Q1. Which of the following manuals is not a type of documentation manual that is documented during the development phase of the software?
- Design manual
- Testing Manual
- Implementation Manual
- Discussion Manual
Answer: d. Discussion Manual

Answer: b. Only ii is true
Explanation:
(i) is not true because we can make changes in our software once deployed and can release a new version for the same when done.
(ii) is true because until the software is in the development phase, it is termed as a software process, and once it is ready to be delivered to the user, we call it a software product.
