P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1 |
Question 2 |
In Software Configuration management, what is the primary purpose of version Control ?
To control the changes made to software
| |
To document user requirements
| |
To estimate project cost
| |
To design the software architecture
|
Question 3 |
Software Risk estimation involves following two tasks :
risk magnitude and risk impact | |
risk probability and risk impact | |
risk maintenance and risk impact | |
risk development and risk impact |
Question 3 Explanation:
Software Risk estimation involves risk probability and risk impact.
Question 4 |
Software Cost Performance index (CPI) is given by :
[Where : BCWP stands for Budgeted Cost of Work Performed.
BCWS stands for Budget Cost of Work Scheduled
ACWP stands for Actual Cost of Work Performed
[Where : BCWP stands for Budgeted Cost of Work Performed.
BCWS stands for Budget Cost of Work Scheduled
ACWP stands for Actual Cost of Work Performed
BCW P/ ACW P | |
No option given | |
BCWP−ACWP | |
BCWP−BCWS |
Question 4 Explanation:
The Cost Performance Index can be determined by dividing the earned value by actual cost.
Cost Performance Index = BCWP stands for Budgeted Cost of Work Performed / ACWP stands for Actual Cost of Work Performed
CPI = BCWP/ACWP
Cost Performance Index = BCWP stands for Budgeted Cost of Work Performed / ACWP stands for Actual Cost of Work Performed
CPI = BCWP/ACWP
Question 5 |
Sliding window concept of software project management is :
Preparation of comprehensible plan | |
Preparation of the various stages of development | |
Ad-hoc planning | |
Requirement analysis |
Question 5 Explanation:
→ In the sliding window technique, starting with an initial plan, the project is planned more accurately in successive development stages.
→ At the start of a project, project managers have incomplete knowledge about the details of the project. Their information base gradually improves as the project progresses through different phases. After the completion of every phase, the project managers can plan each subsequent phase more accurately and with increasing levels of confidence.

Question 6 |
Software does not wear-out in the traditional sense of the term, but software does tend to deteriorate as it evolves, because :
Software suffers from exposure to hostile environments. | |
Defects are more likely to arise after software has been used often. | |
Multiple change requests introduce errors in component interactions. | |
Software spare parts become harder to order. |
Question 6 Explanation:
Software is not susceptible to the same environmental problems that cause hardware to wear out. In theory, therefore, the failure rate curve for software should take the form shown below.
Question 7 |
Software projects management comprises of a number of activities, which contains:
Project planning | |
Project estimation | |
Scope management | |
All mentioned above |
Question 7 Explanation:
Software project management is an art and science of planning and leading software projects. It is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, implemented, monitored and controlled.
