Ans 1: Menu-Driven- A menu is an exhaustive list of available

system functions that are displayed on the terminal or
workstation so user can choose them among. Dialogues that use
this method of interaction are said to be menu driven.
Keyword Dailogue- With keyword dialogues, users invoke
processing activities by entering a command the system
understands. The three forms of keyword dialogue include the
single command, the mnemonic, and the natural language form.

Question/Answer Dailogue- As their name suggests ,rely on the

presentation of a question to the user. The answers guides the
resulting processing. The format may involve yes/no answers or
narrative responses .The question/answers strategy allows the
presentation of more elaborate questions and alternatives’ than
do other strategies. It requires the analyst to anticipate every
possible answer a user might provide, a potentially difficult task.
It also the wordiest dialogue strategy.

Ans 2: Characterstics of interface in online system:

It includes the devices used to enter and receive data, the

dialogue which prompts and guides users, and the methods and
patterns followed in display of information. Common interface
devices in online system are keyboard ,mouse ,light pen,
scanner, touch screen or voice.

The dialogue guides the interaction between system and user.

The daiogues determine the amount of information that must
pass between user and system. The particular design influences
the detail one must specify and the way in which it is articulated.
Poor dialogue can undetermined the best interface devices, but
the right dialogue can make the boundary between user and
system seem nonexistent.

User also react to the manner in which information is organized

for display in an online system. The way the physical area of a
display is structured, as well as the particular methods of
highlighting and signaling can enhance the red ability of display
information.
Ans 3: More documentation means easier usage. More
documentation means better add-on modules. More
documentation means happier users. As soon as a user gets stuck
trying to get a program feature to work, he or she starts to read
that program's documentation. Imagine, therefore, creating well-
structured and well-written documentation that will make it easy
for the user to get that feature to work.

In general the following aspects of a program or project should be

documented:

1. Basic usage is mostly covered in a man page.

2. More advanced usage can be achieved by listing ALL
configuration options in the documentation and giving
examples on how to use them (take the very good Apache
documentation for example).
3. Source code, of course, because somebody may want to add
features to the program.
4. Examples of usage to supply a working basic configuration
file and document it heavily.
5. Installation of the program, because not all programs work
with ./configure && make && make install.
6. User interface, especially if it is not a common point-and-
click one.

Involvement of people in software life

Documentation is an important part of software engineering.

Types of documentation include:

1. Requirements - Statements that identify attributes,

capabilities, characteristics, or qualities of a system. This is
the foundation for what shall be or has been implemented.
2. Architecture/Design - Overview of softwares. Includes
relations to an environment and construction principles to
be used in design of software components.
 3. Technical - Documentation of code, algorithms,
interfaces, and APIs.
4. End User - Manuals for the end-user, system
administrators and support staff.
5. Marketing - How to market the product and analysis of
the market demand.

Ans 4:Need of Auxiliary storage devices: When user enters the

data/program using input device, those are stored in RAM. RAM is
a Volatile memory which means that all the contents of RAM are
erased when the power is switched-off. Therefore, in order to
store the entered data permanently for future reference, auxiliary
memory is required. Auxiliary storage devices like Floppy disk,
Magnetic disk and Magnetic tape have auxiliary memory.

The main memory is used ti store only the data and instruction
which are to be used immediately.
However a computer has to storage in auxiliary memory.
The bulk of information is stored in auxiliary memory this is
also called backing storage when the power is switched off
the data can't be removed. Auxiliary storage devices are used
to provide additional, portable storage, as opposed to hard
drives which are fixed inside the computer and serve as
primary storage devices.

Internal Hard Disk Drive

• Internal hard disk drive is the main auxiliary storage device
that stores all of your data magnetically, including operating
system files and folders, documents, music and video. You
can think of the hard disc drive as a stack of disks mounted
one on top of the other and placed in a sturdy case. They
spin at high speeds to provide easy and fast access to stored
data anywhere on a disk.
External Hard Disk Drive
 • External hard disk drives are used when the internal drive
does not have any free space and you need to store more
data. In addition, it is recommended that you always back up
all of your data and the external hard drives become very
useful as they can safely store large amounts of information.
They can be connected by either USB or Firewire connection
to a computer and can even be connected with each other
in case you need several additional hard drives at the same time.

