Q1. What is SDLC? Explain its phases.

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It defines the steps involved in the development of

software.

Phases of SDLC:

1. Requirement Gathering

2. System Design

3. Implementation (Coding)

4. Testing

5. Deployment

6. Maintenance

Q2. Explain the Waterfall Model with diagram.

Waterfall Model is a linear SDLC model.

Phases: Requirement -> Design -> Coding -> Testing -> Maintenance

(For diagram: Draw 5 boxes vertically with arrows pointing down.)

Q3. What is Agile Model? How is it different from Waterfall?

Agile Model is iterative and customer-focused.

Differences:

- Agile is flexible, Waterfall is linear.

- Agile allows changes, Waterfall doesn't.

- Agile uses sprints, Waterfall uses phases.

Q4. What is SRS? Characteristics of good SRS.

SRS = Software Requirements Specification

Includes functional and non-functional requirements.

Good SRS should be: Correct, Complete, Clear, Consistent, Modifiable, Traceable.
Q5. Define Functional and Non-functional Requirements.

Functional: What the system should do.

Example: Login system.

Non-functional: How the system behaves.

Example: Response time < 2 seconds.

Q6. What is Feasibility Study? Types?

Feasibility Study checks if project is worth doing.

Types: Technical, Economic, Operational, Legal, Schedule.

Q7. Explain DFD. Its levels.

DFD = Data Flow Diagram. Shows how data moves.

Levels:

- 0: Context

- 1: Main Processes

- 2: Detailed

Symbols: Circle (Process), Arrow (Flow), Rectangle (Entity), Open box (Data Store).

Q8. Black Box vs White Box Testing.

Black Box: Tester unaware of internal logic. Based on input/output.

White Box: Tester knows internal code. Focuses on conditions, loops.

Q9. Software Maintenance and its types.

Maintenance = Updating software after delivery.

Types:

- Corrective: Fix bugs

- Adaptive: Adapt to change


- Perfective: Improve performance

- Preventive: Prevent future issues.

Q10. What is Spiral Model?

Spiral = Iterative + Risk Analysis

Phases:

- Planning

- Risk Analysis

- Development

- Evaluation

Used in large, high-risk projects.

Q11. Software vs Program

Software: A set of programs with documentation.

Program: A single set of instructions.

Software is bigger and more complex.

Q12. Prototype Model

Prototype is a working model built before the actual software.

Used for understanding requirements.

Benefits: Early feedback, reduces risks.

Q13. What is Cohesion and Coupling?

Cohesion: How related functions in a module are. (High is good)

Coupling: Dependency between modules. (Low is good)

Q14. Write short notes on: Alpha Testing, Beta Testing


Alpha: Done by developers in-house.

Beta: Done by users before final release.

Q15. What is Risk Management in Software Engineering?

Process of identifying and controlling risks.

Steps: Identify -> Analyze -> Plan -> Monitor

Q16. What is Software Quality? Factors?

Quality = meeting customer expectations.

Factors: Functionality, Reliability, Usability, Efficiency, Maintainability, Portability.

Q17. Explain COCOMO model.

COCOMO = Constructive Cost Model

Used for estimating cost and effort of software development.

Basic Formula: Effort = a*(KLOC)^b

Q18. What are CASE tools?

CASE = Computer Aided Software Engineering

Helps automate development tasks like design, coding, testing.

Q19. What is version control?

Version Control = Managing changes in software source code.

Tools: Git, SVN.

Q20. Difference between Verification and Validation.

Verification: Are we building the product right?

Validation: Are we building the right product?
