Q

It is a straightway approach to software engineering

A

Structured Paradigm

22
Q

Is broken into objects that both manage data and carry out operations called objects

A

Object-oriented Paradigm

23
Q

Entities that are composed of behaviors (methods and functions) and attributes

A

Object

24
Q

A method that involves creation of objects and initialization of values

A

Constructors

25
Q

A method that erases or removes the object

A

Deconstructors

26
Q

Focuses on partitioning a program into smaller modules to reduce complexity

A

Modular Programming

27
Q

Originally developed without the intention of future implementation

A

Accidental Reuse

28
Q

Intentionally developed for reuse

A

Opportunistic reuse

29
Q

Hiding the system’s inner workings

A

Information Hiding

30
Q

Process of compartmentalizing the elements of an abstraction that constitute its structure and behavior

A

Encapsulation

31
Q

Provides additional integrity in information hiding

A

Access Levels

32
Q

3 access levels

A

Public, Private, Protected

33
Q

Provides an opportunity for code reuse without having to inherit the attribute of some classes

A

Code delegation

34
Q

Relationship between classes in which one class shares attributes of one or more different classes

A

Inheritance

35
Q

Practice of OOP where different methods of a class share the same name provided

A

Overloading

36
Q

Practice of replacing the method inherited from a superclass with a newly defined method in the sub class

A

Overriding

37
Q

It allows efficient management of complexity by generalization

A

Abstraction

38
Q

An engineering concept concerned with the ability to separate classes and their derived instances to be accessed in the same way

A

Polymorphism

39
Q

Associated with specific functions, tasks, or behaviors of a system

A

Functional Requirements

40
Q

Widespread practice capturing functional requirements for a system

A

Use cases

41
Q

Essentially constraints placed on various attributes of these functions or tasks. Related to emergent system properties such as system performance, security, and others

A

Non-functional Requirements

42
Q

Requires dealing with interpersonal, cultural, and organizational aspects of adopting these methods. Captures intended behavior of a system.

A

Requirements Elicitation

43
Q

Two categories of methods for requirements elicitation

A

Traditional - interviews, questionnaires, observation, etc.

Modern - prototyping, joint application development, rapid application development, etc.

44
Q

A systematic activity of identifying, formalizing, and classifying the knowledge in a problem domain

A

Domain Analysis

45
Q

process of showing the requirements define the system in a fashion that accurately represents what the customer wants

A

Requirements Validation

46
Q

Used to develop early executable versions of requirements model

A

Prototyping

47
Q

Identifies User requirements not addressed by the developer

A

Quality function deployment

48
Q

Where reviewers analyze requirements

A

Requirements review

49
Q

Defines goal-oriented set of interactions between external actors and the system under consideration

A

Use Case Model

50
Q

Relationship between two use cases mean that the sequence described in the included (or sub) use case is included in the sequence base (including) use case

A

Includes

51
Q

Provides a way to capture variand to a use case. Accommodates changes to steps

A

Extends

52
Q

Relationship between cases implies that the child use contains all attributes, sequence behavior, and extensions, defined in the parent and participate in all relationships of the parent use case

A