Use of auxiliary devices:

1.Magnateic Tape:- Data are stored along the length of the tape
at a specified density, measured in bytes per inch. One byte
stored one character .Data are read from the tapes in blocks. To
make better use of storage space, systems analysts usually
reduce the number of inter block gaps required through blocking.

2.Magnetic Disk:- Data are written to or read from magnetic disks

only when they are being rotated by disk derive .Disk rotation
ranges from approximately 200 to several thousand revolutions
per minute, depending on the disk drive used.

3. Back up and Recovery of Flies: Information systems are not to

immune to problems that can lead to accidental loss of data
,analysts are concerned with the preservation of both transaction
and master file data during the design phase and throughout the
life of the system.

Ans 5: A Structure Chart (SC) in software

engineering and organizational theory is a chart, which shows the
breakdown of the configuration system to the lowest manageable
levels.
This chart is used in structured programming to arrange the
program modules in a tree structure. Each module is represented
by a box, which contains the module's name. The tree structure
visualizes the relationships between the modules.
Table Insights
The Table Insights application displays a table of sales
performance data for each month over one-year period
for various regions. It uses the UI control Scroll View at
the bottom to navigate left and right to view the data
table. The regional data for each month is displayed in
rows and monthly data for each region is displayed in
columns

FosiX
FosiX is a tool designed to the storage consumption of
the folders including their subfolders in a browsable
chart or size tree view structure. You can simply navigate
through those visualized folders by clicking on the chart
elements or by using keyboard shortcuts.

Speaker Workshop
Speaker Workshop 1.06 is a program to design
loudspeakers in your PC. If your system has a plain
sound card, you will also be able to test the designed
speaker. You will be able to construct a loudspeaker
circuit by including its different components (with values)
into a chart. The program will then calculate the output
that this system will produce.
Disk Pie
Disk Pie has been developed to provide you with better
understanding of the type and structure of data that is
stored on your hard drives. With the help of this
application any of your drives or directories can be
represented as a pie chart. The application has a very
intuitive interface.

Gantt Project
Gantt Project is a project management planning tool to
schedule and track projects. This management tool is a
Gantt chart that allows creating, editing and deleting
tasks. Its GUI is easy and friendly to use. Its installation is
 easy to perform and some components must be selected
during the process. Gantt Project is an open source
program that runs in any platform (Windows, Linux, Mac
OSX, etc).

E Draw Organizational Chart

E draw Organizational Chart provides a graphical
package that allows the user to easily create different
types of organizational charts. It is specifically designed
to support the rapid creation of staff organization
diagrams, management structures or any hierarchical
structure charts. Support is also given to include
photographic images within each node of the chart.
Scan Assistant
Scan Assistant is a visual basic application that helps
automate the process of naming and moving a scanned
image to the server for linking to the patient chart. This
lets you choose where you store your images, which is
ideal for clients who do not want to store them within the
default Practice Partner folder structure.

Ans 6: Quality assurance, or QA for short, is the systematic

monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a project,
service or facility to maximize the probability that minimum
standards of quality are being attained by the production process.
QA cannot absolutely guarantee the production
of quality products.
Two principles included in QA are: "Fit for purpose" - the product
should be suitable for the intended purpose; and "Right first time"
- mistakes should be eliminated. QA includes regulation of
the qualityof raw materials, assemblies, products and
components, services related to production, and management,
production and inspection processes.
Quality is determined by the product users, clients or customers,
not by society in general. It is not the same as 'expensive' or 'high
quality'. Low priced products can be considered as having high
quality if the product users determine them as such.
Steps for a typical quality assurance process
There are many forms of QA processes, of varying scope and
depth. The application of a particular process is often customized
to the production process.
A typical process may include:

 test of previous articles

 plan to improve
 design to include improvements and requirements
 manufacture with improvements
 review new item and improvements
 test of the new item
