Software Cost Estimation analysis. Intellectual Property (IP) analysis. Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) analysis. 6) True or False. Performing the Product Support BCA will impact the biggest cost savings area for the program's life-cycle costs, the Operations and Support (O&S) phase. [4.101.1.6 Identify at least three benefits of doing the Product Support BCA.] True False 7) True or False. Software Architecture: The product is not best value if it does not abide by the OSA principles that ensure the software is functionally modular and open for ease of maintenance and modernization. [4.101.1.7 Identify three Information Technology (IT) areas that impact the best value benefits analysis of the Product Support BCA.] True False 8) True or False. The initial focus of the Software Engineer should be on understanding each alternative, its Mission and Business impacts, Risk Analysis and Mitigation Plans. These are the sections where software-related product support impacts must be factored into the best value analysis. [4.101.1.8 Recall the important sections of the Product Support BCA to ensure Information Technology (IT) product support considerations are included.] True False 9) True or False. The Software Engineer provides the software development environment understanding in support of the software cost estimate. [4.101.1.9 Recognize the IT inputs needed for software cost estimation.] False True 10) True or False. Using Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles ensures best value for product support during the O&S phase from a software application architecture perspective. [4.101.1.10 Recognize that Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) is a critical product support factor when developing a Product Support BCA.] False True 11) Which of the following is true about the Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy? [4.101.1.11 Recognize that Intellectual Property (IP) is a critical product support factor when developing a Product Support BCA.] The IP Strategy shall identify and manage the full spectrum of IP and related issues (e.g., technical data and computer software deliverables, patented technologies, and appropriate license rights) from the inception of a program and throughout the life cycle. The IP Strategy shall mandate that the government get unlimited rights on all software purchased. The IP Strategy shall be constructed in a way that minimizes future competition. The IP Strategy shall separate technical requirements from contracting mechanisms and legal considerations to support limited availability of multiple competitive alternatives throughout the product life cycle. 12) True or False. During the O&S phase, all we need available is the software`s compiler to update the software when it needs modifications. [4.101.1.12 Recognize which software support products are needed for successful product support.] True False 13) True or False. Data Management Strategy (DMS) provides a clear understanding of the program`s data for proper sustainment during the O&S phase. [4.101.1.13 Recognize the data management products needed for successful product support.] True False 14) Who is responsible for ensuring that proper software security is included within each product support alternative within the Product Support BCA? [4.101.1.14 Recognize IT/SW security inputs needed for successful product support.] Software Engineer (in support of the Systems Engineer) Contracting Officer Business Manager Product Support Manager (PSM)
