FUNDAMENTALS OF SOFTWARE
ENGINEERING ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Match each word to its correct meaning. Answer: rapid application
development: SDLC approach that emphasizes incremental development
of prototypes over planning; abbreviated as RAD
requirements stage: first stage of the software development process in
which customer needs and expectations are defined
software development life cycle: the series of activities conducted to
produce a complete software application; also known as software
development process; abbreviated SDLC
software development process: activities conducted to produce a
software application
Spiral Model: risk-focused SDLC approach that combines the linear
development and testing aspects of the V-Model with the prototyping of
RAD
verification stage: fourth stage of the software development process in
which the application is formally tested and refined prior to deployment
V-Model: an SDLC approach that pairs linear Waterfall Model activities
with testing in each stage
Waterfall Model: traditional linear SDLC approach that closely mirrors
the basic software development process
