Question 2 Explanation:
Corrective → Concerned with fixing errors that are observed when the software is in use.
Adaptive → Concerned with the change in the software than takes place to make the software adaptable to new environment (both hardware and software).
Perfective → Concerned with the change in the software that takes place to make the software adaptable to changing user requirements
Preventive → Concerned with performing activities to reduce the software complexity thereby improving program understandability and increasing software maintainability.

P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4 | |
P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4 | |
P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1 |
Question 4 |
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 5 |
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 5 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 6 |
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 6 Explanation:
Software Risk estimation involves risk probability and risk impact.
Question 7 |
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 7 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.
