All parts of the question must be answered in one place only
1. a) An Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) is a computer based machine, connected to a network, that offers, as basic functions to users, access to bank account (balance, bank transfers) and retrieval of money. Assume that you are designing software for deploying on this machine. Identify any three functional and non-functional requirements for the same. 6M
b) What is risk management? List any two common mistakes in risk management and requirements for successful risk management. 6M
2. a) Discuss how prototyping helps in risk reduction. 6M
b) Bob, driving down main street in his patrol car notices smoke coming out of a warehouse. His partner, Alice, reports the emergency from her car. Alice enters the address of the building into her wearable computer, a brief description of its location (i.e., north west corner) and an emergency level. She confirms her input and waits for an acknowledgement. John, the dispatcher, is alerted to the emergency by a beep of his workstation. He reviews the information submitted by Alice and acknowledges the report. He allocates a fire unit and sends the estimated arrival time (ETA) to Alice. Alice received the acknowledgement and the ETA. The aforementioned is a scenario example of Warehouse on Fire. Explain how can such scenarios help in software requirement engineering? 6M
3. a) Assume that you have been selected for summer internship at “Inmobi” and you have been assigned for an “Easy Recharge” project which aims at providing an ease environment for recharging mobile through SMS. Identify actors and design a use case diagram. 6M
b) Design a state transition diagram to model a data transfer protocol with three states data available, data not available and data lost. 6M
4. a) Describe the concept of Change Management Process in detail. 6M
b) Green Computing is a study of practice on developing or designing applications or system which can bring zero impact to the environment. Green computing can helps on preventing global warming that cause of improper function in the natural atmosphere. Research covers several areas like disposal of electronic waste and recycling, telecommuting, virtualization of server resources, use open source software, development of new software to address green computing for internal use and potential sale to other organizations. Design a Requirements Traceability Matrix for the aforementioned problem. M
5. a) List any four benefits of using Requirements Management Tool. 4M
b) IBM Rational Requisite Pro is an easy to use requirements management tool that is widely being used in industry. Explain some of the significant features of this tool. 8M
6. a) Explain what are the key project factors that influences software estimation? 6M
b) Identify any six problems that are associated with software estimation. 6M
7. a) Explain briefly about Full Function Points estimation techniques. 6M
b) Consider the following two snippets of C code:
Snippet 1:
For (I = 0, I < 100; i+=1) printf(“hello”); /*Hello End of this Code */
Snippet 2:
Fir (I = 0; i<100, i+=1)
{
printf(“hello”)
}/* End of the code?*/
What is the value of SLOC/LOC and LLOC in each of the cases? What is the inference that you draw from this estimation?
6M
8. a) Describe Putnam estimation model in detail. 6M
b) Write a brief note on University of Southern California’s Constructive Cost Model estimation tool. 6M
