Development Process

Question 1

The software dev process is split into what blocks?

Answer 1

Requirements engineering
Design
Implementation
Testing and evaluation
Deployment
Maintenance
Evolution

Question 2

What’s requirements engineering?

Answer 2

Aims at understanding the problem

Question 3

What’s design?

Answer 3

Aims at planning solution to problem

Question 4

What’s implementation?

Answer 4

Translates the plan into running application code

Question 5

What’s testing and evaluation?

Answer 5

Aims at identifying coding errors or inconsistencies

between the collected requirements and their implementation.

Question 6

What’s deployment?

Answer 6

Brings the solution to customers

Question 7

What’s maintenance?

Answer 7

Aims at monitoring a running system and keeping it healthy

and running.

Question 8

What’s evolution?

Answer 8

Aims at improving the developed solution over time, providing
new input to the development process in the form of new requirements.

Question 9

What are the 5 main activities in the Online Evolution Model?

Answer 9

1) Requirements analysis
2) Design
3) Implementation
4) Testing and evaluation
5) Maintenance and evolution

Question 10

How many main activities are there in the Online Evolution Model?

Answer 10

5

Question 11

What differences exist between classic software development and the Online Evolution Model?

Answer 11

1) Deployment is a transition in the OEM, but a stage within software dev (reason: deployment is just hitting a button in web stuff, essentially)
2) The existence of the evolution cycle
3) Web focuses on early and regular deployment
4) Requirements are likely to change during the development phase
5) We also have two extra actors in web dev: graphic designer and webmaster (maybe content authors or managers)

Question 12

What is the evolution cycle?

Answer 12

In web app engineering, this is the way that in Online Evolution Model, we loop from Maintenance and Evolution back to Requirements Analysis

Question 13

What is the build and test cycle?

Answer 13

In web app engineering, this is the way that in Online Evolution Model, we loop from Design to Implementation to Testing and Evaluation

Question 14

What cycles exist in the Online Evolution Model?

Answer 14

Build and test cycle and the evolution cycle

Question 15

Name the typical actors in Software Dev

Answer 15

Application analyst
Data architect
Application architect

Question 16

Name the typical actors in Web Dev

Answer 16

Application analyst
Data architect
Application architect 
Programmer/Developer 
Administrator 
Users
\+ Webmaster and Graphic Designer

Question 17

What is user centred design?

Answer 17

Framework of processes that gives attention to wants, needs and limitations of end users at each stage in design - not forcing users to change behaviour

Question 18

Give an example of separation of concerns with regard to software/web dev

Answer 18

The different actors involved
