PDS - 04225 Week 2 - Phases of Software Development - Chapter 1

What are the phases of software Development?.

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing & Integration, Maintenance.

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Testing & Integration, Maintenance.

• Design, Implementation and Maintenance

• None of the above

What are Data Structures?.

• Disorganized collection of data.

• Programming Structures that produce an output.

• Variables that hold data

• Organized collections of Data

Do you have to select the programming language before working on the SDLC Phases?.

• Yes

• No

Algorithm is a:

• Object Oriented Programming Language

• Procedure used to implement a program.

• Set of instructions for solving a problem.

• None of the above.

Top Down is:

• Writing small pieces of code to make a larger one.

• Breaking a problem into smaller problems or sub-tasks.

• Treating larger problems as an entity.

• Writing a problem from top to bottom.

Pseudo code is written in:

• C++.

• Java.

• English.

• Mix of English and a programming language.

It is the process that transforms the design into a program.

• Planning

• Maintenance

• Implementation

• Analysis

Running time analysis

• Validates that a program compiles properly.

• Sequence of steps to solve a problem.

• Consist of reasoning about an algorithms speed.

• Is a timer that you add to a program.

Big O notation is used to:

• Write a program.

• Formulate the steps to solve a problem

• Write algorithms.

• Help identify the time complexity (effectiveness / performance) of an algorithm

What 2 steps of the SDLC produce the specifications?.

• Planning and Analysis

• Design and Implementation

• Testing and Integration

• Maintenance and Planning
