u4-b1b-Understanding the Software Development Life Cycle

What is the first stage in the software development life cycle?

• Design specification

• Assessment of requirements

• Implementation

• Maintenance

Which of the following is a key component of the design specification stage?

• Developing code

• Testing

• User interface design

• Maintenance

What type of testing involves testing the internal structures or workings of an application?

• Black box testing

• White box testing

• User acceptance testing

• Regression testing

Which stage of the software development life cycle involves writing the actual code?

• Design specification

• Implementation

• Develop code

• Maintenance

What is the purpose of the maintenance stage in the software development life cycle?

• To assess requirements

• To design the user interface

• To correct, adapt, and increase functionality

• To implement the code

Which of the following is an example of adaptive maintenance?

• Fixing a bug in the software

• Adding a new feature to the software

• Updating the software to work with a new operating system

• Improving the user interface

What is the main focus during the implementation stage of the software development life cycle?

• Writing code

• Testing the software

• Deploying the software to users

• Designing the software

Which type of testing focuses on the functionality of the software without looking at the internal code structure?

• White box testing

• Black box testing

• Unit testing

• Integration testing

What is the primary goal of the assessment of requirements stage?

• To create a detailed design specification

• To identify and understand the problem to be solved

• To write and test code

• To maintain the software

Which of the following is NOT typically included in a design specification?

• Scope

• Inputs/Outputs

• Code implementation

• Timescales
