1. What is Feature point? Feature point, an extension of function point is a superset of the function point measure that can be applied to systems and engineering software application. The feature point measure accommodates applications in which algorithmic complexity is high. Real-time, process control and embedded software applications tend to have high algorithmic complexity [...]

1. Give the IEEE standard definitions for a metric. Metric is defined as “a Quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a give attribute” 2. What is an indicator? An indicator is a metric or combination of metrics that provide insight into the software process, a software project or [...]

Rank the coupling between modules on a scale of strongest to weakest. § Content coupling § Common coupling § Control coupling § Stamp coupling § Data coupling Define Content coupling. Content coupling occurs when one module modifies local data values or instructions in another module. Define stamp coupling. When modules are bound together by global [...]

What is software design? Software design is an iterative process through which requirements are translated into a “blueprint” for constructing the software. It is the meaningful engineering representation of something to be built. What is data design? The data design transforms the information domain model created during analysis into the data structures that will be [...]

What is 40 – 20 – 40 rule? It is the distribution of effort across the definition and development phases, ie forty percent of all effort is allocated to front end analysis and design and forty percent is applied to back end testing and twenty percent of effort is applied to coding. Mention the four [...]

What is MOI model of leadership? MOI model of leadership: § Motivation: The ability to encourage technical people to produce to their best ability § Organization: The ability to mold existing processes that will enable the initial concept to be translated into a final product. § Ideas or Innovation: The ability to encourage people to [...]

What is Software Engineering? Software Engineering is the technological and managerial discipline concerned with systematic production and maintenance of software products that are developed and modified on time and within cost estimates. Give the IEEE standard definition for software engineering? Software Engineering is the study and the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to [...]
