Princpals of Software Engineering

1. Suggest the most appropriate software process model (waterfall, incremental development, integration and configuration) that might have been used to develop the following software systems:

Controller for a Home Electrical System;

Canvas;

H&R Block Tax Filing System;

VMware.

2. Explain why incremental development is the most effective approach for developing business software systems. Why is this model less appropriate for real-time systems engineering?

3. Give 3 ways software engineers use prototypes.

4. Give three reasons why software changes, and explain each reason.

5. Consider the integration and configuration process model shown in Figure 2.3.

Explain why it is essential to repeat the requirements engineering activity in the

process.

6. How can you reduce the cost of reworks due to change?

7. What is the difference between software verification and validation?

8. Discuss the impact that cloud technology has had on the field of software engineering.

If you dont think there has been any impact, explain why not. If you think there has

been an impact, explain why?
