Deveropment flexibility is high, and requirements may change radically. The development team is all
JA new project has an average novelty for the software supplier that is going to execute it.
located at the same office and the software house as a whole tends to be formal in its standards and
procedures. The product should be very reliable, and the algorithms are complex. The supplier would
like to reuse the project with suitable modifications on further contracts. Developers are familiar with
the platform and they are capable of conducting this specific type of project. The toolsets available to
the development team are judged to be typical for this size of company, but schedule pressure is tight
to meet a deadline.
а.
What would be the scale factor in this case?
b.
- hat would be the estimate of effort if the size of the application was estimated
as in the region of 4000 lines of code?
C.
What would be the impact of all effort multipliers on the project estimation?
The first step in the usability process is to study the intended users and use of the product. At a minimum, developers should visit a customer site so that they have a feel for how the product will be used. Individual user characteristics and variability in tasks are the two factors with the largest impact on usability, so they need to be
studied carefully. When considering users, one should keep in mind that they often include installers, maintainers, system administrators, and other support staff in addition to the people who sit at the keyboard. The concept of "user" should be defined to
include everybody whose work is affected by the product in some way, including the users of the system's end product or output even if they never see a single screen.
Explain four (4) benefits when know the user.
The team has decided to focus on agile principles of transparency andcollaborative planning to address risk.
Briefly explain the benefits in using this approach.

Imagine that you are working in a software firm as a team leader and you have asked to implement a design pattern for booking of a football court. Assume that there are different types of members like life time, Annual and temporary. Already this firm has a football court successfully running at Muscat and they would like to open their business opportunities to other countries as franchises and the duration and policies were different for each countries. Each country office will have their own manager to take care of the activities of that office. Any one wants to be part of the club they have to register, once done they will get notification for the registration as well as for the future announcements too.

- A new startup has developed a product. The design team and the programming team are a homogeneous group of people. What is an ethical implication of using a team composed in this manner? A) objectivity B) fairness C) equity D) biasarrow_forwardSuppose that Ms. Hamir stacked the deck with her design proposal. In other words, she purposefully under-designed the less expensive solution and produced a cost estimate for the higher-end version that she knew would come in over budget if it were chosen. She also knew that the customer had a tendency to hire design consultants to do build projects. Discuss with your classmates if you think it is unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome. Suppose instead that Ms. Hamir had prepared a report that truthfully recommended the more expensive option as the better choice for the customer in her best professional opinion. Suppose that the customer decided on the less expensive option solely to reduce costs without regard to the project's security outcomes. Would Ms. Hamir be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision? Why or why not, discuss this further with your classmates.arrow_forwardWhat kinds of red flags should one look out for to determine whether or not a software project will be unsuccessful?

- An agile project's documentation consists of user stories and test cases. A user story specifies a feature that a user needs, while a test is an executable form of a user story and, as such, is directly connected to the user narrative that it describes. Early testing is critical in agile development. As part of the agile development process, it is recommended that acceptance tests be written for each user story before any code is written. Take a look at the following scenario using a university's Student Information System: A university student may use the system to register for courses and make payments online. Please submit at least FIVE user stories as part of the acceptance test for the aforementioned scenario. To be successful, you must provide a brief explanation to back up your response.arrow_forward. You have been asked to work as a usability consultant for a company where the development team has created a new version of an existing product. Three important requirements were that the new user interface should be efficient, intuitive and attractive. a) How would you interpret these requirements in the light of your knowledge of Human Computer Interaction? b) The development team claim that their new user interface is more efficient than the old one. Explain in detail how you could measure whether this claim is justified. c) The developers also claim that their new version is already more intuitive than the old one. Explain in detail how you could measure whether this claim is justified.arrow_forwardYou will be in a better position to overcome the hurdles you are likely to encounter while developing the framework if you consider the concerns and barriers that arise with each of the potential solutions as well as the hurdles you are likely to face while developing the framework. This will put you in a better position to overcome the hurdles you are likely to encounter while developing the framework. As a result, you will be in a stronger position to surmount the challenges that are likely to arise throughout the process of designing the framework. Do you think that by using cloud computing, it will be feasible to resolve these issues? In light of this, what are your opinions on the importance of bringing it up?arrow_forward
