Software Development Lifecycle Quiz

What is the first stage in the software development lifecycle?

• Design

• Specification

• Implementation

• Evolution

Which stage in the software development process focuses on testing and ensuring the quality of the software?

• Design

• Validation

• Evolution

• Specification

Which stage occurs after the software has been released and requires improvements or modifications?

• Specification

• Validation

• Evolution

• Implementation

In a plan-driven process, how is progress typically measured?

• Through customer feedback

• Against a predefined plan

• Based on incremental changes

• By the number of software iterations completed

Which statement is true about real-world software development processes?

• They are exclusively plan-driven

• They are exclusively agile

• They often combine elements of both plan-driven and agile approaches

• There is only one right way to develop software

What is the overall goal of real software processes?

• To create inter-leaved sequences of activities.

• To specify, design, implement, and test a software system.

• To focus on technical activities only.

• To organize activities differently in different processes.

Which of the following is NOT one of the four basic process activities?

• Specification

• Development

• Validation

• Management

How are the four basic process activities organized in different development processes?

• They are always organized in the same sequence.

• They are organized randomly

• They are organized differently depending on the specific process.

• They are not important for different development processes.

Which of the following software processes primarily relies on a predefined plan and measures progress against that plan?

• Agile Process

• Plan-driven Process

• Hybrid Process

• Incremental Process

What is agile processes?

• Processes where all the process activities are planned, and progress is measured against this plan.

• Planning is incremental, and it is easier to change the process to reflect changing customer requirements.

• Process focuses on breaking down work into smaller, manageable chunks.

• It's a flexible and adaptive cycle that continuously refines and improves the product.
