SOLUTION:
Name / Terms Descriptions
6 Consider an old hedge clipper device consisting of
one switch for its operation. The device starts
immediately after the single switch is being pressed
which assures its simplicity as compared to the
modern hedge clipper devices which use at least two
switches, and in addition probably some extra
electronics. Both switches must be activated in order
to operate the device, and the switches are arranged
in a way that you would need both hands for
activation. Additionally, modern hedge trimmers
have a soft start which inherently serves as a kind of
announcement for the operator.
The downside effect of the modern ones is that it
involves more electrical parts than the older ones.
Based on the above data, what do you conclude
about the safety and reliability of older hedge
clipper devices?
8 Consider constructing software for operating an
automated door control system. One of the
requirements is that, whenever the open or close
button is pressed, the door should instantly respond
accordingly, with a failure rate of less than 0.01%.
1 Consider a scenario of level/grade crossing which is
being handled by three independent but redundant
controllers. Each controller would be able to handle
the crossing on it's own. Under normal conditions,
all three controllers would produce identical output
signals from the same input data. If one controller
fails, there are still two controllers left producing
identical output signals, and therefore the system
would still be able to keep the level crossing in
working state. The failure of one redundant
controller can be tolerated because two out of three
controllers are still able to provide identical signals
for accurate crossing.

4 Consider a smoke detector device placed in a

building which produces many false alarms. As this
device is producing many false alarms which means
it announces dangerous situations while in reality
everything is normal.
The sensor element of this smoke detector may be
too sensitive, and therefore a slight sensitivity
reduction may improve its performance.
What do you conclude about the safety and
reliability of this device?
2 Consider constructing software for operating an
automated door control system. One of the
requirements is that, when the door is moving down
and there is an object in its path, the door should halt
immediately from moving downwards.
3 Working according to its basic principle is to
minimize the change or variation as much as
possible.
5 When we tend to apply these principles, processes,
and practices resultantly it will increase the overall
cost of the project, is far from the reality, and is
actually considered a myth.
7 Performs quality assurance planning, oversight,
record keeping, analysis, and reporting. Identifying
documents to track deviations from the process and
verify that corrections have been made.
4 Consider a text/document processing application
that contains a lot of bugs and fails multiple times
during its operation, on the other hand, this failure of
the software does not usually cause any significant
damage or financial loss.

QUESTION NO 2:
Consider a sample software project having two main phases.
Each phase consists of three main tasks:
Requirements, design, and development.
These steps must be performed sequentially. Requirements for phase two can begin immediately
on the completion of the requirements task for phase one, but the design for phase two must
await satisfactory development of the phase one design task. Requirements task is expected to
take 4 weeks for phase one, and 2 weeks for phase two, while the design is expected to take 3
weeks for phase one and 2 weeks for phase two. Development is expected to take 2 weeks for
both phases.

Your task is to develop a Gantt Chart based on the above-mentioned scenario. After Developing
it, you have to submit a screenshot of the drawn Gantt chart. The screenshot must include the
current date and time.

The recommended link for creating the required Gantt chart is given below you need to open the
given link in any browser on your PC. After logging in you can create it freely without any
cost/charges.
