Course Outcome:

After learning the course the students should be able to:

1. Prepare SRS (Software Requirement Specification) document and SPMP (Software Project
Management Plan) document.
2. Apply the concept of Functional Oriented and Object Oriented Approach for Software Design.
3. Recognize how to ensure the quality of software product, different quality standards and software
review techniques.
4. Apply various testing techniques and test plan in.
5. Able to understand modern Agile Development and Service Oriented Architecture Concept of
Industry.

List of Experiments:

(Pl. Note: List of Experiments and Tutorials should be as per theory covered in the class, below
mentioned practical are just for the reference purpose)

Tutorial-1

Study the complete Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and analyze various activities conducted as a
part of various phases. For each SDLC phase, identify the objectives and summaries outcomes.

Tutorial-2
Consider any project to be developed in any technology as a Software Architect or Project Manager.
Construct Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document for the project.

Tutorial-3

Considering your immense expertise in software development, The Absolute Beginners Inc. has recently
allotted you a mega project. The goal of the project is to create a database of all Hindi films released since
2000. The software would allow one to generate a list of top ten hit films, top ten flop films, best comedy
films, and so on. Using your prior experience you have decided the approximate sizes of each module of the
software as follow:

 Data entry (0.9 KDSI)

 Data update (0.7 KDSI)
 Query (0.9 KDSI)
 Report generation and display (2 KDSI)

Also take into consideration the following cost drivers with their ratings:

 Storage constraints (Low)

 Experience in developing similar software (High)
 Programming capabilities of the developers (High)
 Application of software engineering methods (High)
 Use of software tools (High)

(All other cost drivers have nominal rating).

Now answer the following:

 Solve the problem by Applying Basic and intermediate COCOMO

o Find Project Type?

o Find Project Size?
o Find Initial Effort Estimation?
o Find Adjusted Effort Estimation?
o Find schedule?
o Find minimum size of the team you would require to develop this system?

 Assuming that your client would pay Rs. 50,000 per month of development, how much would be the
likely billing?

Tutorial-4:

Function Point: http://conferences.embarcadero.com/article/32094#Bonus .

Analyze the case study and identify the error and solve it. At the end, need to assess calculation part of effort
using FP oriented estimation model.

Tutorial-5

Consider the following Java code segment:

1. Guarantees that all independent execution path is exercised at least once;
2. Guarantees that both the true and false side of all logical decisions are exercised;
3. Executes the loop at the boundary values and within the boundaries.

Sketch out Design control flow diagram and Apply Cyclomatic complexity for given Code. Identify
numbers of Independence path require for testing.
