Part A
What are the various categories of software? What are the fundamental activities of a software process?
Answer
Software categories include system software, application software, engineering/scientific software, embedded software, product-line software, web applications, and artificial intelligence software. The fundamental activities of a software process are software specification (defining requirements), software development (design and implementation), software validation (testing to ensure it meets customer needs), and software evolution (modifying the software to meet changing requirements).
Compare and Contrast Functional Requirements with Non-Functional Requirements.
Answer
Functional requirements define what the system must do, such as specific services, tasks, or functions, and are typically expressed as inputs, behaviors, and outputs. Non-functional requirements define how the system performs, focusing on quality attributes like reliability, performance, security, scalability, and usability. While functional requirements are essential for system utility, non-functional requirements are critical for system acceptability and operational success.
