What is Agile development and how does it differ from traditional software development?

• Agile development follows a rigid and linear approach, while traditional software development focuses on flexibility and customer feedback.

• Agile development focuses on flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback, while traditional software development follows a more rigid and linear approach.

• Agile development focuses on slow progress and minimal collaboration, while traditional software development is fast-paced and highly collaborative.

• Agile development is not concerned with customer feedback, while traditional software development prioritizes collaboration and adaptability.

Explain the importance of software testing in the software development life cycle.

• To ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of the software.

• To slow down the software development process

• To make the software more expensive

• To decrease the number of bugs in the software

Discuss the key components of software architecture and their roles in a software system.

• Input, output, processing, storage

• Algorithms, data structures, programming languages, operating systems

• Hardware, software, firmware, middleware

• Modules, components, connectors, and constraints

What is requirements engineering and why is it important in software development?

• Requirements engineering is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process. It is important in software development to ensure that the software meets the needs and expectations of its users.

• Requirements engineering is the process of marketing software to potential users

• Requirements engineering is the process of testing software for bugs and errors

• Requirements engineering is the process of building physical structures in software development

Explain the concept of software engineering and its relevance in the IT industry.

• Software engineering is the study of gardening techniques

• Software engineering is the process of building physical structures

• Software engineering is the application of engineering principles to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of software. It is relevant in the IT industry as it ensures the efficient and reliable production of high-quality software products.

• Software engineering is the practice of cooking recipes

What is system modelling and how is it used in software engineering?

• System modeling is the process of creating marketing materials for a system. It is used in software engineering to promote the software to potential users.

• System modeling is the process of creating abstract representations of a system to help understand and analyze its behavior. It is used in software engineering to design, visualize, and document the structure and behavior of a software system before it is built.

• System modeling is the process of creating detailed user manuals for a system. It is used in software engineering to provide instructions for using the software.

• System modeling is the process of creating physical prototypes of a system to help understand its behavior. It is used in software engineering to test the final product.

Discuss the process of architectural design in software engineering.

• Writing code without any planning

• Skipping the testing phase

• Implementing the architecture before refining the design

• Identifying requirements, creating a conceptual design, refining the design, and implementing and testing the architecture

Explain the stages involved in software design and implementation.

• Requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance

• Planning, execution, monitoring

• Coding, debugging, deployment

• Analysis, design, testing

What are the key principles of Agile development and how are they applied in practice?

• Iterative development, frequent communication with stakeholders, and adapting to changing requirements

• Sequential development, occasional communication with stakeholders, and resisting changes

• Waterfall development, minimal communication with stakeholders, and sticking to initial requirements

• Random development, no communication with stakeholders, and ignoring changing requirements

Discuss the role of software testing in ensuring the quality and reliability of software products.

• Software testing is too time-consuming and not worth the effort

• Software testing is not necessary for ensuring software quality

• Software testing only focuses on finding minor bugs, not ensuring overall quality

• Software testing helps in identifying defects and ensuring the quality and reliability of software products.
