Front 1

What is data centered architecture?

Back 1

Promote integrability

Existing components changed or new components added without concern for other client components.

Front 2

What is a software process?

Back 2

Structure imposed on development of a software product.

Divides development work into unique phases with the intent of better planning and management.

Front 3

Horizontal Prototyping

Back 3

Displays wide range features without full implementation.

Good for showing system's abilities

Front 4

Vertical Prototyping

Back 4

Don't show all that's in system.

Focus on on implementing small set features but nigh-completed.

Good to help understand complex features.

Front 5

What is Requirements Engineering?

Back 5

Establishes services that customer requires and constraints under which it operates and developed.

Requirements Elicitation and analysis

Requirements Specifications

Requirements Validation

Front 6

Four software applications.

Back 6

System Software = Compilers, Editors

Real Time Software = Monitors real life events as they occur, business software

PC Software = Word Processing, Spreadsheets

Discrete Systems = Payroll, restructures data to facilitate business option.

Front 7

Describe structured design

Back 7

Deals with size/complexity of program, breaks up program hierarchy of modules that result in a program that is easy to create/maintain.

Primary tool = structure chart.

Front 8

What is throwaway prototyping?

Back 8

Prototypes can be done quickly, they can get quick feedback, thus refine them early in development.

It's cost effective.

Front 9

What is a context diagram?

Back 9

Is a diagram defines boundaries between the system, or part of system, it's enviornment, showing entities that interact.

Front 10

Waterfall Model

Back 10

Requirements = Understanding what the customer needs.

Design = DFDs.

Implementation = Coding, longest stage.

Verification = JUnit testing.

Maitenance = Fixing problems with finished product.
