38 During practice it is important to understand the problem, plan a solution, carry out the
plan and examine the result for accuracy. As a software engineer involved in the
enhancement of a registration system at a university, you will be involved for the second
phase, planning the solution, in ______.
1 identifying similar problems and the way that a solution is found for the problem
2 identifying the management staff who will be responsible for the system and the
registration staff who will use the system
3 testing whether all the components for the solution are correct
4 examining the solution to see if it is possible to test each component part of the
solution
5 None of the above.
39 A software system exists for one reason: to provide its users with value. What is the
essential question to ask during the specification of a system requirement for the
registration system?
1 Is the requirement feasible?
2 Are there enough resources to implement the requirement?
3 Does this add real value to the system?
4 Will the users use this requirement?
5 None of the above.
40 Before customer requirements can be analysed, modelled or specified, they must be
gathered through a communication activity. During development of the university
registration system, you organise a meeting with the registration staff who will use the
system. You do not understand the mechanism in place for payments. You want to use
the communication principles provided by Pressman for communication. What do you
do?
1 You reschedule the meeting and study the documents available on payments.
2 You insist that your understanding of the system is best; you are going to be
responsible for the implementation and proceed to the next point on the agenda.
3 You allow a cool down period and plan to get back to the payment issue at a later
stage.
4 You use the principle, if something is unclear, of drawing a picture.
5 None of the above.
