Tutorial Questions (Self Assessment)

Task: Complete this assessment individually during the lab session. Discuss the answers with
your instructor.

1) List the generic processes for software engineering activities.

2) Compare the terms "software process model" and "software process". What is their distinction?

3) What is CMMI and its significance to software engineering particularly with respect to the
software processes?

Case Study (Group Assessment)

Task: Use your existing group and try complete it during a lab session. Discuss with your
instructor. Read each of the questions carefully. Then, answer it.

1. Giving reasons for your answer based on the type of system being
developed, suggest the most appropriate generic software process model
that might be used as a basis for managing the development of the following
systems:
a. A system to perform a QR code-based electronic wallet transaction
b. A smart watch fitness monitoring system
c. A global pandemic rate monitoring system

2. Explain why change is inevitable in complex systems. Give examples of the

software process activities that do not accommodate changes easily.

3. Provide three examples of software projects that would be amenable to the

reuse-oriented software engineering model. Be specific.

4. In agile software development, explain three other extreme programming

(XP) practices aside from incremental planning and pair programming.
Suggest and describe a CASE tool that can be adopted into each of these
practices.
