approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.
Q. 1. Explain the overall agile process in detail
Answer:Agile developmentisbilledasan iterative, incremental process that can cut down the time
it takes build and deliver IT systems to business users. So what makes an agile project successful?
How do development teams avoid pitfalls that could sink a project? Various experts from
government and industry involved in agile development offer a few tips.
1. EstablishstrongrelationshipsbetweenITandbusinesscustomers.Inorderfor agile to work there
has to be a strong relationship between the IT department and contractors with the agency’s
businesscustomer.The businesscustomer,inturn,hasto be able to workwhere there aren’tclearly
definedprocesses, accordingto Jeff Newlin, vice president and general manager of OutSystems, a
provider of agile technology.
b. Explain COCOMO in a nutshell
Answer:The Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) is an algorithmic software cost estimation model
developedbyBarryW. Boehm.The model usesabasic regression formula with parameters that are
derived from historical project data and current as well as future project characteristics.

2. Referencestothismodel typicallycall itCOCOMO 81. In 1995 COCOMOII was developed and finally
published in 2000 in the book Software Cost Estimation with COCOMO II.[2] COCOMO II is the
successor of COCOMO 81 and is better suited for estimating modern software development
projects. It provides more support for
Q. 3. a. Explain function oriented metrics
Answer: Function-oriented software metrics use a measure of the functionality delivered by the
application as a normalization value. Since ‘functionality’ cannot be measured directly, it must be
derived indirectly using other direct measures. Function-oriented metrics were first proposed by
Albrecht,whosuggested ameasure calledthe function point. Function points are derived using an
empirical relationshipbasedoncountable (direct) measures of software's information domain and
assessments of software complexity.
b. How do you calculate function points?
Answer: To compute function points (FP), the following relationship is used:
FP = count total [0.65 + 0.01 Σ(Fi)] where count total is the sum of all FP entries .
The Fi (i = 1 to 14) are "complexity adjustment values" based on responses to the following
questions :
1. Does the system require reliable backup and recovery?
2. Are data communications required?
3. Are there distributed processing functions?
4. Is performance critical?
5. Will the system run in an existing, heavily utilized operational environment?
6. Does the system
Q. 4. a. Explain the system architecture specification
Answer: Architecture shouldprovide guidance todevelopersinsuch a way to avoid integration and
maintenance issues. More specifically, architecture should identify things such as approved
operating systems, approved development languages, approved data storage systems, approved
communication protocols, coding practices,

3. b. Explain System specification review
Answer:A SystemRequirements Review (SRR) is a formal review conducted to ensure that system
requirements have been completely and properly identified and that a mutual understanding
betweenthe governmentandcontractorexists.Itensure thatthe systemunder review can proceed
intoinitial systems development and that all system and performance requirements derived from
the Initial Capabilities Document (ICD
Q.5. Explain the 12-step program design process of software engineering that is followed to get
the organizations back on track.
Answer: The life cycle most of us probably are most familiar with is the system development life
cycle (SDLC), which is closely allied with the project management life cycle. The diagram below
shows both together.
Q. 6. a. Elaborate on Capability Maturity Model components.
Answer: Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that
providesorganizationswiththe essential elementsof effective processes. There are three different
typesof appraisals,type A,B andC. In Appraisal RequirementsforCMMI (ARC) the requirements for
CMMI appraisal methods are described. The Standard CMMI Assessment Method for Process
Improvement (SCAMPI) is the only appraisal method
b. Define Quality control and Cost of quality with the types of cost.
Answer:Quality control, or QC for short, is a process by which entities review the quality of all
factors involved in production. ISO 9000 defines quality control as "A part of quality management
focused on fulfilling quality requirements".
This approach places an emphasis on three aspects:
