What sets Umbrella Activities apart from the
activities executed during each of
the six generic SDLC phases? - correct answer-
An Umbrella Activity is executed throughout the
entire project i.e. across all
phases of the generic SDLC.
Describe the characteristics of "Programming in
the Small" vs "Programming in
the Large" as described in the Wikipedia page "
Programming in the large and
programming in the small". - correct answer-
Programming in the Small describes a software
project that is being executed by
a single or few developers over a period of weeks
or few months. The system is
relatively simple and there are few requirements.
Programming in the small
, requires little discipline and does not require
following a software engineering
process.
Programming in the Large describes a software
project that is being executed by
many developers (>5) over a period of several
months. The system is complex
so there are many requirements whose
implementation will involve building a
large amount of code. This type of project
requires the discipline of a software
engineering process.
Applying 'Engineering Discipline' to software
engineering implies problem solving
by a repeatable process that involves what four
activities? - correct answer-1. Understanding the
problem.
2. Designing and planning a solution to the
problem.
3. Executing the solution in a predictable /
scheduled lifecycle e.g. writing an
application over a predicted period of time.
4. Ensuring that the solution is useful and safe.
