Discuss possible ramifications of these opposing objectives on the project. What would you do if
you were the manager?

Write an argumentative essay on the role of testing in a software project. The essay should describe testing's purpose and limitations, and touch upon black-box, white-box and acceptance testing, ultrahigh reliability and beta-testing. (A mere list of definitions will receive little credit

Create an architecture for a software system that manages the daily operation of a car service and repair business. The system will have the following functionality:

1. Administration staff make a service booking for a customer at a time and date for a service/repair job, using a workstation in the office.
2. Mechanics log time and parts used against the customer’s job using a workstation in the workshop.
3. A stock is kept of commonly used parts and materials. The system keeps track of current inventory and re-orders automatically as needed. The system will also place a one-off order with a supplier when an uncommonly used part is need for a job.
4. Customer job records are held for future reference, and to be able to automatically email customers with a reminder that service is due at fixed intervals.

Show major subsystems and how they are related/connected. Students are expected to make and state any assumptions necessary in order to complete the assignment.

Q1: Draw a sequence diagram to show the interaction perspective when a customer buys a camera over the online shopping website.

Assume the following 6 objects in the system: -

1. Customer
2. Order System
3. Credit Card Company
4. Supplier
5. Warehouse
6. Courier
Draw a diagram that models the following scenario.

 A customer places an order for a digital camera, and supplies credit card details and address etc. (You do not need to model the detail steps of making the order.)
 The System asks the Credit Card Company to authorise the transaction. (Assume it is successful.)
 The System checks if the camera is in stock in the warehouse (the System contains an inventory module).

Explain the relationships between Procedural, Object oriented and Event-driven paradigms.

Briefly introduce two or three application cases and solutions of Information and Network Security in business, daily life, military or industrial fields.
● Besides text, you can use diagrams or graphs in your report.

Using examples,evaluate the open source model of software development.In your discussion highlight some of its advantages and disadvantages.furthermore,explain some of the alternative that also exist.

Critically outline the pro and con's of both strategies described above.which strategy do you favour?justify your answer with relevant theory
