Computer Software Development

What is the purpose of version control systems in software development?

• Version control systems are used to slow down the development process

• Version control systems are only necessary for individual developers

• The purpose of version control systems in software development is to track changes to code, collaborate with team members, revert to previous versions, and maintain a history of modifications.

• Version control systems do not allow collaboration among team members

Explain the difference between waterfall and agile software development methodologies.

• In waterfall, teams work independently without communication, while in agile, there is no team collaboration.

• Agile methodology involves a strict hierarchy of decision-making, unlike waterfall.

• Waterfall methodology is faster than agile in delivering projects, while agile is slower.

• In waterfall, the entire project is planned upfront, while in agile, requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration with cross-functional teams.

What is the role of a software architect in the development process?

• Designing the overall structure of the software system, making high-level design choices, defining technical standards, and ensuring the system meets required quality attributes.

• Managing the project timeline and budget

• Writing code for the software system

• Providing customer support for the software

Describe the concept of object-oriented programming and its benefits.

• Object-oriented programming provides benefits such as code reusability, scalability, modularity, easier maintenance, and encapsulation of data and behavior within objects.

• Object-oriented programming does not allow for code reusability

• Object-oriented programming is not scalable

• Object-oriented programming does not encapsulate data and behavior within objects

What are the key steps involved in the software development life cycle?

• Planning, Execution, Review, Deployment, Maintenance

• Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Support

• Analysis, Development, Testing, Deployment, Upkeep

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