Software Management

A. Early design estimation model
B. Application Composition estimation model
C. Comprehensive cost estimation model
D. Post architecture estimation model

Explanation: It was a part of COCOMO

A. An application-composition model
B. A post-architecture model
C. A reuse model
D. An early design model

Explanation: It is designed to make estimates of prototype development.

A. An application-composition model
B. A post-architecture model
C. A reuse model
D. An early design model

Explanation: Estimates are based on function points, which are then converted to number of lines of source code. The formula follows the standard form discussed above with a simplified set of seven multipliers.

A. An application-composition model
B. A post-architecture model
C. A reuse model
D. An early design model

A. CASE tools
B. Pricing to win
C. Parkinson’s Law
D. Expert judgement

Explanation: The cost is determined by available resources rather than by objective assessment. If the software has to be delivered in 12 months and 5 people are available, the effort required is estimated to be 60 person-months.

A. Algorithmic cost modelling
B. Expert judgement
C. Estimation by analogy
D. Parkinson’s Law

Explanation: The cost of a new project is estimated by analogy with these completed projects.

A. Costs of networking and communications
B. Costs of providing heating and lighting office space
C. Costs of lunch time food
D. Costs of support staff

Explanation: This is a incurred by the employees.

A. Algorithmic cost modelling
B. Expert judgement
C. Estimation by analogy
D. Parkinson’s Law

Explanation: The model uses a basic regression formula with parameters that are derived from historical project data and current as well as future project characteristics.

A. JAD
B. CLASS
C. FAST
D. None of the mentioned

Explanation: Facilitated application specification techniques
(FAST), this approach encourages the creation of a joint team of customers
and developers who work together to identify the problem, propose elements
of the solution, negotiate different approaches, and specify a preliminary set of
requirements.

A. conveyor line sorting system
B. conveyor line sorting software
C. conveyor line sorting speed
D. conveyor line sorting specification

Explanation: The conveyor line sorting system (CLSS) sorts boxes moving along a conveyor line. Each box is identified by a barcode that contains a part number and is sorted into one of six bins at the end of the line.
