Question 5

_______ is classified into Functional and Non-functional.
A)project.
B)requirements.
C)start date. .
D)risk

Accepted Answer

Requirements in software engineering are classified into Functional and Non-functional, where Functional requirements define what the system should do, and Non-functional requirements specify how the system performs a function.

Question 6

________ is some thing that is described by a set of attributes (data items) and that will be manipulated within the software (system).
A)instance.
B)class.
C)object.
D)data.

Accepted Answer

An object in software development is an instance of a class that is defined by its attributes (data items) and behaviors (methods). It represents an entity that can be manipulated within the software system.

Question 7

A _________ contains a set of attributes that act as an aspect, quality, characteristic, or descriptor of the object.
A)ordinary object.
B)data object.
C)template.
D)instance.

Accepted Answer

A data object contains a set of attributes that act as an aspect, quality, characteristic, or descriptor of the object, distinguishing it from ordinary objects, templates, and instances in the context of data modeling and programming.

Question 8

________ is the diagrammatic form for Flow oriented Modelling.
A)functional diagrams.
B)er diagrams.
C)data flow diagrams.
D)system flow diagrams.

Accepted Answer

Data flow diagrams are the diagrammatic form used for Flow oriented Modelling, as they focus on the flow of data within a system.

Question 9

_________ is the sub-characteristics of efficiency.
A)understandability.
B)learnability.
C)resource utilization.
D)accuracy.

Accepted Answer

Resource utilization is a sub-characteristic of efficiency, as it refers to the effective use of resources (such as time and system resources) when a software system performs its functions.

Question 10

Level 0 data flow diagrams are otherwise known as _______ .
A)functional diagrams.
B)er diagrams.
C)data flow diagrams.
D)context flow diagrams.

Accepted Answer

Level 0 data flow diagrams are also known as context flow diagrams because they provide a high-level overview of the system, showing the system as a single process with its interactions with external entities.

Question 11

_______ refers to the ability of the software to interact with other systems.
A)interoperability.
B)reliability.
C)functionality.
D)efficiency.

Accepted Answer

Interoperability is the ability of different systems, devices, applications, or products to connect and communicate in a coordinated way, without effort from the end user. It enables software to interact and exchange information with other systems.

Question 12

_______ is a modular building block for computer software.
A)control.
B)flow.
C)process.
D)component.

Accepted Answer

Components are modular building blocks for computer software, designed to encapsulate certain functionality or a set of functionalities with interfaces allowing them to be integrated into larger software systems.

Question 13

A ________ specification is concerned with how much is to spent on the system.
A)functional.
B)quality.
C)resource.
D)scope.

Accepted Answer

A resource specification outlines the budget or resources allocated for a system, including how much is to be spent on it.

Question 14

A ________ specification is concerned with how well the functions are to operate.
A)functional.
B)quality.
C)resource.
D)scope.

Accepted Answer

Quality specifications focus on how well the functions should operate, addressing the performance, reliability, and efficiency of the system or product.

Question 15

_______ is a qualitative measure of the degree to which classes are connected to one another.
A)cohesion.
B)coupling.
C)control.
D)coordination.

Accepted Answer

Coupling is a qualitative measure that describes how closely connected different classes or modules are within a system. Lower coupling is generally desirable as it indicates a system where components are relatively independent, making it easier to understand, modify, and maintain.

Question 16

In _________ stage, the entry, exit and process requirements are identified for each activity.
A)review and publicize plan.
B)identify project scope and objectives.
C)analyse project.
D)identify the products and activities of the project.

Accepted Answer

In the stage where the products and activities of the project are identified, it is crucial to define the entry, exit, and process requirements for each activity to ensure clear understanding and efficient execution.

Question 17

___________ is also a part of design modelling.
A)user interface design.
B)testing.
C)behaviour model.
D)analysis.

Accepted Answer

User interface design is a part of design modelling as it involves creating the visual and interactive aspects of a system, which are integral to the design process.
