Final Exam
COTS stands for

Commercial Off-The-Shelf systems

It is communication between different modules.

Coupling

Software evolution does not comprises:

Negotiating with client

Acceptance testing is also known as

 Beta testing

It is a conceptualization of problem into several well-organized elements of solution

Structured design

It is grouping of all functionally related elements

Cohesion

The Incremental Model is combination of elements of

Linear Model & Prototyping Model

Unit testing is done by

Developers

It takes the whole software system as one entity and then decomposes it to achieve
more than one sub-system or component based on some characteristics.

Top Down Design

Which of the following is not used in measuring the size of the software

Size of module

Which of the following is black box testing

Boundary value analysis

.NET are specific to which platform?

Microsoft
Which technique is applied to ensure the continued evolution of legacy systems ?

Reverse Engineering and Reengineering

OOD allows similar classes to stack up in hierarchical manner where the lower or

sub-classes can import, implement and re-use allowed variables and methods from
their immediate super classes.

Inheritance 

Processes for evolving a software product depend on:

All of the mentioned

Consider the example and categorize it accordingly, “A pattern-matching system

developed as part of a text-processing system may be reused in a database
management system”.

Component reuse

The two dimensions of spiral model are

radial, angular

It has been a great tool of interaction with computers until the video display
monitors came into existence.

Command Line Interface 

All entities involved in the solution design are known as __________. For example,
person, banks, company, and customers are treated as objects.

Objects 

Which of the following is non-functional testing?

 Performance testing

OOD languages provide a mechanism where methods performing similar tasks but

vary in arguments, can be assigned same name.

 Polymorphism 

Reuse-based software engineering is a software engineering strategy where the

development process is geared to reusing existing software.

True

White box testing

Behavioral testing is

Black box testing

Program modularization and Source code translation are the activities of_____________

Reengineering

COTS product reuse means

Systems are developed by configuring and integrating existing application systems

The ___________________ model starts with most specific and basic components. It
proceeds with composing higher level of components by using basic or lower level
components.

Bottom-up Design

SPICE stands for

Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination

Model preferred to create client/server applications is

Concurrent Model

Identify the correct statement with respect to Evolutionary development:

Evolutionary development usually has two flavors; exploratory development, and

throw-away prototyping

In ________________, the system comprises of many smaller sub-systems known as

functions.

function-oriented design

It works around the entities and their characteristics instead of functions involved in
the software system. This design strategies focuses on entities and its characteristics.

Object Oriented Design

In OOD, the attributes (data variables) and methods (operation on the data) are
bundled together is called _________________.

Encapsulation 

Beta testing is done at

User’s end

It is text-based notifier that is mostly shows the context in which the user is working.
It is generated by the software system.

Command Prompt 

What are generic application systems that may be designed to support a particular
business type, activity, or sometimes a complete enterprise?

A ___________is an executable instruction. It may have one or more parameters.

Command

Which of the following is a generic structure that is extended to create a more

specific subsystem or application?

Framework

Which of the following is not an advantages of software reuse?

high effectiveness

It is a process to conceptualize the software requirements into software

implementation.

Software Design

Spiral model was developed by

Berry Boehm

“An ordering system may be adapted to cope with a centralized ordering process in
one company and a distributed process in another.” Which category the example
belong to?

 Process specialization
