4 10 Interaction diagrams are a deliverable of which phase? esign. nalysis. evelopment. Implementation (eployment). 11 Which of the following is a positive factor when deciding whether to use an gile method? large distributed team. Minimal formal requirements documentation. Regulatory or safety critical requirements. Strict contractual commitments. 12 Which of the following are responsibilities of the product owner commonly used in gile methodologies (for example but not limited to Scrum)? a. The priority of the items on the product backlog. b. eing the voice of the client/customer. c. Managing the project. d. Representing the business. b, c and d only. a, b and d only. a, b and c only. ll of them. 13 Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the Scrum Master in the Scrum methodology?

5 14 What is the PRIMRY purpose of the maintenance phase? Identify and fix bugs before software is implemented (deployed). Identify requirements errors after implementation (deployment). omplete the testing that could not be finished before implementation (deployment). Fix bugs identified after implementation (deployment). 15 Updating the glossary of terms (data dictionary) is performed in which phase(s)? a. nalysis. b. esign. c. evelopment. a and b. a only. b and c. a, b and c. 16 Which of the following is a TRUE statement about the purpose of the Software evelopment Lifecycle (SL)? The SL specifies a development process that must be used in a linear development methodology. The SL specifies the precise process that should be followed to develop an IT system. The SL specifies a precise process that should be used to solve any business problem. The SL specifies a framework of steps independent of the actual software development methodology used. 17 Which statement describes the use of the V-Model software development method in the software development lifecycle? ll of the seven stages of SL are performed for each iteration with verification and validation performed in the final stage. Each of the seven stages are performed iteratively before moving onto the next stage with verification and validation performed in the testing stage. The first three stages are performed once then verified and validated. The following four stages are iterative. Each stage has a corresponding verification and validation stage. opyright S 2016 Page 5 of 6 S Level 4 iploma in Software evelopment Methodologies Specimen Paper

Which of the following development methodologies would be preferred? Unified Process (UP). Lean. Scrum. XP. 19 Which of the following are facets needed by LL Software evelopment team members? a. ommunication skills. b. Leadership skills. c. oding skills. d. Practice a shared responsibility ethos. a and b only. a and c only. a and d only. b and c only. 20 Which of the following is a question that team members SHOUL NOT be asked as part of a daily/weekly progress meeting used in MOST gile methodologies? o they see any impediment that prevents the team from meeting the goals of the iteration? What will they do next to help the team achieve the goals of the iteration? What they did previously to help the team achieve its goals of the iteration? Which team member is stopping the team from achieving the goals of the iteration? -End of Paper- opyright S 2016 Page 6 of 6 S Level 4 iploma in Software evelopment Methodologies Specimen Paper
