Q61.
What is an implicit conceptual model?

a.

A model that is shared by people in the UoD

b.

A model that is not verbalized

c.

A model that is skillfully applied and functions in the background

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:An implicit conceptual model consists of the background knowledge shared by people in the UoD, part of it is not verbalized and it contains tacit knowledge, knowledge that is skillfully applied and functions in the background.
Q62.
What is the capacity of short-term memory?

a.

Seven slots

b.

Unlimited

c.

Relatively large

d.

Relatively small

Discuss
Answer: (a).Seven slots Explanation:In research on human information processing one often uses a model in which human memory consists of two components: a short-term memory in which information is being processed, and a long-term memory in which the permanent knowledge is stored. Short-term memory has a limited capacity: one often says that it has about seven slots.
Q63.
What is the main reason that eliciting correct and complete information is problematic in practice?

a.

Human limitations for processing information

b.

Differences in background between the client, or user, and the software specialist

c.

Complexity and variation in requirements that can be imposed upon software

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:Eliciting correct and complete information is an important prerequisite for success. This turns out to be rather problematic in practice. Asking the prospective user what is wanted does not generally work. More often than not we get a rather incomplete and inaccurate picture of the situation. Important reasons for this are the human limitations for processing information, selecting information, and solving problems. These limited human capabilities are yet aggravated by such factors as: – the complexity and variation in requirements that can be imposed upon software; – the differences in background between the client, or user, and the software specialist.
Q64.
What is the function of long-term memory?

a.

Store permanent knowledge

b.

Process information

c.

Accessed indirectly

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:In research on human information processing one often uses a model in which human memory consists of two components: a short-term memory in which information is being processed, and a long-term memory in which the permanent knowledge is stored. So, information is processed in a relatively small part of human memory. Long term memory is thus accessed in an indirect way.
Q65.
What are the types of external memories that humans employ when information is being processed?

a.

Blackboard

b.

Piece of paper

c.

Both a and b

d.

None of the above

Discuss
Answer: (c).Both a and b Explanation:In addition, humans also employ external memories when information is being processed: a blackboard, a piece of paper, etc.
Q66.
What are the limitations of a person's short-term memory that may impact the results of requirements engineering?

a.

Limited capacity of short-term memory

b.

Tendency to be prejudiced about selecting and using information

c.

Limited ability to simplify things and use models that do not fit reality

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The limitations of a person's short-term memory, such as its limited capacity and tendency to be prejudiced about selecting and using information, may impact the results of requirements engineering. Humans have a limited ability to simplify things and use models that do not fit reality which also can impact results of requirements engineering.
Q67.
How can the limitations of human memory and thinking affect software requirements?

a.

By leading to requirements that bear on the present situation, presently available information, recent events, etc.

b.

By simplifying things and using a model that does not really fit reality

c.

By causing the user to be unable to precisely state their requirements at an early stage

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The limitations of human memory and thinking can affect software requirements by leading to requirements that bear on the present situation and recent events, simplifying things and using a model that does not fit reality, and causing the user to be unable to precisely state their requirements at an early stage.
Q68.
What is one reason for the large maintenance problem in software development?

a.

Adapting software to new requirements of the user

b.

A lack of insight into the possibilities of automation

c.

Organizational problems in data processing

d.

Limited ability to simplify things and use models that do not fit reality

Discuss
Answer: (a).Adapting software to new requirements of the user Explanation:One of the reasons for the large maintenance problem in software development is the effort that goes into adapting software to new requirements of the user.
Q69.
What kind of software development process models are preferred to counter the trend of large maintenance problem?

a.

Waterfall model and its variants

b.

Prototyping, incremental development, and agile methods

c.

Data processing problems

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (b).Prototyping, incremental development, and agile methods Explanation:The software development process models that acknowledge the learning process, such as prototyping, incremental development, and agile methods are preferred over the waterfall model and its variants to counter the trend of large maintenance problem.
Q70.
What are the limitations of human memory that can impact the results of requirements engineering?

a.

Limited capacity

b.

Prejudice in selecting and using information

c.

Lack of rational thinking

d.

All of the above

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above Explanation:The limitations of short-term memory, such as limited capacity and the tendency to let recent events prevail, as well as limitations in rational thinking, can all impact the results of requirements engineering.
