Deck 1: Software Engineering and Development: Processes, Strategies, and Metrics

Question 1

How does software configuration management differ for Web and Mobile Apps?

Answer 1

The "code and go" philosophy dominates App development.So SCM for Apps must be an agile process.Documentation and review of changes is done on an as needed basis depending on the risk associated with the work products being changed.

Question 2

Describe three partitioning strategies that can be used when performing class level testing for OO systems.

Answer 2

State-based partitioning - tests designed so that operations that cause state changes are tested separately from those that do not
Attribute-based partitioning - for each class attribute,operations are classified according to those that use the attribute,those that modify it,and those that do not use or modify the attribute
Category-based partitioning - operations are categorized according to the function performed: initialization,computation,query,or termination

Question 3

Describe steps needs to create a threat model.

Answer 3

-Identify assets
-Create architectural overview
-Decompose application
-Identify threats
-Document threats
-Rate threats
