Multiple choice

Which of the following is not true regarding cleanroom software engineering process?

  1. Focus on defect prevention

  2. Based on informal methods

  3. Certifiable level of reliability

  4. Incremental implementation under statistical quality control

  5. Statistically sound testing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

It is based upon formal methods of product development.Cleanroom development makes use of the Box Structure Method to specify and design a software product. Verification that the design correctly implements the specification is performed through team review.

Multiple choice

Which of the following software development methodologies focuses on creating abstract representations of knowledge and activities?

  1. Waterfall model

  2. Software prototyping

  3. Model-driven engineering (MDE)

  4. Rapid application development (RAD)

  5. Agile software development
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Model-driven engineering (MDE) is a software development methodology which focuses on creating and exploiting domain models (that is, abstract representations of the knowledge and activities that govern a particular application domain), rather than on the computing (or algorithmic) concepts.

Multiple choice

Which of the following software metrics measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code?

  1. Source lines of code (SLOC)

  2. Balanced scorecard

  3. Cyclomatic complexity

  4. Halstead complexity

  5. Function point
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cyclomatic complexity (or conditional complexity) is a software metric (measurement). It is used to indicate the complexity of a program. It directly measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code.
