8. Briefly define the following:

Design Pattern

Niche Market

Software Engineering Design

Software Product Design

User Interface

9. Software engineering considers both technical matters and non-technical matters. List two technical matters and two non-technical matters that are within the domain of software engineering

Answer 1

[1] [D] All of the above

[2] [A] Activity

Reason : Total 14 Type UML diagram possible :
[1] Structure Diagrams
[2] Class Diagram
[3] Component Diagram
[4] Deployment Diagram
Object Diagram
Package Diagram
Profile Diagram
Composite Structure Diagram
Behavioral Diagrams
Use Case Diagram
Activity Diagram
State Machine Diagram
Sequence Diagram
Communication Diagram
Interaction Overview Diagram
Timing Diagram

[3] [C] both of the above

Reason : Software Requirement Specification (SRS) written in any of the natural language (NL) and Formal methods.

[4] [D]

Reason : A model typically cannot be perfectly isomorphic with the target system. So Abstraction, composition and inception is used to reduce the degree of complexity.

[5] [A]

Reason : Requirement is just new things or problem, after requirement completed then solution will design.

[6] [A] Interaction diagrams

Reason :
Interaction diagrams describe exchanged messages between objects/class and sequence diagram is a specific kind of interaction diagram.
which capture the interaction between objects in the context of a collaboration.
