Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.

Question. 1. What is Object –oriented design? Write any three characteristics of an object-oriented design (OOD).

Answer: Object Oriented Design is the concept that forces programmers to plan out their code in order to have a better flowing program. The origins of object oriented design is debated, but the first languages that supported it included Simula and SmallTalk. The term did not become popular until Grady Booch wrote the first paper titled Object-Oriented Design, in 1982.

Object Oriented Design is defined as a programming language that has 5 conceptual tools to aid the programmer. These programs are often more readable than non-object oriented programs, and debugging becomes easier with locality.

Question. 2. Write a short note on Capability Maturity Model.

Answer: The Capability Maturity Model (CMM)[1] is a development model created after study of data collected from organizations that contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense, who funded the research. The term "maturity" relates to the degree of formality and optimization of processes, from ad hoc practices, to formally defined steps, to managed result metrics, to active optimization of the processes.

The model's aim is to improve existing software development processes, but it can also be applied to other processes.

Maturity model: A maturity model can be viewed as

Question. 3. Briefly explain Prototyping Model.

Answer: The basic idea here is that instead of freezing the requirements before a design or coding can proceed, a throwaway prototype is built to understand the requirements. This prototype is developed based on the currently known requirements. By using this prototype, the client can get an “actual feel” of the system, since the interactions with prototype can enable the client to better understand the requirements of the desired system.  Prototyping is an attractive idea for complicated and large systems for which there is no manual process or existing system to help determining the requirements.

The prototype are usually not complete systems and many of the details are not built in the prototype. The goal is to provide a system with overall functionality.

Question. 4. What are the limitations of the linear sequential model?

Answer: Linear Sequential Model/Waterfall Model/Classic Life Cycle : The linear sequential model, sometimes called the classic life cycle or the waterfall model, suggests a systematic, sequential approach to software development that begins at the system level and progresses through communication, planning, modeling, construction and deployment. The following given figure illustrates the linear sequential model for software engineering.

(i) Communication : This activity involves heavy communication with customers and other stakeholders in order to gather requirements and other related activities.

(ii) Planning : Here a plan to be followed will be created which will describe the technical tasks to be conducted, risks, required resources, work schedule etc.

Question. 5. What is Verification and Validation? Briefly explain Validation Testing and Validation Test Criteria.

Answer: In software project management, software testing, and software engineering, verification and validation (V&V) is the process of checking that a software system meets specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. It may also be referred to as software quality control. It is normally the responsibility of software testers as part of the software development lifecycle. In simple terms, software verification is: "Assuming we should build X, does our software actually achieve its goals without any bugs or gaps?" On the other hand,
