Software Engineering

1. Explain the steps in taking urgent actions.

2. Data collected (for monitoring) should be reliable, accurate and valid. Suppose we have collected error data on Requirements Inspection, Design Inspection and Unit Testing and want to analyze them for “quality.”

(a) What would be the potential reliability problem?

(b) What would be the potential accuracy problem?

(c) What would be the potential validity problem?

3. Explain activity-based and attribute-based information collection methods and give an example of activity based method (different from examples given in your textbook and slides posted.)

4. (a) What is a Release Management Council?

(b) List main activities of a RMC.

5. Using function point methodology, compute the unadjusted function point for an average project that has 10 external inputs, 7 external outputs, 5 external inquiries, 3 internal logical files, and 4 external interface files.

6. Define a goal for software product availability and carefully explain how you could show that the goal is validatable and verifiable.

Explanation / Answer

2.(a) What would be the potential reliability problem?
If the error data on Requirements Inspection, Design Inspection and Unit Testing and want to analyze them for quality then potential reliability problem will be in a big problem beacuse there wont be Improve component reliability.

And Establish quality and reliability requirements for suppliers will be a problem and Collect field data and
we need to find out root causes of failures.

2.(b) What would be the potential accuracy problem?

If the error data on Requirements Inspection, Design Inspection and Unit Testing and want to analyze them for quality then the potential accuracy problem required for protein folding simulations using a combination of theoretical considerations and lattice model simulations.

The results indicate that potentials do not need to be extremely accurate in order to be useful in computational studies

Results from different groups can be interpreted as an indication that available potentials are too inaccurate for
ab-initio simulations but not far from the permissive limit required for structure recognition.

2.(c) What would be the potential validity problem?

If the error data on Requirements Inspection, Design Inspection and Unit Testing and want to analyze them for quality then the potential validity problem avoid total rejection of any method, and instead take a serious look at the
effectiveness and applicability of current and past methods without making false assumptions.

3. Explain activity-based and attribute-based information collection methods and give an example of activity based method (different from examples given in your textbook and slides posted.)

Activity based method is a method which approach gathers information about an attribute based on the activities
performed to achieve the goal of that attribute.

Where the attribute based method approach gather information about an attribute based on a metric defined to
measure the attainment of the goal for that attribute.

Example:
Calculating the Range of Data value
Calculating the Date trends
Calculating the Median value

4.(a) What is a Release Management Council?

Release management council means checking the new software and hardware in a live environment by planning,
designing,building,testing and deploying.
- Release Manager is the process owner of this process.

* Release Management Council esure that:
- There is knowledge transfer to enable the customers and users to optimize their use of service to
support their business activities.
- Customers, users and service management staff are satisfied with service transition practices and outputs.
- Delivering change faster and at optimum cost and minimized risk
- Successful and on schedule deployment of release package.
- New or changed services are capable of delivering the agreed service requirements.

4.(b) List main activities of a RMC.

- Release Management Support
- Release Build
- Release Deployment
- Early Life Support
- Release Closure

6. Define a goal for software product availability and carefully explain how you could show that the goal is validatable and verifiable.

The goal of the Software product availability is to make sure that all the serivce product are up to date.
Any new version of the software comes into the business then software product availability make note of it and be sure that it is available to the customer who wants to use.

Its like portal where all the software components are available and we go there and with help of authorisation of download we can download them according to our business requirements.

So by using the software product availability we can :
- Planned availability of software
- we can find out the Maintenance durations
- we can find the Upgrade paths
- we can check Platform availability, including database platforms and operating systems
