SOFTWARE PROJECT PLANNING

Question 1

what is the obj of software project planning?

Answer 1

The objective of software project planning is that enables the manager to make reasonable estimates of resources, cost, and schedule.
estimates should define best-case and worst-case scenarios

Question 2

what is software scope

Answer 2

Software scope describes the functions and features that are to be delivered to end users; the data that are input and output; the “content” that is presented to users as a consequence of using the software

Question 3

what are resources

Answer 3

The second planning task is estimation of the resources required to accomplish the software development effort.

the three major categories of software engineering resources—people, reusable software components, and the development environment

Question 4

what are human resources?

Answer 4

They specify the required organizational roles (like manager or senior software engineer) and specialties (such as telecommunications, database, or client-server). In small projects, one person may handle all software engineering tasks, consulting specialists as needed. In larger projects, the team might be spread across various locations, so each team member’s location is specified.

Question 5

what are resusable resources

Answer 5

Component-based software engineering focuses on reusability, creating and reusing software building blocks known as components.

Question 6

what are environment resources

Answer 6

The environment supporting a software project, known as the software engineering environment , includes both hardware and software. The hardware serves as a platform for the tools (software) needed to create the work products resulting from good software engineering practices.

Question 7

what are decomposition techniques

Answer 7

Software project estimation is a form of problem solving when the problem to be solved is too complex to be considered in one piece
The decomposition approach can be seen from two different points of view
Decomposition of the problem.
Decomposition of the process.

Question 8

If a direct approach is taken, size can be measured in

Answer 8

LOC

Question 9

If an indirect approach is chosen, size is represented as

Answer 9

FP

Question 10

What is LOC

Answer 10

Using this metric, the project size is estimated by counting the number of source instructions in the developed program.

Question 11

What is FP

Answer 11

used to easily estimate the size of a software product directly from the problem specification.
