CISM study material · question 683 of 1000

Which results does NIST count as measures for the purposes of SP 800-55?

  1. Only quantitative assessment results; qualitative and semi-quantitative results are not measurements
  2. Only results that have been validated by an independent assessor before they are recorded in the measurement programme
  3. All three assessment types produce measures
  4. Only results collected by automated tools
Show the answer

Answer: A. Only quantitative assessment results; qualitative and semi-quantitative results are not measurements

SP 800-55v1 confines measurement to quantifiable values, so within that document qualitative and semi-quantitative work does not count as measurement and its outputs are not measures.
