1. The goal of structured programming is which the following:

a. To have well indented programs
b. To be able to infer the flow of control from the compiled code
c. To be able to infer the flow of control from the program source code
d. To avoid the use of GO TO statementse.
e. To have modular programs

Answer:- d, e

2. Unrestricted use of GO TO statements is normally avoided while writing a program, since:

a. It increases the running time of programs
b. It increases memory requirements of programs
c. It results in larger executable code sizes
d. It makes debugging difficult
e. It increases the effort required to adequately test the software

Answer:- d, e

About Software Engineering

Large scale software development poses special challenges. This course targets to expose the students to the challenges of large scale software development and would expose the students as to how to overcome those. Starting with basic life cycle model concepts, it would discuss requirements specification, design, and testing issues. The concepts will be illustrated with appropriate examples.

COURSE LAYOUT

  • Week 1  :  Introduction
  • Week 2  :  Life Cycle Models I
  • Week 3  :  Life Cycle Models II
  • Week 4  :  Requirements analysis and specification
  • Week 5  :  Basics of software design
  • Week 6  :  Procedural design methodology
  • Week 7  :  Object-oriented concepts
  • Week 8  :  Introduction to UML: Class and Interaction Diagrams
  • Week 9  :  Object-oriented analysis and design
  • Week 10 : Testing I
  • Week 11 : Testing II
  • Week 12 : Testing III

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
