    QUESTION 3:

    A functionally independent design is characterized by which one of the following?


    a. High cohesion and low coupling
    b. Low cohesion and low coupling
    c. High cohesion and high coupling
    d. Low cohesion and high coupling
    e. Medium cohesion and medium coupling

    Correct Answer: a. High cohesion and low coupling

    Detailed Solution:
    A functionally independent design is characterized by high cohesion and low coupling. Please
    refer slide 26 of week 5 lecture material for more information.

    QUESTION 4:

    Which one of the following are usually not advantages of designing a system such that the
    modules have functional independence?
    a. Reusability
    b. Security
    c. Testability
    d. Maintainability
    e. Run time efficiency

    Correct Answer: b. Security


    e. Run time efficiency
    Detailed Solution:
    Functionally independent modules are easy for reuse, test and maintain. For more information,
    please see slide 28 of week 5 lecture material.

    QUESTION 5:

    Which one of the following is the most desirable type of cohesion?


    a. Functional
    b. Coincidental
    c. Sequential
    d. Temporal
    e. Procedural

    Correct Answer: a. Functional

    Detailed Solution:
    Functional cohesion is most desirable. Please see the diagram in slide 32 of week 5 lecture
    material for more information.

    QUESTION 6:

    In the design of a certain system, suppose all error handing functions have been put in a module,
    then the module will have which one of the following types of cohesion?
    a. Functional
    b. Logical
    c. Temporal
    d. Sequential
    e. Procedural

    Correct Answer: b. Logical

    Detailed Solution:
    Since the module has similar (error handling) functions, it can be said as a logical cohesion. Please
    refer slide 35 of week 5 lecture material for more information.

    QUESTION 7:

    Consider the following module handle-Student-Data that declares an array of data items sdata
    and it defines certain functions that operate on sdata. What is the type of cohesion exhibited by the
    module handle-Student-Data?

    a. Communicational
    b. Logical
    c. Temporal
    d. Procedural
    e. Coincidental

    Correct Answer: a. Communicational

    Detailed Solution:
    In the given example, the function refers/updates to same data structure. Therefore, this function
    exhibits communicational cohesion. For more information, please refer slides 40 and 41 of week 5
    lecture material.

    QUESTION 8:

    The coupling between to modules is determine by which one of the following?


    a. Interface complexity
    b. Combined size of the two modules
    c. Combined coherence of the two modules
    d. Sum of the cyclomatic metrics of the two modules
    e. Number of shared functions

    Correct Answer: a. Interface complexity

    Detailed Solution:
    Interface complexity determines the coupling between two modules.

    QUESTION 9:

    Which one of the following is the best type of coupling between two modules?
    a. Data
    b. Control
    c. Common
    d. Content
    e. Stamp

    Correct Answer: a. Data


    Detailed Solution:

    Data coupling is the best type of coupling between to modules.

    QUESTION 10:

    Which one of the following characteristics of a design indicates a poor design?


    a. Large depth
    b. Large width
    c. High fan-out
    d. High fan-in
    e. Low fan-out

    Correct Answer: c. High fan-out

    Detailed Solution:
    A design with high fan-out lack cohesion, therefore it is not a good characteristic of design.
