Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 7, Problem 7.10E
Explanation of Solution
Open source:
- The key benefits of open source are that it will open up development to a wide range of developers and accelerates the development and debugging of the product.
- It is difficult to develop product for each customer. It will increase the development cost and it also requires more time and effort.
- Addition of requirements to each product and developing them is a difficult task.
- When it is made open source, the source code will be available to the customers and can make changes...

The members of a systems development project team have gone out for lunch together, and as often happens, the conversation has turned to work. The team has been working on the development of the user interface design, and so far, work has been progressing smoothly. The team should be completing work on the interface prototypes early next week. A combination of storyboards and language prototypes has been used in this project. The storyboards depict the overall structure and flow of the system, but the team developed language prototypes of the actual screens because they felt that seeing the actual screens would be valuable for the users.
Chris (the youngest member of the project team): I read an article last night about a really cool way to evaluate a user interface design. It's called usability testing, and it's done by all the major software vendors. I think we should use it to evaluate our interface design.
Heather (system analyst): I've heard of that, too, but isn't it really…
There are cases where an explicit implementation modeling activity, performed by trained OO analyst/designers, might be very important.
Which is correct?
A. If you intend to generate code directly from the model and if you are doing component based development (CBD) to reuse components.
B. If you are considered a packaged solution from a software vendor.
C. If you are re-developing an existing application for security reasons.
D. If the project is not based on OO principles
You are asked to do some requirement development. Suppose you are asked to develop a booking system for a public library system
Define a possible scope for the system using the following steps. First list a wide range of things that the system could do. Then narrow down the scope by selecting the most important features that you would implement in the first release of the system. Finally, give a precise problem statement for the system.
Identify stakeholders of the system. Then select one important stakeholder and design a list of questions for interviewing that stakeholder.
Give functional requirements and quality requirements of the system.
Create a list of use cases and describe two of them in detail using the method discussed in class (two-column method). Then draw use cases diagram to describe the system Using UML. Indicate extension, generalization and inclusion, if there are any.

To overcome this, the employee management system is implemented to manage everything associated with the company. This project implements a system like a management system for an employee. By using this project, all the company-related information can be consolidated by HR. This system includes two main components like employee and admin. The Admin is responsible for the whole company information, like payroll, leave management & can also include employee details. Similarly, every employee can utilize this system to verify the details of salary, leave status, holiday calendar, etc. Plan and prepare a software engineering project and illustrate methods to implement the same.arrow_forwardAssume the role of a new software developer in a technology company.

- In one of the papers we recently read “Storyboarding as a Means of Requirements Elicitation...” the conclusion started with: “Requirements Analysis is a complex process that involves users and developers during most of the software development cycle. At the beginning of the project, requirements are obtained using different techniques with all the stakeholders. Later, during development, requirements are refined and adapted to the development evolution, and it is necessary to keep users updated and take their feedback into account.” What is your perspective on integrating the user into the requirements and design process?
