GROUP – C

( Long Answer Type Questions )

Answer any three of the following. 3 × 15 = 45

8. a) Explain Meta Model. 3
b) A Library Membership Software (LMS) should support
the following three options :
(i) New member
(ii) Renewal
(iii) Cancel membership.
When the new member option is selected, the software
should ask for the member's name address and phone
number. If proper inform tion is entered, the software
should create a membership record for the new member
with membership id and print a bill for the annual
membership cha ge and the security deposit payable. If
the renewal opt on s chosen, the LMS should ask for
the membership d. If the membership id is valid, then
the membership expiry date in the membership record
should be updated and the annual membership charge
payable by the member should be printed. If the
membership id is not valid, an error message will be
displayed. If the cancel membership option is selected,
the system should ask for the membership id again. If
the membership id is valid, then the membership
cancellation process can be executed and a cheque for
the balance amount due to the member is printed and
membership record will be deleted.
Draw Decision Tree and also implement Decision Table
for the system. 3

coding header ? 2+1

9. a) Explain different types of 'performance testing'. 3

b) Explain 'equivalence class partitioning' with an example.

c) Differentiate between 'code walkthr ugh' and 'code

d) A software product's development cost is Rs. 50,000

and total size is 125 KLOC During maintenance, to
correct the errors, s me coding portions has been

new perfection module will be implemented and for this
module extra 55 KLOC size of code has been added.

numbers. Now draw the control flow graph for that
C function. Also find its cyclomatic complexity using
possible methods. 1+2+3
c) Write down two differences between a structure chart
and a flow chart. 2

12. a) Draw the context diagram and Level 1 DFD for the
following Mail Order Processing System. 7
"HMV Records is a mail-o der company that distributes
CDs and tapes at discount prices to record club
members. When an order processing clerk receives an
order form, he r she verifies that the sender is a club
member by checking the member file. If the sender is
not a membe , the clerk returns the order along with a
membership application form. If the customer is a
member he clerk verifies the order item data by
checking the Item file. Then the clerk enters the order
data and saves it to the Daily Order file. The clerk also
prints an invoice and shipping list for each order, which
are forwarded to order fulfilment".

Gnatt charts, if you were to perform the duties of a
project manager. 2
c) How are the concepts of Cohesion and Coupling useful
in arriving at good software design ? 6
