Item Name field? Do   not display the Category field in the query results, and display the rest of   the fields in the order listed in the question. Run the query; six records   match the criteria. Close the query, saving the design changes

Create   a query in Query Design view based on the 2E Vendors table to answer the   question: What is the vendor ID, vendor   name, and phone number where the phone number is blank, sorted in ascending   order by the Vendor Name field? Display the fields in the order listed in   the question. Run the query; two records match the criteria. Save the query   as 2E Missing Phone Query. Close the query.

Be   sure that all database objects are closed, open the Navigation Pane, and then   close Access. Submit the Student_Access_2E_Biology_Supplies.accdb   database as directed.

Project Part 2: Gap Analysis Plan and Risk Assessment Methodology

Scenario

After the productive team meeting, Fullsoft’s chief technology officer (CTO) wants further analysis performed and a high-level plan created to mitigate future risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. As part of this request, you and your team members will create a plan for performing a gap analysis, and then research and select an appropriate risk assessment methodology to be used for future reviews of the Fullsoft IT environment.An IT gap analysis may be a formal investigation or an informal survey of an organization’s overall IT security. The first step of a gap analysis is to compose clear objectives and goals concerning an organization’s IT security. For each objective or goal, the person performing the analysis must gather information about the environment, determine the present status, and identify what must be changed to achieve goals. The analysis most often reveals gaps in security between “where you are” and “where you want to be.”Two popular risk assessment methodologies are NIST SP 800-30 revision 1, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments, and Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE). Your focus will be on the OCTAVE Allegro version, which is a more concise version of OCTAVE. When reviewing the methodologies, consider the following:

• Which features or factors of each methodology are most important and relevant to Fullsoft?
• Which methodology is easier to follow?
• Which methodology appears to require fewer resources, such as time and staff, but still provides for a thorough assessment?

Tasks

• Create a high-level plan to perform a gap analysis.
• Review the following two risk assessment methodologies:
  • NIST SP 800-30 rev. 1, Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments (formerly titled ” Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems”)
  • Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE), Allegro version
• Create a report that includes the gap analysis plan, a brief description of each risk assessment methodology, a recommendation for which methodology Fullsoft should follow, and justification for your choice.

Required Resources

• Textbook for this course
• Internet access
• Additional websites for research

Submission Requirements

• Format: Microsoft Word or compatible
• Font: APA Format
• Citation Style: APA Format
• Submit in the Group Project Part 2Assignment

For this week’s assignment, you will have multiple requirements. First you will select an IT policy lifecycle. Thinking about the course case study, consider the most appropriate Lifecycle to help drive policy. You can select a lifecycle that has already been developed, or you may create your own. State the name of your lifecycle, provide a visual if available and walk through the phases/stages of the lifecycle.

Next, use the lifecycle to drive a selection for a Policy Framework for your plan that will be applied to PYZ Tech. Create, define, and discuss how the policy will be managed. Continue to keep your governance framework and the outline of areas that should be included with these types of plans in mind.

The IT policy framework can be similar to the governance framework in structure, but it should have a focus on policy and procedures. This can be a visual or a narrative component to the assignment. Remember to always include some narrative explanation when providing visuals as a component to the overall plan.

Note: I am uploading a picture of lifecycle I have selected. Write the assignment accordingly
