Assignment 4:

Title : Describe E-R Diagram, DFD, CFD and STD for the project

Objective : To understand actual system using analysis model.

Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of
• Analysis modeling
(e.g.: Data Modeling, Functional Modeling and Behavioral Modeling)

Theory : Analysis model is first technical representation of the system. This model
consists of data dictionary as its core and then followed by four
diagrams, i.e E-R diagrams, data flow diagram, control flow diagram and
State-transition diagram. All these diagrams are part of the functional
model.

Sample output : Description of E-R Diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Control Flow
Diagram and State Transition Diagram for the project undertaken by you.

References : Software Engineering, Roger Pressman, McGraw Hill 2nd edition.

Assignment 5:

Title : To compute effort using FP oriented estimation Model for the project
.
Objective : To study software estimation in early stages of software development.

Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of
• Project Metrics
• Software measurement

Theory : 1. Compute the count_total, it will be used to define the Complexity

of a project. (i.e count_total).
2. Find the complexity adjustment values based on response to the 14
questions (∑ fi).
3. Compute FP:
FP= Count_total [0.65+0.01*∑fi]
Sample Example :
count_total=500, ∑Fi=45
FP=count_total [0.65+ (0.01*∑Fi)]
FP=500*(0.65+ (0.01*45))
FP=550
Note: Carry out for your project undertaken.

Assignment 6:

Title : Prepare Design model for the project.

Objective : To get familiar with the design document and it is used after analysis
Phase.

Pre-Requisite : Knowledge of
• Design concepts
• Design methods

Theory : To translate the analysis model into design model related to the
Project undertaken by you.

Sample output : A design document which contains the pictorial representation

of the project (i.e. Diagrams for example E.R, DFD & STD) .

Assignment 7:

Title : Design Test cases for the project.

Objective : To understand the process of designing Test cases/Input Vectors.

Pre-Requisite : Knowledge of
• Knowledge of various testing techniques.

Theory : Testing begins “in the small” and progresses “to the large”. The early testing
focuses on a single component and applies various testing techniques tests to uncover errors in
program logic and function. After individual components are tested they must be integrated.
Testing continues as the software is constructed. Finally, a series of high order tests are executed
once the full program is operational.

Sample output: Unit testing, Integration testing and Validation testing.
