Important Topics and Answers: Software Engineering

Software Process Models

Common models include Incremental, Spiral, Waterfall, Agile, and COCOMO. Each offers distinct

advantages: e.g., Waterfall is sequential, Agile is iterative, and Spiral focuses on risk assessment.

Requirement Engineering

Involves tasks like requirement elicitation, analysis, documentation, and validation. Functional

requirements specify system behavior; non-functional requirements address performance, usability,

etc.

Design Principles

Key principles include modularity (breaking system into smaller modules), cohesion (module's

internal strength), and coupling (degree of interdependence between modules).

Testing

Includes Black Box (testing without knowing internal code), White Box (testing with internal

knowledge), Equivalence Partitioning, and Boundary Value Analysis.

DevOps

Focuses on collaboration between development and operations. Lifecycle stages include plan,

develop, build, test, release, deploy, operate, and monitor.

Software Quality Assurance (SQA)

Encompasses methods like Six Sigma, adherence to CMM levels, and tracking quality metrics to

ensure software reliability.

Software Maintenance and Reengineering

Maintenance types: corrective, adaptive, perfective, and preventive. Reverse engineering involves

analyzing existing systems to extract design information.


Project Management

Key elements include project scheduling (e.g., Gantt charts), risk management strategies, and

effective resource allocation to ensure timely delivery.
