When you say that software is of high quality, what do you mean? How does security fit in your definition of quality? For example, can an application be insecure and still be "good"?

What will be an ideal response?

The
purpose
of
this
question
is
to
help
students
recognize
that
people
often
don't
consider
security
implication
when
judging
software
quality
but
focus
only
on
primary
functionality
and
usability
features.
The
student's
answer
shoulddemonstrate
an
understanding
that,
in
addition
to
performing
its
intended
purpose
and
being
usable,
software
should
not
decrease
its
user's
or
system's
security
unnecessarily
(e.g.,
run
with
unnecessary
privileges,
have
easily
identifiable
vulnerabilities,
or
open
unnecessary
ports),
and
should
provide
security
capabilities
that
are
adequate
to
protect
its
data
and
functionality
in
typical
use.
