L7 Design methodologies quiz 2

Which of the following is NOT typically a part of the software development process as described in the learning material?

• Specification

• Development

• Marketing

• Validation

What is the primary purpose of software development models according to the material?

• To provide a high level, abstract representation of software development

• To write code for software

• To test software performance

• To market software products

Which two generic models of software development are mentioned in the material?

• Waterfall model and Spiral model

• Waterfall model and Evolutionary model

• Agile model and V-model

• Incremental model and Prototyping model

If a project is currently at the "Detailed Design" phase in the Waterfall model, which phase will it proceed to next?

• Coding

• Unit Testing

• High Level Design

• Integration Testing

Which of the following best describes the sequence of phases in the Waterfall model?

• Each phase is completed before the next starts

• All phases are completed simultaneously

• Phases are repeated in a random order

• Only the last phase is completed

A developer is running a suite of tests that represent intended usage and include extremes. Which testing phase is this most likely to be?

• Unit Testing

• Integration Testing

• System & Acceptance Testing

• Regression Testing

Which statement best describes a requirement for a new software development model?

• All phases must be completed before testing

• Process phases can be iterative

• Specification cannot change once set

• Testing is only done at the end

Which of the following best describes the starting point for exploratory development in the evolutionary model of prototyping?

• Starting point established from requirements

• Starting point established from user interface design

• Starting point established from coding standards

• Starting point established from testing procedures

Why is customer or end-user feedback important in exploratory development?

• It helps to finalize the first version of the system

• It is used to evaluate and improve subsequent generations of the system

• It is only needed at the end of the project

• It is not necessary for the evolutionary model

How does throwaway prototyping aid in the development process?

• By defining requirements and specifications through evaluation of partial implementations

• By skipping the requirements phase

• By focusing only on coding

• By avoiding user involvement
