Q.1. What are various activities during software project planning?

Ans. Some of the activities during software project planning are:

1. Project Resource Management: In this , we discuss the amount

and total resources that are going to be used in the software project
and estimate the overall resources at the beginning of the project so
that there won’t be any struggle regarding resources.

2. Scope Management: It tells us the overall scope of the project

and is important as It defines the situations like what would do and
what would not. It contains the quantitative tasks.

3. Scheduling Management: It is one of the important activity as it

manages the time and distribution of work so that we could complete
the project on time and make it more efficient.

4. Project Risk management: This activity consists of all activities

like analyzing, identification and preparing the plan for tackling any
kind of risk in the project.

5. Estimation Management: This activity figures out the cost

estimation, line of code, efforts and time elapsed to make that
project. Everything is estimated here including size , quality, skilled
manpower and communication in the whole project.

Q2. Explain the concept of function points. Why FPs are becoming
acceptable in industry?
 Ans. Function point is a unit of measurement and is used to express
and measure the size of clear business significance. It is used to
calculate functional size measurement of software. The function user
requirement are retrieved and each one is categorized into one of
these: outputs, inquiries, inputs, internal files and external interfaces.
After this it is assigned as a number of function points.FPs are
becoming more acceptable in industry because it has made adequate
sizing possible in the industry and it can predict the overall rate of
progress in the software

Q.3 Is it possible to estimate software size before coding? Justify your

answer with suitable example.

Ans. Yes, it is possible to estimate software size before coding.

It is a part of software management project.  Different types are used in

estimating the size of the project. Some of the following are:

 Lines of Code count the total number of lines of source code in a

project.
 The number of entities in the ER model can be used to measure
the estimation of the size of the project.
 Making use of the number of functions required in the data flow
diagram to predict 'software size.
 Function points count based on the number and type of functions
supported by the software.

Q-4 Discuss the Infrastructure Sector of COCOMO-II.

Ans. Infrastructure sector for the COCOMO-|| includes operating

system, Database management system, user interface management
system, Networking system etc. Some commercial examples are
Microsoft products , oracle, Linux, 3D-studio.Infrastructure developers
generally have good knowledge of software development and software
engineering practices and relatively little knowledge about applications.
The product will have many reusable components but the fast pace of
technology will require them to build many components from scratch.
