Part A
Describe requirements-driven functional decomposition.
Answer
Requirements-driven functional decomposition is a top-down approach where a complex system is broken down into smaller, manageable functional modules based on the defined system requirements. The process begins by identifying the high-level requirements and recursively partitioning them into sub-functions until each component is simple enough to be implemented and tested independently. This method ensures that the final software architecture directly maps to the user needs and functional specifications.
What are three levels of process and their attributes?
Answer
The three levels of process are:
- Meta-process: Defines the organizational policies, standards, and guidelines that govern how software processes are selected and tailored.
- Macro-process: Describes the overall project lifecycle, including major phases like inception, elaboration, construction, and transition, focusing on project management and milestones.
- Micro-process: Focuses on the day-to-day activities performed by individuals or small teams, such as coding, unit testing, and design refinement within a single iteration.
