False

When testing, you are trying to find where the behavior of the software is correct.

False

Heterogeneity

Which of the following is not included in the waterfall model?

__________ is a software process in which the system is developed as a series of versions where additional functionality is added in subsequent versions.

Incremental development

__________ relies on reusable components of systems. The process focuses on configuring these components assimilating these into a new system.

Integration of configuration

None of the above

_____________ risks arise from individuals on the development team.

People

___________ are requirements that specify or contstrain the runtime behavior of the software.

Product

The project plan in a plan driven approach to software development, the _________ shows the dependencies between activities.

Project schedule

When planning a project you indicate who will work on a project and how the project is broken down into increments during the _____________

Project startup phase

During the _______________ you plan if you have the resources to complete the work and work out the price that you should quote the customer.

Proposal stage

_____________ is the process of interacting with stakeholders of the system to discover their requirements.

Requirements discovery and understanding

The process of deriving the system requirements through obervation of existing systems is __________

Requirements elicitation and analysis

______________ is the activity of translating information gathered during requirements analysis into a document that defines a set of requirements.

Requirements specification

During the ______________ process, you have to consider each risk and make a judgment about the probability and seriousness of each risk.

Risk Analysis

In risk management, ___________ results in a prioritized list of risks.

Risk Analysis

___________ has to be developed on a wide range of computers from embedded systems and wearable devices to cloud based software systems that serve a global community.

Scale Software

_______ are applications that run on a personal computer of a mobile device.

Stand alone applications

_______ are systems used in enterprises and other large organizations that are composed of a number of software systems.

Systems of systems

Which of the following are NOT a characteristic of agile development:

The development processes (ex. specification, design and implementation) are done totally separately and one stage is completed before the next stage is begun.

Which of the following is not and advantage of incremental development over the waterfall model?

The process is not visible

Because of past experience with buggy software, users sometimes have low expectations of software quality.

True

If the software being developed is a consumer product, formal records of project management decisions are unnecessary.

True

In extreme programming, you develop (program) the tests before your write code and then use those tests to validate your code.

True

In the "price to win" software pricing strategy, a project cost is agreed upon by an outlined proposal and then negotiations take place between customer and client to establish the detailed proposal constrained by the agreed cost.

True

Non-functional system requirements are statements of what services the system should provide.

True

One of the issues with agile develpment is that it does not include a requirements analysis document; therefore, it is difficult to access the impact of proposed system changes.
