practical ends.
Software Engineering and Computer Science are the same area of study. - CORRECT
ANSWER False
According to the paper author, professional software development must be engineering, not
science. - CORRECT ANSWER True
Engineering of software is only concerned about quality, not about delivering the product on
time and on budget. - CORRECT ANSWER False
The Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice was developed by... -
CORRECT ANSWER ...the ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Software Engineering Ethics
and Professional Practice.
The software process does not include evolution. - CORRECT ANSWER False
The most significant factor in determining which software engineering methods and techniques
are most important might be the type of application being developed. - CORRECT
ANSWER True
When acceptable, you should reuse software that has already been developed rather than write
new software. - CORRECT ANSWER True
It is usually cheaper, in the long run, to use software engineering methods and techniques for
professional software systems. - CORRECT ANSWER True

can begin. - CORRECT ANSWER True
In applying to software development, the phases of the waterfall model will often overlap. -
CORRECT ANSWER True
The use of the waterfall model often leads to projects being late and over-budget. - CORRECT
ANSWER True
What are the stages of the testing process? - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Development testing
(developers test individual components)
