PART- B (5 x 13 = 65 Marks)
(Restrict to a maximum of 2 subdivisions)
Q. No Questions Marks CO BL
11 (a) (i) List and describe the characteristics of a software project where 13 CO1 L1
the selection of an Agile software development process is most
appropriate.
OR
11 (b) (i) Combine the process models and provide a new software 13 CO1 L6
development process model. Explain with suitable examples.
12 (a) (i) Develop a complete use case diagram for Contact tracking for 13 CO2 L3
COVID 19.
OR
12 (b) (i) With a suitable example, explain Requirements elicitation? 13 CO3 L2
13 (a) (i) Explain behavioral model with an example. 13 CO4 L1
OR
13 (b) (i) Explain Peer-to-Peer architecture style with a suitable example. 7 CO4 L2
(ii) Compare and contrast architecture style, architecture patterns 6 CO3 L2
and frameworks.
14 (a) (i) Write a program that reads three integer values (length of the 13 CO5 L4
sides of a triangle). The program must print the states whether
the triangle is scalene, isosceles or equilateral triangle.
Derive a flow graph and apply basic path testing to develop test
cases to guarantee all the statements in the program have been
tested. Execute the cases and show the result.
OR
14 (b) (i) Explain the test strategies for conventional software. 13 CO5 L5
15 (a) (i) With an example, explain the metrics used to measure the 13 CO6 L2
various functions of a software application?
OR
15 (b) (i) Discuss the reasons why large software systems often take 13 CO6 L4
longer to implement than planned and do not perform as well as
expected.
PART- C (1 x 15 = 15 Marks)
(Q.No.16 is compulsory)
Q. No Questions Marks CO BL
16. (i) You are developing control software for a car whose latest model
will have a network connection. Software upgrades will be
delivered over the air rather than at service visits, so that any
security vulnerabilities can be patched quickly. This in turn means 15 CO2 L6
that you will have to provide patches, to deal with both security
and safety issues for the next 25 years. Discuss how this is likely
to affect your development process, and the implications it will
have for costs.
