This set of Software Project Management (SPM) Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on Software Project Management Set 10

Q1 | A                  view shows the system hardware and how software components are distributed across the processors in the system.
  • physical
  • logical
  • process
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: physical
Explaination:
a physical view is implemented by system engineers implementing the system hardware.
Q2 | The UML was designed for describing
  • object-oriented systems
  • architectural design
  • srs
  • both object-oriented systems and architectural design
Answer: both object-oriented systems and architectural design
Explaination:
the uml was designed for describing object-oriented systems and, at the architectural design stage, you often want to describe systems at a higher level of abstraction.
Q3 | Which of the following is an architectural conflict?
  • using large-grain components improves performance but reduces maintainability
  • introducing redundant data improves availability but makes security more difficult
  • localizing safety-related features usually means more communication so degraded performance
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
high availability architecture can be affected by several design factors that are required to be maintained to ensure that no single points of failure exist in such design.
Q4 | Which of the following is not included in Architectural design decisions?
  • type of application
  • distribution of the system
  • architectural styles
  • testing the system
Answer: testing the system
Explaination:
architectural design decisions include decisions on the type of application, the distribution of the system, the architectural styles to be used, and the ways in which the architecture should be documented and evaluated.
Q5 | Architecture once established can be applied to other products as well.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
systems in the same domain often have similar architectures that reflect domain concepts.
Q6 | Which of the following pattern is the basis of interaction management in many web- based systems?
  • architecture
  • repository pattern
  • model-view-controller
  • different operating system
Answer: model-view-controller
Explaination:
model-view-controller pattern is the basis of interaction management in many web-based systems.
Q7 | What describes how a set of interacting components can share data?
  • model-view-controller
  • architecture pattern
  • repository pattern
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: repository pattern
Explaination:
the majority of systems that use large amounts of data are organized around a shared database or repository.
Q8 | Which view in architectural design shows the key abstractions in the system as objects or object classes?
  • physical
  • development
  • logical
  • process
Answer: logical
Explaination:
it is possible to relate the system requirements to entities in a logical view.
Q9 | Which of the following is a type of Architectural Model?
  • static structural model
  • dynamic process model
  • distribution model
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
all these models reflects the
Q10 | Why is decomposition technique required?
  • software project estimation is a form of problem solving
  • developing a cost and effort estimate for a software project is too complex
  • all of the mentioned
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
for these reasons, we decompose the problem, re-characterizing it as a set of smaller problems.
Q11 | Cost and effort estimation of a software uses only one forms of decomposition, either decomposition of the problem or decomposition of the process.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
estimation uses one or both forms of partitioning.
Q12 | If a Direct approach to software project sizing is taken, size can be measured in
  • loc
  • fp
  • loc and fp
  • none of the mentioned
Answer: loc
Explaination:
loc or line of code is a direct measure to estimate project size.
Q13 | Which software project sizing approach develop estimates of the information domain characteristics?
  • function point sizing
  • change sizing
  • standard component sizing
  • fuzzy logic sizing
Answer: function point sizing
Explaination:
none.
Q14 | How many forms exists of Barry Boehm’s COCOMO Model?
  • two
  • three
  • four
  • no form exists
Answer: three
Explaination:
the three forms include the basic, intermediate and advanced cocomo model.
Q15 | Who suggested the four different approaches to the sizing problem?
  • putnam
  • myers
  • boehm
  • putnam and myers
Answer: putnam and myers
Explaination:
none.
Q16 | In many cases, it is often more cost- effective to acquire, rather than develop, computer software.
  • true
  • false
Answer: true
Explaination:
managers are faced with a make-buy decision in such situations.
Q17 | A make-buy decision is based on whether
  • the software may be purchased off-the- shelf
  • “full-experience” or “partial-experience” software components should be used
  • customer-built software should be developed
  • all of the mentioned
Answer: all of the mentioned
Explaination:
none..
Q18 | Which of the following is not one of the five information domain characteristics of Function Point (FP) decomposition?
  • external inputs
  • external outputs
  • external process
  • external inquiries
Answer: external process
Explaination:
external inputs, external outputs, external inquiries, internal logical files, external interface files are the five domains.
Q19 | The project planner must reconcile the estimates based on decomposition techniques to produce a single estimate of effort.
  • true
  • false
Answer: false
Explaination:
the planner must determine the cause of divergence and then reconcile the estimates.
Q20 | Programming language experience is a part of which factor of COCOMO cost drivers?
  • personnel factor
  • product factor
  • platform factor
  • project factor
Answer: personnel factor
Explaination:
none.
Q21 | If an Indirect approach is taken, then the sizing approach is represented as
  • loc
  • fp
  • fuzzy logic
  • loc and fp
Answer: fp
Explaination:
a function point (fp) is a unit of measurement to express the amount of business functionality an information system provides to a user.
Q22 | Project management involves the planning, monitoring, and control of the people, process, and events that occur as software evolves from a preliminary concept to an operational implementation.
  • true
  • false
Answer: true
Explaination:
none.
Q23 | 2 COLLECTION OF DATA
  • people
  • product
  • popularity
  • process
Answer: popularity
Explaination:
effective software project management focuses on the four p’s: people, product, process, and project.
Q24 | PM-CMM stands for
  • people management capability maturity model
  • process management capability maturity model
  • product management capability maturity model
  • project management capability maturity model
Answer: people management capability maturity model
Explaination:
the people management maturity model defines the following key practice areas for software people: recruiting, selection, performance management, training, compensation, career development, organization and work design, and team/culture development.
Q25 | Which of the following is not a project manager’s activity?
  • project control
  • project management
  • project planning
  • project design
Answer: project design
Explaination:
the design part of any project management is done by the project team.
