Software development Questions

What is the purpose of a development life cycle?

• To create a structured approach to software development

• To ensure that software is developed as quickly as possible

• To reduce the need for testing

• To eliminate the need for documentation

Which of the following is a type of software development life cycle?

• Sequential development

• Random development

• Chaotic development

• Disorganized development

Which of the following is a benefit of iterative development?

• It requires less documentation

• It is less time-consuming

• It allows for changes to be made throughout the development process

• It eliminates the need for testing

What is the purpose of a structure chart?

• To document the program's state transitions

•  To decompose a problem into sub-tasks and express the parameters passed between the various modules/procedures/functions which are part of the algorithm design

• To select appropriate data for a given testing method

What is the purpose of a state-transition diagram?

• To document the program's state transitions

• To decompose a problem into sub-tasks and express the parameters passed between the various modules/procedures/functions which are part of the algorithm design

• To identify the different types of errors in a program

• To select appropriate data for a given testing method

What is the purpose of a test plan?

• To identify the different types of errors in a program

• To eliminate the need for testing

• To ensure that testing is carried out in a structured and systematic way

• To select appropriate data for a given testing method

Which of the following is a benefit of white-box testing?

• It requires less documentation

• It is less time-consuming

•  It is less prone to errors

• It allows for a thorough analysis of the program's internal workings
