Identify two legal techniques that have been applied to protect a software developer's ownership rights. _____________________ _____________________

Copyright laws were established A) to allow authors to distribute their work while maintaining certain ownership rights. B) to allow authors to maintain ownership of their ideas. C) to restrict access to publications to certain groups within society. D) to allow ideas to be traced back to their origins.

____________ is a notational system for representing object-oriented designs.It includes standards for representing _______________ diagrams that show how users interact with the proposed system as well as ______________diagrams that show how objects within the proposed system will interact.

Describe the data coupling represented by the following structure chart.

In each case below indicate whether the activity relates to a structure chart or a class diagram. A.___________________ Identifying actions to be performed B.___________________ Identifying the types of objects in a system C.___________________ Identifying relationships between "types" of objects D.___________________ Identifying how activities performed by different functions relate to one another

A) A module that handles all of a customers banking needs B) A module that handles only transactions related to checking accounts C) A module that only records deposits to checking accounts D) A module that collects data for monthly statements

Explain some of the ways in which software engineering has benefited from the development of the object-oriented paradigm.

Which of the following is an attempt to construct software from off-the-shelf components as is done in other engineering fields? A) Extreme programming B) Evolutionary prototyping C) Component architecture D) Open-source development

The Pareto principle is traditionally applied during which phase of software development? A) Requirements Analysis B) Design C) Implementation D) Testing

Prototyping occurs in two forms.In one,called __________________ prototyping the original prototype is slowly enhanced to become the final product.In the other,called _______________ prototyping,the original prototype is used as an "experimental" system that is ultimately discarded.
