Software Engineering Model Question
Section A
Attempt any TWO questions. (2 × 10 = 20)
1. Explain the different software life cycle models and compare them with advantages and disadvantages.
2. In the software development process, how does software configuration management facilitate the changes that may occur during different stages of a software development life cycle? Justify your explanation with example.
3. Differentiate between functional and non-functional requirements. What are the various types of functional and non-function requirements that are placed on the system? Explain with example.
Section B
Attempt any EIGHT questions. (8 × 5 = 40)
4. Differentiate between software engineering and computer science?
5. Differentiate between V-shape model and spiral model.
Answered by Sneha
The difference between V- model and Spiral model are as follows:-
V - MODEL
1. V model is software development model but development and testing are not concurrent.
2. In V-model testing activities start with the first stage.
3. Cost of V-model is expensive.
4. Flexibility of V model is little flexible.
5. Guarantee of success through V model is high.
6. User involvement in V-model is also only in beginning.
7. It is not iterative.
Spiral Model
1. Spiral model is a software development model and is made with features of incremental, waterfall or evolutionary prototyping models.
2. Testing is done in spiral model at the end of the engineering phase.
3. While cost of spiral model is also very expensive.
4. Flexibility to change in spiral model is not that difficult.
5. Guarantee of success through Spiral model is low.
6. In this user Involvement is only at the beginning.
7. It is iterative
6. What is software quality assurance? Explain with example.
7. Differentiate between Validation and Verification.
8. Explain the component base software engineering and its advantages.
9. What are the drawbacks of software reuse? Explain.
10. Differentiate between structural models and behavioral models.
11. Discuss COCOMO model in cost estimation of the software in detail.
12. Explain maintenance process in detail.
