Subjective Questions
More important questions shared by students
Q1: Many times we tag requirements with certain attributes, e.g.
Requirement ID, Requirement Status etc. list at least two (2)
advantages of such tags. (5 Marks)
We tag requirement with certain attributes in order to manage them in
orderly manner
They are use to established context and background for each requirement
and they can
Be used to filter, sort and query to view selected subset of the requirement

Q2: Being a software engineer, suppose you take a concept

development project, list some of the tasks that you will perform to
implement the project. ( 5 Mark)
• Concept scoping
• Preliminary concept planning
• Technology risk assessment
• Proof of concept
• Concept implementation
• Customer reaction to the concept

Note: just write the names of the tasks, no need to provide internal details
(textual description)
Q3: For a certain application
Suppose
P1 = current annual maintenance cost for an application = 200000
P2 = current annual operation cost for an application = 50000
P3 = current annual business value of an application = 400000
L = expected life of the system = 4 years
Calculate maintenance cost of the system. (5 Marks)
Cost of maintenance is calculated as:
C = [P3 - (P1 + P2) ] * L
[400000-(200000 + 50000)] * 4
-600000
Q4: For a certain application
MTTF = 48
MTTR = 4
Calculate the “availability” of the application. (5 Marks)
Availability formula is
Availability = (MTTF / MTBF) x 100
So first we will Find MTBF and it formula is
MTBF = MTTF + MTTR
= 48 + 4 = 52
Now add values in availability formula
= (48 / 52) x 100
= 92

Q5: Differentiate between predictable and unpredictable risks. (3

Mark)
Predictable risks can be uncovered after careful evaluation but
unpredictable risks cannot be identified
Q6: What is the Economics of Re-engineering? (3 Marks)
As re-engineering is costly and risky undertaking, a cost benefit analysis
for re-engendering must be carried out
Q7: What are the uses of "fault tree analysis" technique? (3 Marks)
Fault tree analysis can be used to predict the chain of events that can cause
hazards and the probability that each of these events occur to create the
chain
Q8 Name two types of "Reviews".(3 Marks)
There are two main types’ namely informal and Formal technical reviews
Q9: Do you think that a long parameter list of a function/method, can
be a “bad smell”? Give a reason for your answer.
Yes long method/Function can be a bad smell as they are difficult to
understand and can become inconsistent
Q l0: Calculate the value of cost variance for a software project if the
values of BCWP and ACWP are 10 and 8 respectively. (3 Marks)
CV = BCWP – ACWP
= 10 – 8

CS 605 Paper: 1
Mcqs totally from past papers prepare moaaz and waqar
Subjective: (Short)
1) types of failure cost
Ans: Failure cost has two components:
1. Internal failure cost
2. External failure cost
Internal failure cost requires rework, repair, and failure mode
analysis. On the other hand, external failure cost involves cost
for complaint resolution, product return and replacement, help-
line support, warranty work, and law suits. It is trivial to see that
cost increases as we go from prevention to detection to internal
failure to external failure.

2) application software 2 parameters assessing

Ans: The application software is assessed on the following
parameters:
1. Understandability: How difficult is it to understand the
software code of the current system? How complex are the
control structures that are used?
2. Documentation: What system documentation is available? Is
the documentation complete, consistent, and up-to-date?
3. Data: Is there an explicit data model for the system? To what
extent is data duplicated in different files?
4.Programming Language: Are modern compilers available
for the programming language? Is the language still used for
new system development?
5. Test Data: Does test data for the system exist? Is there a
record of regression tests carried out when new features have
been added to the system?
6. Personnel skills: Are there people available who have the
skills to maintain the system?
Long
Q: why prototyping is used in business process
(Lecture 41)
A redesigned business process must be prototyped before it is
fully integrated into the business. Based on the feedback the
business process is refined. With the business definition where
business goals are identified. The key drivers could be cost
reduction, time reduction, quality improvement, and personnel
development and empowerment. It may be defined at the
business level or for a specific component of the business.
Task's Of SCM (Lecture 33)
There are five tasks in the SCM process. These are
1. configuration identification
2. change control,
3. version control,
4. configuration auditing,
5.reporting.

Q: Calculate SPI values r given.

Schedule performance index SPI = BCWP/BCWS

Schedule variance SV = BCWP – BCWS

Q:CMM level name

Level 1 – Initial:
Level 2 – Repeatable:
Level 3 – Defined:
Level 4 – Managed:
Level 5 – Optimizing:
Q: requirement status
The requirement status attribute is one of the most useful ones. It
can be used to keep track of different requirements going
through different phases. The possible status values are
proposed, approved, implemented, verified, and deleted.
Q: Software safety
Software Safety is a software SQA activity that focuses on
identification of potential hazards that may affect software
negatively and cause an entire system to fail. Modeling
and analysis process is conducted as part of software safety and
hazards are identified and categorized by criticality and risk.
Q: Software reliability
Reliability and safety are closely related. Software reliability
uses statistical techniques to determine the likelihood that a
software failure will occur. Occurrence of a software failure
does not necessarily result in a hazard or mishap. On the other
hand, software safety examines the ways in which failures result
in conditions that can lead to a mishap.
Q: Change control question ay thy.(page 121,123)
The Change Control process addresses the important question of
who has the responsibility for approving and ranking changes.
Too much or too little change control creates different types of
problems as uncontrolled change rapidly leads to chaos.

