SOFTWARE PROCESSES ACCURATE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
SOLUTIONS 2024
What is a software process model? - ANSWER simplified representation of a software process
What are the general process models for software engineering? - ANSWER * waterfall model
* incremental development
* integration / configuration (reuse)
What are the stages of the waterfall model? - ANSWER * requirements analysis and definition
* system and software design
* implementation and component testing
* integration and system testing
* operation and maintenance
What should be produced at every stage in the waterfall model? - ANSWER documents that are signed
off
When should the waterfall model be used? - ANSWER when requirements are well understood and
unlikely to change dramatically
What is formal system development? - ANSWER mathematical models of the system are created, and
transformations that preserve consistency are used to develop the model and system
When are formal methods used? - ANSWER when the system is safety-critical or security-critical
What is incremental development? - ANSWER evolving software through iterations on the system, where
each iteration is given to the customer for feedback
, What are stages of incremental development? - ANSWER specification, development, and validation are
all interleaved during each increment
When should incremental development be used? - ANSWER * project size & team size are relatively
small
* when specification doesn't have to be defined up front
What are the benefits of incremental development over waterfall? - ANSWER * cost of accommodating
change is drastically reduced
* easier to get customer feedback
* more rapid delivery of useful software to customer
What are the problems with incremental development? - ANSWER * process is not visible, which is
difficult for measuring progress
* system structure tends to degrade if refactoring is not done
What are the stages of reuse-oriented processes? - ANSWER * component analysis
* requirements modification
* system design with reuse
* development and integration
Software specification - ANSWER process of understanding and defining what services are required from
the system and identifying the constraints on the system
What is the deliverable of requirements engineering? - ANSWER a requirements document that specifies
the system to be implemented
What are the main activities involved in specification? - ANSWER * elicitation
* specification
* validation
* management
