Question No: 22 ( Marks: 3 )
Software requirements analysis a bridge between system engineering and software design, show it by diagram.
Requirements analysis
Requirements analysis is a software engineering task that bridges the gap
between system level requirements engineering and software design
(Figure 1). Requirements engineering activities result in the specification
of software's operational characteristics (function, data; and behavior),
indicate software's interface with other system elements, and establish
constraints that software must meet. Requirements analysis allows the
software engineer (sometimes called analyst in this. role) to refine the
software allocation and build models of the data, functional, and
behavioral domains that will be treated by software. Requirements
analysis provides the software designer with a representation of
information, function, and behavior that can be translated to data,
architectural, interface, and component-level designs. Finally, the
requirements specification provides the developer and the customer with
the means to assess quality once software is built.

Question No: 23 ( Marks: 5 )
Write down the software process player's names and their roles in projects.
Answer:
PM Process Groups
Project management processes can be organized into five groups of one or more
processes each:
1. Initiating processes—authorizing the project or phase
2. Planning processes—defining and refining objectives and selecting the best
of the alternative courses of action to attain the objectives that the project
was undertaken to address
3. Executing processes—coordinating people and other resources to carry out
the plan
4. Controlling processes—ensuring that project objectives are met by
monitoring and measuring progress regularly to identify variances from plan
so that corrective action can be taken when necessary
5. Closing processes—formalizing acceptance of the project or phase and
bringing it to an orderly end
Each process is described by:
– Inputs
– Tools & Techniques
– Outputs
Question No: 24 ( Marks: 10 )
Explain the following terms regarding project characteristics and project dimensions.
· Temporary,
· Unique,
· Aims,
· People,
· Process
Answer:
1. Temporary
Temporary means that every project has a definite beginning and a definite end.
The end is reached when the project's objectives have been achieved, or it
becomes clear that the project objectives will not or cannot be met, or the need for
the project no longer exists and the project is terminated. Temporary does not
necessarily mean short in duration; many projects last for several years. In every
case, however, the duration of a project is finite; projects are not ongoing efforts.
2. Unique,
Projects involve creating something that has not been done in exactly the same
way before and which is, therefore, unique and distinct
Aims/Tasks/Purpose
The projects are designed to achieve specific targets defined in terms of aims,
tasks or a purpose. The nature and size of the project depends upon
complexity of the task, realization of the aims and scope of the purpose any
organization wants to achieve. In short project has to be aimed for achieving
certain tasks in a given time frame.
• People must be organized into effective teams, motivated to do high-quality
software work, and coordinated to achieve effective communication.
