Agile development principles
What are the principles of agile development? What are its advantages? [3+2]
Note: The reference notes did not contain this topic. The following answer is based on standard software engineering curriculum (Sommerville, Pressman) as taught in BSc CSIT. --- The Agile Manifesto defines 12 principles of agile development: Principle ----...
Full solved answer →Phases of OOAD-based development
Explain different phases of OOAD-based development. [5]
OOAD (Object-Oriented Analysis and Design) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a collection of interacting objects. The development process follows distinct phases: --- - This phase focuses on understanding and modeling the problem do...
Full solved answer →Benefits of object-oriented development
What are the benefits of using object-oriented development over structured development? What is class diagram? [2+3]
--- (a) Benefits of Object-Oriented Development over Structured Development Object-oriented (OO) development offers several advantages over traditional structured (procedural) development: 1. Reusability Classes and objects can be reused across different pa...
Full solved answer →Object-oriented analysis and design
Explain object-oriented analysis and design in brief. [5]
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a collection of interacting objects, where each object represents a real-world entity with its own data (attributes) and behavior (methods). It consists of...
Full solved answer →Class diagram explanation
Explain object-oriented development with class diagram. [5]
Object-Oriented Development (OOD) is a software development approach that organizes a system as a collection of objects that interact with each other to accomplish tasks. It is based on the concept of modeling real-world entities as objects having both data...
Full solved answer →Rapid application development
Write short notes on: a) Rapid application development Write short notes on: b) Economic feasibility. [2.5+2.5]
Rapid Application Development (RAD) is an incremental software development process model that emphasizes a short development cycle using component-based construction. - Focuses on speed of development by using reusable components and automated tools - Uses ...
Full solved answer →What is rapid application development?Explain agile development in brief.[4+6]
--- (a) Rapid Application Development (RAD) Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a software development model that emphasizes quick development and delivery of high-quality systems with relatively low investment costs. It was introduced by James Martin in...
Full solved answer →Spiral development approach
What is spiral development approach? Explain. [5]
The Spiral Model is a risk-driven software development process model proposed by Barry Boehm in 1988. It combines the iterative nature of prototyping with the systematic and controlled aspects of the waterfall model. The development process is represented a...

Write short notes on: a. Object Oriented development b. System maintenance [5]
Object Oriented Development (OOD) is a software development approach that organizes a system as a collection of interacting objects, where each object combines both data (attributes) and behavior (methods/functions) together. Concept Description ------ Clas...
