Initials: 1 TRUE/FALSE

1 True/False

(2 points each) Circle the correct answer. T is true, F is false.

  1. T / F A way to estimate the duration of one very large task is to break it into smaller sub- tasks, estimate each one independently, and add up the estimates. However, this approach is usually not practical because of the difficulty of knowing all the sub-tasks and of unforeseen interactions among them.
  2. T / F Coupling is an expression of the principle that dependencies should be minimized.
  3. T / F Cohesion is an expression of the principle that dependencies should be minimized.
  4. T / F The agile and waterfall development methodologies use the same software lifecycle, just at different granularities/tempos.
  5. T / F If you are having trouble communicating with another group member, one effective strategy is to tell them how you think they feel and then ask if you’re correct.
  6. T / F For a static analysis such as that of Coverity, eliminating false positives (a report of a non-flaw) is more important than eliminating false negatives (a non-report of a flaw).

Initials: 2 VERY SHORT ANSWER

3 Short answer

  1. (3 points each) Below you will complete the phrase “goal1, goal2, and goal3 – choose two” about the software engineering triangle.

(a) Goal 1:

(b) Goal 2:

(c) Goal 3:

  1. (3 points) Both the evolutionary prototyping and the spiral development model greedily choose tasks by highest risk. How do they differ with respect to what risks they prioritize? Answer in one sentence.
