Why does it cost so much to develop a piece of software?
Why can’t software errors be removed from products prior to delivery?
A. Why does computer hardware cost so much?
Explanation : These, and many other questions, are a manifestation of the concern
about software and the manner in which it is developed—a concern that has lead to the
adoption of software engineering practice.
Why does it take so long to get software finished?
Why are development costs so high?
Why can’t we find all errors before we give the software to our customers?
Why do we spend so much time and effort maintaining existing programs?
Why do we continue to have difficulty in measuring progress as software is being
developed and maintained?

. Software is a product and can be manufactured using the same technologies used for
other engineering artifacts
True
False
B. False
 Semester VI 602 - Core 25
Explanation : The characteristics of software that make it different from other things
that human beings build. Software is a logical rather than a physical system element.

Competence: In an agile development (as well as software engineering) context,
“competence” encompasses innate talent, specific software-related skills, and overall
knowledge of the process that the team has chosen to apply.
Common focus: Although members of the agile team may perform different tasks and
bring different skills to the project, all should be focused on one
Goal—to deliver a working software increment to the customer within the Time
promised.
Collaboration: team members must collaborate—with one another and all other
Stakeholders.
Decision-making ability: the team is given autonomy—decision-making authority for
both technical and project issues.
Fuzzy problem-solving ability: Software managers must recognize that the agile team
will continually have to deal with ambiguity and will continually be buffeted by change
Mutual trust and respect:
Self-organization: The team selects how much Work it believes it can perform within the
iteration, and the team commits to The work
