    This midterm exam for a software engineering course tests students on topics like software development models, requirements, design patterns, and use case diagrams. It includes multiple choice questions about verification vs validation, essential software attributes, advantages of incremental development models, and examples of requirement types. It also asks students to identify waterfall vs incremental characteristics, complete statements about software engineering activities and management roles, and define design pattern concepts. Practical questions involve using a design pattern to encrypt/decrypt data and creating functional use cases and non-functional requirements for a university portal system with teaching, student, and administrative users.

    Sample Midterm Exam


    1. True or False with justification (not correction):
    a. Safety control systems are better developed through a series of prototypes.
    b. In customized products, the specification is owned by the software developer.
    c. Accommodating change in waterfall model is difficult after the process is underway.
    d. Ethnography can identify new features to be added to the system.
    e. Experienced staff leaving the project is a risk that affects the business.

    2. Choose the best answer:


    a. Ensuring that a system conforms to its specification is called
    i. verification
    ii. validation
    b. Essential attributes of good software include
    i. maintainability
    ii. efficiency
    iii. acceptability
    iv. all of the above
    c. The quality of the software system tends to degrade over time when using
    i. the waterfall model
    ii. incremental development
    d. More rapid delivery and deployment of useful software to the customer is possible
    when using
    i. the waterfall model
    ii. incremental development
    e. Who could benefit from a requirements document?
    i. Managers
    ii. Testers
    iii. Customers
    iv. All of the above
    f. Software requirements should be consistent. This means that
    i. they should be written as complete sentences
    ii. they should include all the required functionalities.
    iii. there should be no conflicts among the requirements.
    iv. they should be consistent with the intentions of the stakeholders
    g. "The response time of the system shall be less than 0.5 seconds." is considered a
    i. usability requirement
    ii. performance requirement
    iii. space requirement
    iv. dependability requirement
    h. "The space user shall be able to use the space system without problems after a 5-
    hour training." is considered a
    i. usability requirement
    ii. performance requirement
    iii. space requirement
    iv. dependability requirement

    3. Complete the following:


    a. ……..………………………… model is appropriate when the requirements are well-
    understood and changes will be fair limited during the design process.
    b. ……..………………………… testing is concerned with testing the individual functions of
    the system.
    c. Requirements validation is important because …………………..……..…………………………
    d. The four main software engineering activities are ……..…………………………,
    ……..………………………… , ……..………………………… and ……..…………………………
    e. ………………………………………. and ………………………………… are examples for management
    activities.
    f. GoF patterns are ………………………………, ……………………………….. and

    4. Use a design pattern to develop the classes (in complete code) to store a string of data
    (class Data) as is or stored after being encrypted by any possible combination of DES or AES
    algorithms. The data might be encrypted using only one of them or using both in any
    possible order.
    5. University portal systems can include many portals to serve multiple areas. In this problem,
    we are concerned with the educational portal. The users for this system are of three types;
    teaching staff (TS), students (ST) and administrative staff (AS).
    a. List 10 functional requirements for the given system related to the different types of
    users. Clarify in the requirement which of the three types of users are concerned
    with this requirement. Each user type should appear in at least 3 functional
    requirements.
    b. Draw the use case diagram for part (a) showing the three types of users.
    c. List 5 non-functional requirements for the given system.
