491001
NOTE:
Time: 3 Hours Total Marks: 100
1.
What are the characteristics of a good software. Elaborate
What is Personal Software Process? Explain its framework.
What is a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) process model? Explain.
How is Function Point Analysis used in Project Planning? Explain.
What is Pareto Analysis technique?
Explain Software Project Scheduling Principles?
Explain Work Breakdown Structure with an example.
2.
Discuss some of the challenges faced in software project management.
Compare the Walston-Felix model with the SEL model on a software development expected to
involve 8 person-years of effort.
Calculate the number of lines of source code that can be produced.
ii) Calculate the duration of the development.

Calculate the peak manning and average rate of software team build up.
What Is Auditing? Discuss three Types of audits? What is the difference between first-party,
second-party, and third-party audits? What are the phases of an audit? What benefits can be
achieved by conducting software audits?

Explain Object-Oriented Analysis, Object-Oriented Design and Object-Oriented Modelling
approaches.
Briefly specify object-oriented metrics that can be used to estimate object oriented software
projects?
1. Answer question 1 and any FOUR from questions 2 to 7.
