5)   Software Engineering: Abbreviate the term BSS.
- Published on 29 Jun 15

a. Box Structure Specification
b. Box Statistical Specification
c. Box Statistical System
d. Box Structure Sampling
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Box Structure Specification

Explanation:
The box structure provides a stepwise refinement and verification methodology for information system analysis and design. They are used for recording and decomposing requirement specification. It helps in making the requirement clear to readers,complete and provide an artifact that will enhance the tracebility of the requirements.


6)   Software Engineering: Which subsystem implements a repository that encompasses the following elements?

1) Content database
2) Database capabilities
3) Configuration management functions

- Published on 29 Jun 15

a. The publishing subsystem
b. The management subsystem
c. The collection subsystem
d. None of the above
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: The management subsystem

Explanation:
The content must be stored in a repository catalogued for subsequent acquisition and use and labelled to define 1) current status 2) appropriate version of the current object and 3) related content object. Therefore, we use the management system.


7)   Software Engineering: Which model gives the overall reliability of the system that is projected and certified?
- Published on 29 Jun 15

a. Sampling model
b. Component model
c. Certification model
d. Both A & B
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Certification model
