Some organizations treat software development as an informal activity. They may rely on a few programmers without using systematic processes, documentation, or reviews.
What is one likely consequence of this attitude?
Correct Answer
They do not use software engineering methods.
Explanation
Without structured methods—such as requirements analysis, design, and testing—software is more likely to be unreliable, hard to maintain, and expensive to evolve.
