Waterfall, Spiral, Unified Process, Agile and Extreme Programming are frequently asked through diagrams, comparisons, advantages and disadvantages.
LOC, Function Point and COCOMO should be prepared with formulas, steps and numerical examples.
Feasibility, SRS, DFD, data dictionary, modularity, object-oriented design and design patterns are major long-answer topics.
Verification versus validation, white-box versus black-box, unit, integration, system and acceptance testing are important comparisons.
Prepare reengineering, reverse engineering, restructuring, forward engineering and their differences with clear diagrams.
SQA, SCM, CMM and project management plans are important for 7-mark and 14-mark answers.
Additional Software Engineering study material will be added here.
