SE Unit 1: Software Engineering Quiz

What is the primary goal of software engineering?

• To write software code

• To produce software that is of high quality, reliable, and maintainable

• To test software

• To design user interfaces

Which of the following is NOT a key phase in software development?

• Design

• Coding

• Marketing

• Testing

What is the primary difference between software engineering and computer science?

• Software engineering focuses on theory, and computer science focuses on practical application

• Software engineering focuses on building software systems, while computer science focuses on the theory behind computing

• Software engineering is concerned only with design, while computer science focuses on coding

• There is no difference

In which phase of the software process are requirements gathered?

• Design

• Implementation

• Requirements gathering

• Testing

Which of the following is a task in the design phase of the software process?

• Writing code

• Creating user interfaces

• Defining system architecture

• Deploying the software

Which of the following models represents a linear and sequential process?

• Incremental Model

• Waterfall Model

• Agile Model

• Unified Process

Which model allows for the development of partial versions of the system at each step?

• Waterfall Model

• Incremental Model

• Evolutionary Model

• Spiral Model

Which of the following is a key feature of the Evolutionary Process Model?

• Rigid sequence of steps

• Early and continuous delivery of parts of the software

• Each phase must be completed before moving to the next

• Full deployment happens only after the entire system is developed

The term 'framework activity' in a software process refers to:

• A set of related tasks

• A programming language used in software development

• A development tool

• The final product

What is the main characteristic of the Waterfall Model?

• It supports rapid development

• Phases are developed in parallel

• It is a linear and sequential process

• It is very flexible and iterative
