[SE] 0. Software Engineering Overview

What is the primary goal of software engineering?

• To write code quickly

• To create software that is efficient, reliable, and maintainable

• To ensure software is free of bugs

• To develop software with as many features as possible

What is the primary goal of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

• To produce high-quality software

• To maximize developer productivity

• To minimize project cost

• To deliver software quickly

Which of the following is NOT a software development life cycle (SDLC) model?

• Waterfall model

• Agile development

• Spiral model

• Linear regression

What is a "functional requirement" in the context of software engineering?

• Describes how the system will perform a specific function

• Describes the overall structure of the software

• Lists the hardware requirements for the system

• Specifies the project schedule

Which of the following is an example of a non-functional requirement?

• The software should allow users to reset their passwords

• The software should load the homepage within 2 seconds

• The software should support user authentication

• The software should provide a search functionality

What is the role of stakeholders in the requirements engineering process?

• To write code for the software

• To test the software for defects

• To identify, prioritize, and validate requirements

• To document the architecture of the system

What does 'UML' stand for in software engineering?

• Universal Modeling Language

• Unified Modeling Language

• Unique Modeling Language

• User Modeling Language

What is the purpose of a Use Case in Software Requirement Engineering?

• To describe the overall architecture of the system

• To list the technical specifications of the software

• To illustrate how users interact with the system

• To identify bugs in the code

What is the role of a 'software architect'?

• Writing detailed code

• Testing the software

• Defining the overall structure and design of the software system

• Managing the development team

What is 'refactoring' in software development?

• Improving the internal structure of the code

• Rewriting the software from scratch

• Adding new features to the software

• Documenting the software design
