Software Engineering Quiz

What is software engineering?

• Software engineering is the application of engineering principles to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of software.

• Software engineering does not involve testing or evaluation

• Software engineering is only focused on coding

• Software engineering is the process of creating physical products

Explain the concept of requirement engineering.

• Requirement engineering is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process.

• Requirement engineering is only necessary for small-scale projects

• Requirement engineering is the process of designing software without considering user needs

• Requirement engineering is a one-time activity and does not need to be revisited

What is software design and why is it important?

• Software design is only important for aesthetic purposes

• Software design is only important for large companies

• Software design is important for defining the structure and behavior of a software system to ensure it meets user requirements and is maintainable.

• Software design is not necessary for software development

Define the term 'use case' in software development.

• A 'use case' in software development is a tool for debugging code.

• A 'use case' in software development is a scenario where users never interact with the software.

• A 'use case' in software development is a description of how users will interact with a software application to achieve a specific goal.

• A 'use case' in software development is a type of suitcase used by developers.

What is a class diagram and how is it used in software design?

• A class diagram is a visual representation of the structure and relationships of classes in a system. It is used in software design to plan and organize the structure of a program.

• A class diagram is used in software design to create music playlists

• A class diagram is a type of software bug

• A class diagram is a tool for drawing landscapes

What is software testing and why is it necessary?

• Software testing is only done after the software is released

• Software testing is necessary to identify defects, ensure quality, and provide confidence in the software's reliability.

• Software testing is a waste of time and resources

• Software testing is only necessary for large companies

Explain the concepts of CMMI and ISO in software development.

• CMMI focuses on process improvement, while ISO defines requirements for quality management systems in software development.

• CMMI is a programming language, while ISO is a hardware standard.

• CMMI focuses on hardware development, while ISO focuses on software development.

• CMMI and ISO are interchangeable terms in software development.

What is Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and its significance?

• SQA is only necessary for large companies

• SQA is primarily focused on increasing development costs

• SQA is essential for delivering reliable and high-quality software products, reducing costs by catching defects early in the development process, and increasing customer satisfaction.

• SQA is a one-time process with no ongoing benefits

Differentiate between black box testing and white box testing.

• Black box testing focuses on testing the internal code structure, while white box testing focuses on functionality

• Black box testing tests the functionality without knowledge of internal code, while white box testing tests internal code structure and logic.

• Black box testing is only applicable to front-end testing, while white box testing is for back-end testing

• Black box testing requires knowledge of internal code, while white box testing does not

Describe the scrum methodology in software development.

• Scrum is a hardware development methodology.

• Scrum is a methodology that does not involve iterative development.

• Scrum is an agile methodology in software development that emphasizes iterative and incremental development.
