Software Development Models Quiz

Which model is based on a rigid sequential approach where each phase must be completed before the next begins?

• Incremental Model

• Spiral Model

• Agile Model

• Waterfall Model

In the Incremental Model, software is developed in:

• A single iteration

• A linear sequence of phases

• A single functional prototype

• Small, manageable increments

What is the main advantage of the Spiral Model?

• It is easy to use for small projects

• It avoids iterative cycles

• It eliminates the need for risk analysis

• Explicit recognition and mitigation of risk

The COCOMO model is used for:

• Software Testing

• Risk Analysis

• Quality Assurance

• Effort Estimation

Which type of project is classified as 'Organic' in the COCOMO model?

• Real-time software with high constraints

• Complex systems with a mix of experience

• Small, simple projects with experienced teams

• Projects with unstable and not straightforward requirements

Which of the following is a characteristic of Adaptive Software Development (ASD)?

• It emphasizes strict planning at the start

• Requirements are fixed throughout the project

• High-level risks are ignored

• Focuses on speculation, collaboration, and learning

Which Agile model uses 'sprints' to deliver working software?

• Extreme Programming (XP)

• Adaptive Software Development (ASD)

• Feature-Driven Development (FDD)

• Scrum

What is the purpose of the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document?

• To define algorithms for implementation

• To describe only functional requirements

• To replace the design document

• To outline functional and non-functional requirements

Which umbrella activity ensures the consistency and traceability of changes made to software artifacts?

• Risk Management

• Software Quality Assurance (SQA)

• Documentation

• Software Configuration Management (SCM)

Which phase of the Spiral Model involves creating prototypes for understanding risks?

• Development Planning

• Deployment and Maintenance

• Final Testing

• Risk Analysis and Prototyping
