huge labor cost, software projects need to focus more on... - ANSWER- Small team size,
predictable delivery dates, short schedule
According to the article "Software Engineering not CS", a well-run software project can be
managed to meet which of the following product goals? - ANSWER- Good maintainability,
minimal defects, maintain a cohesive team
(T/F) Pair programming invented in XP promotes faster coding as two people are programming
the same module - ANSWER- False
(T/F) User stories in XP are developed by project managers - ANSWER- False
(T/F) In XP, new versions may be built several times per day... - ANSWER- True

Which of the following are software main process activities? - ANSWER- Specification,
Design and implementation
, Which of the following statements is true about plan driven software process models? -
ANSWER- all of the process activities are planned in-advanced and progress is measured
against this plan, incremental process model is an example of a plan driven approach
Consider the following software project requirement and then select the best process model to
develop this software...
A software firm has just signed a contract to deliver an inventory tracking/on-line transaction
system for use by 500 entry clerks in the contract. The client has demanded a schedule of
rigorous checkpoints in each 30-40 days (evaluation of software functionality) but the major
requirements for the project are well defined and no major changes expected. - ANSWER-
Incremental process model

for each increment over the schedule for the whole project
Which of the following process model suggest increments in every 2 weeks - ANSWER- XP

Which of the following is not a major quality factor stated in the ISO 25010 Model? - ANSWER-
Speed
Suppose you, a project manager at a software company that has multiple customers, and you
are managing multiple projects concurrently. You would like to have specialized people for
major software engineering activities that you do in a software project. You need to decided a
good team structure for a company... what do you choose? - ANSWER- Matrix
Management
(T/F) Duration of the Sprint cycle in scrum process model is typically 24 hours - ANSWER-
False
