Software Engineering Questions and Answers

2-

1. Two advantages of using the Rapid Application Development (RAD):

a. Faster delivery of functional software due to iterative and prototype-based development.

b. Enhanced user involvement leading to better alignment with user requirements.

2. Software Quality Assurance (SQA):

Software Quality Assurance ensures that the software development process adheres to

predefined quality standards.

Role: It prevents defects in software by implementing quality control mechanisms and monitoring

every phase of the SDLC.

3. Spiral Model as Win-Win Spiral:

The Spiral Model is termed 'Win-Win' because it emphasizes collaboration between stakeholders,

ensuring mutual agreement on project objectives, risks, and solutions.

4. Significance of project scheduling in software project management:

It helps allocate resources effectively, meet deadlines, and ensure systematic progress,

minimizing delays and cost overruns.

5. Role of a software project manager:

- Planning, executing, and monitoring the project.

- Managing resources and team dynamics.

- Risk identification and mitigation.

- Ensuring timely delivery within budget.


6. Flowchart vs DFD:

- Flowchart: Visual representation of workflows or processes, emphasizing sequential steps.

- DFD (Data Flow Diagram): Focuses on how data moves through a system, detailing data inputs,

processes, and outputs.

7. Software Prototype:

A software prototype is an initial, simplified version of a system.

Used for: Understanding requirements, user feedback, and identifying design flaws early.

8. Regression Testing:

It ensures that changes or updates in software do not introduce new defects, verifying that existing

functionalities work as intended.

9. Black Box vs White Box Testing:

- Black Box: Tests software functionality without considering internal code structure.

- White Box: Tests internal code logic, structure, and design.

4/5-

1. Importance of Validation Management:

Ensures software meets user expectations and requirements, reducing defects and improving

overall quality.

2. Main steps of SDLC:

- Requirement Analysis

- System Design

- Implementation
- Testing

- Deployment

- Maintenance

3. "Software is developed or engineered, not manufactured":

Unlike physical goods, software development is intellectual and iterative, with focus on design,

coding, and testing rather than mass production.

4. Component-Based Development:

Reuses existing software components, speeding up development and reducing costs.

Difference: Traditional models involve building software from scratch, whereas CBD leverages

pre-built modules.

5. The Scrum Framework:

- Components: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint

Retrospective.

- Effective project management: Encourages adaptability, team collaboration, and incremental

delivery.

6. Types of Testing Environments:

- Development

- Testing/Staging

- Production

7. Software Quality Assurance (SQA):

Principles: Process adherence, defect prevention, and continuous improvement.

Contribution: SQA ensures software reliability and quality through systematic checks, standards,
and reviews.

8. Risks in Software Development:

- Technical risks (e.g., technology obsolescence)

- Project risks (e.g., poor scheduling)

- Business risks (e.g., changing requirements)

9. Logical DFD vs Physical DFD:

- Logical DFD: Focuses on what the system does (processes and data flow).

- Physical DFD: Details how the system is implemented (hardware, software, data stores).
