HOMEWORK..
CHAPTER 2 of PRESSMAN!
2.12 - provide three cool examples of fourth generation
techniques [make a list].
2.13 - Which is more important - The product or the
process??
Limit is 100 WORDS [no more, and write the word count!]
2.5 - Which of the software engineering paradigms presented
in this chapter do you
think would be most effective?? WHY??
Limit one page!

End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Form1.BackColor = QBColor(9)
End Sub
Private Sub Command3_Click()

CHAPTER 11-
50 words or less....
a. requirements
analysis = first phase of SE, information gathering and analysis
HOW???
*** FAST = facilitated action specification techniques
*** QFD = Quality functional deployment
*** USE - CASES = scenario
Data:
define data objects
describe data attributes
establish data relationships
BEHAVIOR:
indicate different states of the system
specify events that cause the system to change state
-----process:
model, partition,
prototype, specification principles, review
----------------------
Now for a couple of homework problems:
not from book:
1. Find a cool
'specification document template' from the web:
a. print it out
b. give your opinion
on it in a paragraph
c. example [you
can't use this one, find your own:
