• Task

Question 2

Collection of activities, actions, and tasks that are performed when some work product is to be created.

Answer 2

Process

Question 3

Strives to achieve a broad objective (e.g., communication with stakeholders) and is applied regardless of the application domain, size of the project, complexity of the effort, or degree of rigor with which SE is to be applied.

Answer 3

Activity

Question 4

Encompasses a set of tasks that produce a major work product (e.g., architectural design)

Answer 4

Action

Question 5

Focuses on a small, but well-defined objective (e.g., conducting a unit test) that produces a tangible outcome.

Answer 5

Task

Question 6

Establishes the foundation for a complete SE by identifying a small number of framework activities that are applicable to all SW projects, regardless of their size or complexity.

Answer 6

Process Framework

Question 7

Five (5) activities of a generic process framework for SE

Answer 7

• Communication
• Planning
• Modeling
• Construction
• Deployment

Question 8

Before any technical work can commence, it is important to communicate and collaborate with the customer (and other stakeholders).

Answer 8

Communication

Question 9

The planning activity creates a “map” that helps guide the team as it makes the journey.

Answer 9

Planning

Question 10

defines the SW Engineering work by describing the technical tasks to be conducted, the risks that are likely, the resources that will be required, the work products to be produced, and a work schedule.

Answer 10

SW Project Plan

Question 11

You create a “sketch” of the thing so that you’ll understand the big picture – what it will look like architecturally , how the constituent parts fit together, and many other characteristics.

Answer 11

Modeling

Question 12

This activity combines code generation (either manual or automated) and the testing that is required to uncover errors in the code.

Answer 12

Construction

Question 13

The SW (as a complete entity or as a partially completed increment) is delivered to the customer who evaluates the delivered product and provides feedback based on the evaluation.

Answer 13

Deployment

Question 14

Allows the SW team to assess programs against the project plan and take any necessary action to maintain the schedule.

Answer 14

SW project tracking and control

Question 15

Answer 15

Risk Management

Question 16

Defines and conducts the activities required to ensure SW quality.

Answer 16

SW quality assurance

Question 17

Assesses SW engineering work products in an effort to uncover and remove errors before they are propagated to the next activity.

Answer 17

Technical reviews

Question 18

Defines and collects process, project, and product measures that assist the team in delivering SW that meets stakeholders’ needs; can be used in conjunction with all other framework and umbrella activities.

Answer 18

Measurement

Question 19

Manages the effects of change throughout the software process.

Answer 19

SW configuration management

Question 20
