Chapter 2: The Basics: Software Development Activities

1. What is the primary goal of software requirements definition?

• To test the final software

• To identify and document the system’s features and specifications

• To deploy the system to production

• To write the source code for the software

2. What is the purpose of business modeling in software development?

• To document only the software requirements

• To understand and map how an organization operates

• To perform user acceptance testing

• To develop the final version of the software

3. Which of the following is NOT a key activity in business modeling?

• Mapping the organizational structure

• Modeling business processes

• Mapping business entities

• Writing detailed programming code

4. In software design, what is the purpose of system architecture?

• To define how the system will meet requirements

• To fix security vulnerabilities

• To only focus on user experience

• To test if the system works in production

5. What is the main focus of the implementation phase?

• Writing, integrating, and testing software components

• Mapping the IT infrastructure

• Conducting stakeholder meetings

• Performing business modeling

6. What is the difference between verification and validation?

• Veri.. ensures the system meets specs; valid.. ensures it meets user needs.

• Verification happens before development; validation happens after

• Validation is performed only by the development team

• They are both terms for the same process

7. What type of testing ensures that different components of a system work together correctly?

• Unit testing

• Integration testing

• User acceptance testing

• Regression testing

8. What is a common strategy for software deployment?

• Immediate full-scale rollout

• Phased or incremental deployment

• Skipping the deployment phase

• Rewriting all requirements before deployment

9. Why is post-deployment monitoring important?

• To redesign the software from scratch

• To replace developers with AI

• To identify performance issues and security vulnerabilities

• To remove all user feedback from the system

10. What is a key activity in software maintenance?

• Writing a new project proposal

• Only responding to major crashes

• Completely replacing the software every year

• Debugging and updating software to improve performance
