Which is the best definition of the spiral life-cycle model?

• Risk centred model of systems development
• Strict logical development stages
• Modern and responsive development methodology with short iterations
• Each stage of development flows from the previous one and down to the next one

Which of the following is NOT a key feature of extreme programming?

• Paired programming
• Fixed endpoints to each stage of the Systems Development Life Cycle
• Short iterations
• Embedded user in the development team

What is best definition of paired programming?

• One programmer writing code at a time in a team of two
• Two programmers writing the same code at the same time, the best version is then chosen
• More than one programmer writing different code for the same program at the same time
• Two programmers sitting side by side at one computer while code is written - one coding, one reviewing

Which is the best definition of the rapid application development (RAD) life-cycle model?

• Each stage of development flows from the previous one and down to the next one
• The emphasis is on evolving prototypes
• A primary focus on risk management
• Strict logical development stages

The process of software development through analysis, design, implementation, testing and evaluation is known as what?

• Secure Development Life Cycle
• Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systematic Development Life Cycle
• Safe Development Life Cycle

Which is the best definition of the waterfall life-cycle model?

• Strict logical development stages
• Each stage of development flows from the previous one and down to the next one
• Risk centred model of systems development
• Modern and responsive development methodology with short iterations

Which systems development methodology is best suited to the delivery of the highest quality code?

• RAD
• Waterfall
• Spiral
• Agile

Which of the following is a disadvantage of the agile methodology?

• Complex nature of risk analysis adds to expense
• Misunderstanding requirements can lead to a project that is not easy to fix
• Requires a team of programmers working in close collaboration - unlikely to work well if they are distributed geographically
• Focus on usability rather than how the product works means not suited for projects where code efficiency is very important

Which of the following is an advantage of the agile methodology?

• Simplicity makes it easy to manage
• Risk is placed at the heart of this model
• Has a very high emphasis on programming so quality of end code likely to be very high
• Misunderstanding requirements can lead to a project that is not easy to fix

Which is the best definition of the agile programming methodology?

• Each stage of development flows from the previous one and down to the next one
• Strict logical development stages
• Risk centred approach to systems development
• Focus on iterative development, prioritising delivering value through short feedback loops with regular customer involvement
