1. SWE 3313 Midterm Review
Ch. 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, 6

2. Ch. 1 Intro to SWE
What are statements that define and qualify what the program needs to do?
What are statements that constrain the ways in which the software can be designed and implemented?
Which type of requirement statement defines what the program needs to do?
What requirements qualify the functional requirements and specify in what manner they need to be achieved?

3. Ch. 2 Building a System
The software design of the “SPSU Student Software System” is needed for the School of Computing & Software Engineering in SPSU. This system lets SPSU students access all the different working applications of all the different software needed by all the different CS, SWE, and IT courses, students, faculty, and staff via a WEB download. This software would install a 4 hour usage of a specific application per download to any computer used by students, faculty, and staff.
a. List some of the additional information a project team would need to know to proceed. (10 pts)
b. How would you propose for the project team to obtain the additional information? Be specific in what needs to be done. (10 pts)

4. Ch. 3 Engineering Software
Explain three main causes of software projects failing. Give methods to avoid the causes to occur.
From the definition of software engineering, list three areas that software engineering must touch upon
When and where was the term software engineering first introduced?
Can a software engineer become a certified Professional Engineering (PE)? Explain.

5. Ch. 4 Software Processes
What are the fundamental phases/activities that are common to all software development models? Explain two of them fully.
What are the advantages of using incremental models? Give one of an incremental model diagrams.
What are the advantages of iterative models? Give one of an iterative model diagrams.

6. Ch. 13 Software Project Management
Identify and explain three project management activities. Include their purpose (why).
The software design of the “SPSU Student Software System” is needed for the School of Computing & Software Engineering in SPSU. This system lets SPSU students access all the different working applications of all the different software needed by all the different CS, SWE, and IT courses, students, faculty, and staff via a WEB download. This software would install a 4 hour usage of a specific application per download to any computer used by students, faculty, and staff.
 What is involved in project estimation & scheduling? Give small example.
Create a draft of the plan for this team project. Give some specific activities, with the dependencies and an estimation of time for each activity
Create the PERT of #d with the critical path. Show all work. (You must do #d to do this one!)
Explain the computation of Earned Value with some of the other measures in general. What information is obtained? How is the Earned Value used with regard to an on-going software engineering project?

7. Ch. 6 Requirements
What is the difference between requirements & specification?
SPSU wants your team to do a SDP and a SRS for this project. Explain what your team will do.
Explain when will you do the Context Diagram?
