ASSIGNMENT No. 1
Note: All questions carry equal marks.
Q. 1 a) What are the umbrella activities of a software process? Explain with the help
of diagram.
b) There are frequently severe political repercussions when software
requirements analysis (and/or system analysis) begins. For example, workers
may feel that job security is threatened by a new automated system. What
causes such problems? Can the analysis task be conducted so that politics is
minimized?
Q. 2 a)
b)

Q. 3 (a)
(b)

Q. 4

Do you design software when you write a program? What makes software
design different from coding?
Using the architecture of a house or building as a metaphor, draw comparisons
with software architecture. How are the disciplines of classical architecture
and the software architecture similar? How do they differ?
What are the important roles of conventional component within the software
architecture?
What steps should we follow to map DFDs into a call and return architecture
system that has distinct transaction flow characteristics? Define flow
boundaries and map the DFD into a software structure using refining
technique in architecture design?

Develop an interface evaluation questionnaire that contains 10 generic questions

that would apply to most interfaces. Have ten classmates complete the
questionnaire for an interactive system that you all use. Summarize the results and
report them to your class.

Q. 5 Develop an approach that would automatically integrate error messages and a user
help facility. That is, the system would automatically recognize the error type and
provide a help window with suggestions for correcting it. Perform a reasonably
complete software design that considers appropriate data structures and algorithms.

Q. 1 Develop a procedural design for an interactive user interface that queries for basic
income tax information. Derive your own requirements and assume that all tax
computations are performed by other modules.
Q. 2 Briefly explain the concept of the following testing methods:
a) Unit testing
b) Module testing
c) System testing
d) Acceptance testing
Q. 3 a)
b)

Consider any website as specified by your instructor. Discuss its design.

List three characteristics that can be used to assess the quality of a mobile
application.

Q. 4 Draw use case & data flow diagrams for a restaurant system. The activities of the
Restaurant system are listed below. Receive the customer food orders, produce the
customer ordered foods, serve the customer with their ordered foods, collect
payment from customers, store customer payment details, order raw materials for
food products, pay for raw materials and pay for labor.
Q. 5 Explain the process of Component Based Software Engineering and Client Server
Software Engineering with the help of suitable examples.
