Briefly describe the software-engineering principle of "rigor and formality" and give an example of a software-engineering task or concept that demonstrates this principle.

The principle of rigor and formality is to kind of have rules in the process of creating something so the flow of working is a lot smother. An example of this could be testing and fixing errors before moving on to the next part to have better quality software.

In user-centered design, a storyboard is:

A series of pictures shown in sequence to visualize the user experience and interaction

The web's page should provide some space for online advertising so that the advertising place could be sold to other commercial companies. C. Customers can not only purchase tickets but also join the waiting list if the tickets are temporarily sold out. D. The web should support people with reading disabilities so that they could purchase the tickets smoothly.

Briefly describe the software-engineering principle of "abstraction" and give an example of a software-engineering task or concept that demonstrates this principle.

Abstraction is hiding certain complex details while at the say time focusing and prioritizing others. An example of this is hiding the idea of how computers function in 1's and 0's and focusing on the code that you are writing on the computer and the outcome of that rather than the more complex idea of how all your code is just 1's and 0's in the computer.

In the requirements document, if you were to describe the list of desired features of the software and how they should work, into which section would they most likely go? A. Assumptions/Risks B. Software qualities C. application context D. functional requirements E. future changes

Software Qualities

Briefly describe the software-engineering principle of "generality" and give an example of a software-engineering task or concept that demonstrates this principle.

The principle of generality is to be efficient with what is being built in the sense that what you are doing is reusable so it can be applied to other projects. An example of this can be reusing code and interfaces to make a new model. For instance a car, the general components can be used and just add to that to improve it.

Briefly describe the software-engineering principle of "incrementality" and give an example of a software-engineering task or concept that demonstrates this principle

The principle of incrementality is doing the work in steps or batches. It is starting with one small part of the project and adding on to it until it becomes more of what your expected outcome. An example of this is versions of something being built. Start with a version that has the minimum parts for it to work and begin releasing other version that contain additions.
