EXIN DevOps Foundation — Question 4

Commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) has both advantages and limitations for businesses.
What is true about COTS?

Answer options

• A. COTS supports continuous development with its fast implementation
• B. COTS will save the business time and money, by reducing development time
• C. Depending on the type of COTS used, the possibility of customization is limited

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as COTS solutions typically provide pre-built functionalities that can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with software development. While A mentions fast implementation, it does not address the overall savings in time and money. C is also valid but focuses on customization limitations rather than the primary benefits of COTS.
