- A. Object Oriented Design (by Booch)
- B. Use Cases (by Jacobson)
- C. Fusion (by Coleman)
- D. Object Modeling Technique (by Rumbaugh)
Explanation: Jacobson introduced use cases as a way to capture user-system interactions and provide a functional view of the system during elicitation…
Correct answer: Use Cases (by Jacobson)- A. Availability
- B. Testability
- C. Usability
- D. Flexibility
Explanation: Testability is a developer-oriented requirement because it specifies how easily the software can be checked against its requirements.
Correct answer: Testability- A. It is a degree to which software running on one platform can easily be converted to run on another platform
- B. It cannot be enhanced by using languages, OS' and tools that are universally available and standardized
- C. The ability of the system to behave consistently in a user-acceptable manner when operating within the environment for which the system was intended
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: Portability measures how easily software can be moved from one platform or environment to another, including differences in operating…
Correct answer: It is a degree to which software running on one platform can easily be converted to run on another platform- A. Maintainability
- B. Portability
- C. Robustness
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: Maintainability, portability, and robustness describe quality attributes or constraints on the system, so they are non-functional…
Correct answer: None of the mentioned- A. Functional
- B. Non-Functional
- C. Known Requirement
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: Detecting an intrusion and alerting a security company specifies an observable service the system must perform, so it is functional.
Correct answer: Functional- A. True
- B. False
Explanation: Functional requirements describe the services and externally observable behavior the system must provide.
Correct answer: True- A. Two
- B. Three
- C. Four
- D. Five
Explanation: The referenced requirements-engineering classification presents five classification schemes for non-functional requirements.
Correct answer: Five- A. Usability, Reliability, Security, Flexibility
- B. Availability, Reliability, Maintainability, Security
- C. Availability, Reliability, Security, Safety
- D. Security, Safety, Testability, Usability
Explanation: The four dependability dimensions listed here are availability, reliability, security, and safety.
Correct answer: Availability, Reliability, Security, Safety- A. Three
- B. Four
- C. Five
- D. Six
Explanation: The referenced process divides requirements analysis into five phases, commonly including inception, elicitation, elaboration…
Correct answer: Five- A. True
- B. False
- C. Depends upon the size of project
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: Requirements analysis exposes misunderstandings, missing needs, and conflicting expectations before design and implementation begin.
Correct answer: True- A. Three
- B. Four
- C. Five
- D. Six
Explanation: Coad and Yourdon's object-selection checklist uses six characteristics, including retained information, required services, multiple…
Correct answer: Six- A. True
- B. False
Explanation: Requirements describe the services, behavior, and constraints the system must provide, which is the “what.” The implementation approach…
Correct answer: True- A. True
- B. False
Explanation: Requirements analysis is iterative because requirements are repeatedly examined, clarified, prioritized, and negotiated as stakeholders…
Correct answer: True- A. True
- B. False
Explanation: Traceability is considered during requirements analysis because each requirement should be linked to its source, related requirements…
Correct answer: False- A. Two
- B. Three
- C. Four
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: A feasibility assessment commonly examines three dimensions: technical feasibility, economic or financial feasibility, and operational…
Correct answer: Three- A. System responds within 4 seconds on average to local user requests and changes in the environment
- B. System responds within 4 seconds on average to remote user requests and changes in the environment
- C. All of the mentioned
- D. None of the mentioned
Explanation: The RUP-style example specifies a measurable response-time requirement for remote users, making the non-functional requirement testable.
Correct answer: System responds within 4 seconds on average to remote user requests and changes in the environment- A. Testability
- B. Speed Efficiency
- C. Serviceability
- D. Installability
Explanation: In FURPS+, S represents supportability, including testability, serviceability, and installability.
Correct answer: Speed Efficiency- A. Product-oriented Approach - Focus on system (or softwarE. quality
- B. Process-oriented Approach - Focus on how NFRs can be used in the design process
- C. Quantitative Approach - Find measurable scales for the functionality attributes
- D. Qualitative Approach - Study various relationships between quality goals
Explanation: The quantitative approach seeks measurable scales for quality attributes such as response time, reliability, or usability, not for…
Correct answer: Quantitative Approach - Find measurable scales for the functionality attributes- A. System Analyst
- B. Scribe
- C. Facilitator
- D. Manager
Explanation: The facilitator manages the FAST meeting by guiding discussion, keeping participants focused, and resolving procedural issues.
Correct answer: Facilitator- A. It incorporates human element into design
- B. SSM is in its infant stage
- C. SSM is suitable for new systems
- D. Standard methodologies like Role Exploration, Issue Resolution and Reorganization support SSM
