p:/
8. a) Explain Meta Model. 3
b) A Library Membership Software (LMS) should support
the following three options :
/q
(i) New member
(ii) Renewal
pap
(iii) Cancel membership.
When the new member option is selected, the software
should ask for the member's name, address and phone
number. If proper information is entered, the software
should create a membership record for the new member
er.
with membership id and print a bill for the annual

membership charge and the security deposit payable. If
the renewal option is chosen, the LMS should ask for
the membership id. If the membership id is valid, then
wb
the membership expiry date in the membership record

should be updated and the annual membership charge
payable by the member should be printed. If the
membership id is not valid, an error message will be
ut .
displayed. If the cancel membership option is selected,

the system should ask for the membership id again. If
the membership id is valid, then the membership
cancellation process can be executed and a cheque for
a c.
the balance amount due to the member is printed and

membership record will be deleted.
Draw Decision Tree and also implement Decision Table
for the system. 3

c) Differentiate between 'code walkthrough' and 'code
inspection'. 2
d) A software product's development cost is Rs. 50,000

and total size is 125 KLOC. During maintenance, to
er.
correct the errors, some coding portions has been

deleted and that size is 15 KLOC. After correction, a
new perfection module will be implemented and for this
wb
module extra 55 KLOC size of code has been added.

Calculate the software product's maintenance cost. 7

C function. Also find its cyclomatic complexity using
possible methods. 1+2+3
c) Write down two differences between a structure chart
and a flow chart. 2

What documents should be produced on completion of
high-level and detailed designs respectively ? 2+2

12. a) Draw the context diagram and Level 1 DFD for the
following Mail Order Processing System. 7
"HMV Records is a mail-order company that distributes
CDs and tapes at discount prices to record club
members. When an order processing clerk receives an
er.
order form, he or she verifies that the sender is a club

member by checking the member file. If the sender is
not a member, the clerk returns the order along with a
wb
membership application form. If the customer is a

member, the clerk verifies the order item data by
checking the Item file. Then the clerk enters the order
data and saves it to the Daily Order file. The clerk also
prints an invoice and shipping list for each order, which
ut .
are forwarded to order fulfilment".

Gnatt charts, if you were to perform the duties of a
project manager. 2
