Software Engineering

What are the phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance, Review

• Initiation, Development, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Review

Explain the Waterfall model in software development.

• The Waterfall model in software development is a linear sequential process where progress flows steadily downwards through various phases.

• The Waterfall model is a flexible and adaptive approach

• The Waterfall model involves simultaneous progress in all phases

• The Waterfall model allows for iterative development

What is the main principle behind agile development?

• Working in isolation without collaboration

• Prioritizing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change.

• Prioritizing technology over individuals

• Ignoring customer feedback and requests

List some common agile methodologies used in software development.

• Spiral model

• Agile

• Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean

• Waterfall

What is requirement engineering in software development?

• Requirement engineering is the process of designing software interfaces.

• Requirement engineering in software development is the process of eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and managing requirements.

• Requirement engineering involves testing software functionalities.

• Requirement engineering focuses on hardware development.

Why is requirement engineering important in the software development process?

• Requirement engineering is not important in software development

• Requirement engineering ensures that the software developed aligns with the needs and expectations of stakeholders, reducing the risk of project failure and providing a clear roadmap for development.

• Stakeholder needs and expectations are irrelevant in software development

• Project failure is not a risk in software development

Describe the V-Model in software development.

• The V-Model in software development is an agile methodology that focuses on rapid prototyping.

• The V-Model in software development is a waterfall model with no room for flexibility or iteration.

• The V-Model in software development is a sequential path of the development process, emphasizing a step-by-step approach where each phase must be completed before the next one begins.

• The V-Model in software development is a circular process where each phase can be revisited multiple times.

Differentiate between Scrum and Kanban.

• Scrum and Kanban have the same workflow structure

• Scrum is based on iterations with fixed lengths, while Kanban is based on continuous flow with no predefined timeboxes.

• Scrum and Kanban do not focus on continuous improvement

• Scrum and Kanban are both based on fixed timeboxes

What is the purpose of a User Story in agile development?

• User Stories capture requirements from an end-user perspective and guide development efforts.

• User Stories are not important in agile development.

• User Stories are only used for documentation purposes.

• User Stories are created after the project is completed.

Explain the concept of Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in agile development.

• MVP in agile development is about creating a basic version of a product with essential features to test the market and gather feedback for further iterations.

• MVP is focused on including all possible features in the first release

• MVP is only applicable to waterfall development

• MVP is about creating a fully-featured product from the start
