📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. What can be used to complement decomposition techniques and offer a potentially valuable estimation approach in their own right?
  • (A) automated estimation tools
  • (B) empirical estimation models
  • (C) decomposition techniques
  • (D) both automated estimation tools and empirical estimation models
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (B) empirical estimation models

Explanation: an estimation model for computer software uses empirically derived formulas to predict effort as a function of loc or fp.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. Which of the following is not achieved by an automated estimation tools?
  • (A) predicting staffing levels
  • (B) predicting software cost
  • (C) predicting software schedules
  • (D) predicting clients demands
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (D) predicting clients demands

Explanation: demands can vary from client to client.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. Software project estimation can never be an exact science, but a combination of good historical data and systematic techniques can improve estimation accuracy.
  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (A) true

Explanation: none.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. The spiral model has two dimensions namely and
  • (A) diagonal, angular
  • (B) radial, perpendicular
  • (C) radial, angular
  • (D) diagonal, perpendicular
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) radial, angular

Explanation: the radial dimension of the model represents the cumulative costs and the angular dimension represents the progress made in completing each cycle. each loop of the spiral from x-axis clockwise through 360o represents one phase.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)

  • (A) shared data structures
  • (B) procedures that operate on shared data structure
  • (C) synchronization between concurrent procedure invocation
  • (D) all of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (D) all of the mentioned

Explanation: none.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. Which of the following are parameters involved in computing the total cost of a software development project?
  • (A) hardware and software costs
  • (B) effort costs
  • (C) travel and training costs
  • (D) all of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (D) all of the mentioned

Explanation: all these are accounted for in estimating a software development cost.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. Which of the following costs is not part of the total effort cost?
  • (A) costs of networking and communications
  • (B) costs of providing heating and lighting office space
  • (C) costs of lunch time food
  • (D) costs of support staff
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (C) costs of lunch time food

Explanation: this is a incurred by the employees.

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. What is related to the overall functionality of the delivered software?
  • (A) function-related metrics
  • (B) product-related metrics
  • (C) size-related metrics
  • (D) none of the mentioned
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (A) function-related metrics

Explanation: productivity is expressed in terms of the amount of useful functionality produced in some given time. function points and object points

📊 Software Project Management (SPM)
Q. A is developed using historical cost information that relates some software metric to the project cost.
  • (A) algorithmic cost modelling
  • (B) expert judgement
  • (C) estimation by analogy
  • (D) parkinson’s law
💬 Discuss
✅ Correct Answer: (A) algorithmic cost modelling

Explanation: the model uses a basic regression formula with parameters that are derived from historical project data and current as well as future project characteristics.
