Assignment (60 marks)

Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should not exceed 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.

Q1. Waterfall Model, V-Model and Spiral Model are of the software development processes. Companies are using these models to have a systematic and defined approach in software development. Which of the four phases are involved in the software development process?

(Listing the 4 types- 4 marks, explaining the types- 4 marks, examples-2 marks) (7  10 marks)

Answer.

Listing the phases of SDLC

Software life cycle models describe phases of the software cycle and the order in which those phases are executed. Each phase produces deliverables required by the next phase in the life cycle. Requirements are translated into design. Code is produced according to the design which is called development phase. After coding and development the testing verifies the deliverable of the implementation phase against requirements. There are following six phases in every Software

Q.2. Software estimation is the first phase of project planning and it is the process of judging a software product and solving the problem associated with the software project. We follow some important steps to achieve reliable cost and effort estimates. Explain the different estimation models and estimation techniques. ( a. Explaining different estimation models, b. Explaining estimation techniques) 6,4

ANS:

a)      Estimation models

As, software has become very expensive, large cost estimation errors will make a huge difference between profit and loss and hence software estimation plays an important role in a software project management activity. The different estimation models involved in a software project are:

Q3. a. You are a SCM manager in a software company. How will you establish a software configuration management process in a company?  

(Definition- 1 marks, 4 procedures in software configuration management process-4 marks)

Answer.

Definition: SCM identifies, controls, audits, and reports modifications that invariably occur while software is being developed, and after it has been released to a customer.

Software Configuration Management Process

Software configuration management is an important element of software quality assurance. Its primary responsibility is the control of change. However, SCM is also responsible for the identification of individual SCIs and various versions of the software, the auditing of the software configuration to ensure that it has been properly developed, and the reporting of all

b. You are appointed as a software developer in a software company and you have been asked by your project manager to check details of the bugs from the previous version. How will you gather details associated with the various bugs in the previous version? (Definition – 1 mark, typical work cycle-4 marks)  5+5 marks 

Answer.

Definition

If i am appointed as a software developer in a software company  then i give these detail: A bug tracking system or defect tracking system is a software application that is designed to help keep track of reported software bugs in software develop

Q4. a. If you are a software engineer you must be expert in the field of software, hardware and also database. It has been listed by the industry professionals that time and effort are the most important factors in the system analysis stage. Briefly explain the steps used in in system analysis.   

(Listing the steps- 1 marks, explanation-4 marks)

Answer.

 Steps used in system analysis :

1.Identify system users

b. If you are a software developer in small company, how will you conduct a specification review? (Explanation-5 marks)  

Answer.

Conduction of specification review :

Writing software specifications is more complicated than one would initially suspect. The specification needs to be completely clear so that it can not be misinterpreted by an implementation or application developer in order to achieve full interoperabili

Q.5. Write short note on 3,3,2,2

a. Unit testing

b. System testing

c. Debugging

d. Verification and validation

ANS:

a)      Unit Testing

To understand unit testing, let us first understand ‘what is a unit?’ The smallest building blocks of software are called as units. Units are made up of individual functions in a language like C. We can define ‘unit testing’ as the method of validating small basic blocks of a complicated system, prior to testing of an integrated big module or the whole system.

Q6. What are the different methods of software prototypes and tools?  (definition of software prototype-1 mark, 3 types of techniques- 3 marks, explaining tools- 4 marks, benefits of software prototype- 2 marks) 10 marks 

Answer.

Software prototype:

Software prototyping, refers to the activity of creating prototypes of software applications, i.e., incomplete versions of the software program being developed. It is an activity that can occur insoftware development and is comparable to prototyping as known from other fields, such as mechanical engineering or manufacturi