Q: The processes at CMM Level-1 are typically)

undocumented and in a state of dynamic, Change.
How they are dealt with? (page 172)
It is characteristic of processes at this level that they are
(typically) undocumented and in a state of dynamic change,
tending to be driven in an ad hoc, uncontrolled and reactive
manner by users or events. This provides a chaotic or unstable
Q: Write the name of the device which prevents potential
quality problem before it occurs or rapidly detects quality
problems if they are introduced?
Poka-yoke devices are mechanisms that lead to prevention of
potential quality problem before it occurs or the rapid detection
of quality problems if they are introduced.
Characteristic of a Poka-yoke device
• It is simple and cheap
• It is part of the process
• It is located near the process task where the mistake occurs
Q: Which type of failure cost involves cost for complaint
resolution, product retum and replacement, help-line
support, warranty work, and law suits?
A: External failure cost involves cost for complaint resolution,
product return and replacement, help-line support, warranty
work, and law suits.
Q: Normally what type of information is included in
Configuration Status Reporting (CSR)? (page 126)
Configuration Status Reporting (CSR) is also known as status
accounting. It reports on the following items:
– What happened?
– Who did it?
– When did it happen?
– What else will be affected?

Short
1: types of scheduling?(page 92)
Software project scheduling is an activity that distributes
estimated effort across the planned project duration by allocating
the effort to specific software engineering tasks. It is important
to note that the schedule evolves over time. During early stages
of project planning, a macroscopic schedule is developed. This
type of schedule identifies all major SE activities and the
product functions to which they are applied
2: When legacy system is appropriate for scarp the
system completely?
Scrap the system completely This option should be
chosen when the system is not making an effective
contribution to business processes. This occurs when
business processes have changed since the system was
installed and they are no longer completely dependent on
the system.

3: Program restructuring?(page 139)

Program is restructured after the reverse engineering phase. In
this case we modify source code and data in order to make it
amenable to future changes. This includes code as well as data
restructuring.

2: CMMI model types? And one statement was given to
discuss
1. Level 1 – Initial: The software process is characterized as ad
hoc and occasionally even chaotic. Few processes are defined,
and success depends upon individual effort. By default every
organization would be at level 1.
2. Level 2 – Repeatable: Basic project management processes
are established to track cost, schedule, and functionality. The
necessary project discipline is in place to repeat earlier successes
on projects with similar applications.
3. Level 3 – Defined: The software process for both
management and engineering activities is documented,
standardized, and integrated into an organizational software
process. All projects use a documented and approved version of
the organization’s process for developing and supporting
software.
4. Level 4 – Managed: Detailed measures for software process
and product quality are controlled. Both the software process
and products are quantitatively understood and controlled using
detailed measures.
5. Level 5 – Optimizing: Continuous process improvement is
enabled by qualitative feedback from the process and from
testing innovative ideas and technologies

all mcqs are from past papers
Subjective questions are also from moaaz and waqar past
papers
Q: Legacy system
A system is considered to be a legacy system if it has been in
operation for many years. A legacy system has many
components. These include business processes, business rules,
application software, application data, support software, and
system hardware.
Q: Bad smell
Bad Smells in Code
They have identified many different types of “bad smells”.
These are briefly described in the following paragraphs:
1. Duplicated Code
– bad because if you modify one instance of duplicated code but
not the others, you (may) have introduced a bug!
2. Long Method
– long methods are more difficult to understand; performance
concerns with respect to lots of short methods are largely
obsolete
3. Large Class
– Large classes try to do too much, which reduces
cohesion
4. Long Parameter List
– hard to understand, can become inconsistent
5. Divergent Change
– Deals with cohesion; symptom: one type of change
requires changing one subset of methods; another type of
change requires changing another subset
6.Shotgun Surgery
 – a change requires lots of little changes in a lot of
different classes
7. Feature Envy
– A method requires lots of information from some other
class (move it closer!)
8. Data Clumps
– attributes that clump together but are not part of the same
class
9. Primitive Obsession
– characterized by a reluctance to use classes instead of
primitive data types
10. Switch Statements
– Switch statements are often duplicated in code; they can
typically be replaced by use of polymorphism (let OO do your
selection for you!)
11. Parallel Inheritance Hierarchies
– Similar to Shotgun Surgery; each time I add a subclass to
one hierarchy, I need to do it for all related hierarchies
12. Lazy Class
– A class that no longer “pays its way”. e.g. may be a class
that was downsized by refactoring, or represented planned
functionality that did not pan out
13. Speculative Generality
– “Oh I think we need the ability to do this kind of thing
someday”
14. Temporary Field
An attribute of an object is only set in certain circumstances; but
an object should need all of its attributes
15. Message Chains
– a client asks an object for another object and then asks that
object for another object etc. Bad because client depends on
the structure of the navigation
16. Middle Man
– If a class is delegating more than half of its responsibilities
to another class, do you really need it?
16. Inappropriate Intimacy
– Pairs of classes that know too much about each other’s
private details
18. Alternative Classes with Different Interfaces
Symptom: Two or more methods do the same thing but have
different
signature for what they do
19.Incomplete Library Class
– A framework class doesn’t do everything you need
20.Data Class
– These are classes that have fields, getting and setting
methods for the fields, and nothing else; they are data holders,
but objects should be about data AND behavior
21. Refused Bequest
– A subclass ignores most of the functionality provided by its
superclass
22. Comments (!)
– Comments are sometimes used to hide bad code
– “…comments often are used as a deodorant” (!)
