Good Requirements and delivery model
Correct Answer
A. Good Requirements and delivery modelExplanation
The correct answer is "Good Requirements and delivery model". This is because having good requirements ensures that all the necessary information and specifications are clearly defined, which helps in accurately estimating the cost and delivering the project successfully. Additionally, a good delivery model ensures that the project is executed efficiently and effectively, meeting all the requirements and delivering the desired outcomes. Therefore, both good requirements and a solid delivery model are essential for a good estimate.Rate this question:

Overestimating is more costly then Underestimating
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Underestimating is more costly than overestimating. This is because underestimating can lead to inadequate planning, insufficient resources, and potential failure to meet goals or deadlines. On the other hand, overestimating may result in excess resources or unnecessary expenses, but it allows for more flexibility and ensures that goals are more likely to be met.Rate this question:

RUP – Rational unified Process, has 4 phases..
-
Specification and Requirement Analysis, Development or Coding, Testing and Documentation and Implementation
-
Inception, Elaboration, Construction and Transition
-
Inception, Construction, Transition and migration
-
Specification and Requirement Analysis, Development or Coding, Testing and Deployment
Correct Answer
A. Inception, Elaboration, Construction and TransitionExplanation
The correct answer is "Inception, Elaboration, Construction and Transition". This is the correct sequence of phases in the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Inception is the initial phase where the project scope and objectives are defined. Elaboration is the phase where requirements are refined and a detailed project plan is created. Construction is the phase where the actual development and coding of the software takes place. Transition is the final phase where the software is deployed and released to the users.Rate this question:

Which of the below process is NOT software development process
-
On-the-shelf
-
Spiral
-
Prototyping
-
Design-to-Tools
Correct Answer
A. On-the-shelfExplanation
The process "On-the-shelf" is not a software development process. This term typically refers to purchasing pre-built software or using off-the-shelf software solutions instead of developing custom software. It involves selecting and implementing existing software products that meet the organization's needs, rather than creating software from scratch.Rate this question:
