Software Engineering → Spiral Model 4

Software implementation is
In it server is only responsible for data management.
click to copy
Software system is
The probability of the event occurring which create a hazard.
click to copy
These objects can be realized as parallel process with method corresponding to defined object operations.
Either the hazard not arises, if arise; it will not result in an accident.
click to copy
Software inspection is
It considers each of the key risks that are identified and identifies strategies to manage the risk.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Agile Model 4

An object-oriented model of system architecture structures the system into a set of loosely coupled objects with well-defined interfaces.
It is the process of modifying the state space of the system so that the effects of the fault are minimized and system can continue in operation in some degraded state
click to copy
Scalability is
Trustworthiness with which a system or component can be modified for use in applications or environments other than those for which it was specifically designed.
click to copy
Safety validation is
A condition with the potential for causing or contributing to an accident.
click to copy
Software life cycle is
Structured approach to software development, whose aim is to facilitate the production of high-quality software in a cost-effective way.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Requirement Engineering 4

Interoperability is
Requirements derived from the core activity of the organization and directly related to the domain of the system*
click to copy
Risk analysis process is
Trustworthiness with which a system or component can be modified to increase its storage or functional capacity
click to copy
Software process model
It is concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them.
click to copy
Software requirements specification are
Reason for a computer program to resume execution after a failure, using status and results recorded at a checkpoint.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Software Design 4

Parkinson’s Law is
Hazard cannot arise due system design.
click to copy
Reusability is
It is a measure of number of function that calls some other function.
click to copy
Extent to which a system or component contains enough information to explain its objectives and properties is referred as
A-1,B-2,C-3
click to copy
Software process is
The anticipate risks which night affect the project schedule or the quality of the software being developed and to take action to avoid these risks.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Coding Standards 4

Retirement phase is
Based on an idea of developing an initial implementation, exposing this to uses comment and retiring it until and adequate system has been developed.
click to copy
Safety argument is
Period in the software life cycle during which the basic version of a software product is adapted to a specified set of operational environments and is distributed to a customer base.
click to copy
Degree to which a system or component has a design and implementation that is straightforward and easy to understand is referred as
Period in the software life cycle in which a software product is integrated in its operational environment, and tested in this environment to ensure it performs as required.
click to copy
Software re-engineering is
The frequency of occurrence with which unexpected behavior is likely to occur
click to copy

Software Engineering → Software Testing 4

Retrospective Fault detection is
A-1,B-2,C-3
click to copy
Risk assessment is
Organizational stability: Over a program’s lifetime, its rate of development is approximately constant and independent of the resources devoted to system development.
click to copy
Software attributes are
It is a process of converting system specifications into an executable system.
click to copy
Procedural interface
It consists of computer programs, configuration files that are used to set up these programs system documentation for describing to structure of the system and used documentation that describes use of the system.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Debugging 4

Risk planning process
The objective of an organization to achieve.
click to copy
Risk is
Human behavior that results in the introduction of faults into a system.
click to copy
Software measurement is
Object oriented models
click to copy
Software metric is
Ease with which a system or component are modified to fit the problem area.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Software Maintenance 3

Software engineering method is
Period in the software life cycle in which a software product is created from design documentation and debugged.*
click to copy
Safety is
The software and hardware system architectures that provide explicit support for tolerance, which includes software redundancy and fault- tolerance controller that detects problems and supports fault recovery*
click to copy
Software development is
Ability of two or more systems, to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Introduction to Software Engineering 3

Restart is
Trustworthiness with which a system or component can be modified to take advantage of new software or hardware technologies.
click to copy
Role is
A-1,B-2,C-3,D-4
click to copy

Risk Management is
A-1,B-2,C-3,D-4
click to copy
Robustness is
Continuing change: A program used in real-world environment must change necessarily or become progressively less useful in that environment.
click to copy
Software maintenance is
Period of time in the software life cycle during which support for a software product is terminated.
click to copy

Software Engineering → Waterfall Model 3

ROCOF (Rate of failure occurrence) is
Increase complexity: As an evolving program change, its strictures tend to become more complex. Extra resources must be devoted to preserving and simplifying the structure.
click to copy
Risk monitoring process
Methods and techniques for converting data to or from graphic display via computers.
click to copy
Software Engineering is
The fault detection mechanism is initiated after the system state has been changed to check if a fault has occurred*
