A. Hardware and software costs
B. Effort costs
C. Travel and training costs
D. All of the mentioned

Explanation: All these are accounted for in estimating a software development cost

A. Automated estimation tools
B. Empirical estimation models
C. Decomposition techniques
D. Both Automated estimation tools and Empirical estimation models

A. Base estimates on similar projects that have already been completed
B. Use one or more empirical models for software cost and effort estimation
C. Use relatively simple decomposition techniques to generate project cost and effort estimates
D. The ability to translate the size estimate into human effort, calendar time, and dollars

A. Association
B. Decomposition
C. Planning process
D. All of the mentioned

A. Specification delays
B. Product competition
C. Testing
D. Staff turnover

Explanation: Testing is a part of project, thus it can’t be categorized as risk.

A. very low
B. low
C. moderate
D. high

Explanation: The probability of the risk might be assessed as very low (75%).

A. travel and training costs
B. hardware and software costs
C. effort costs (the costs of paying software engineers and managers)
D. all of the mentioned

Explanation: Estimation involves working out how much effort is required to complete each activity and, from this, calculating the total cost of activities.

A. Project size
B. Planning process
C. Project complexity
D. Degree of structural uncertainty

Explanation: As size increases, the interdependence among various elements of the software grows rapidly.
