Software architecture is an important part of the modern software process. Of the following statements about it, which is true? |
|
|
|
|
(a) The
concept of "architecture" isn't very precise, so system
components can be represented in any way that is
convenient.
(b) Almost
everyone agrees that the Unified Modeling Language definition of
software architecture is the best.
(c) It
should always be represented in Unified Modeling Language
constructs as long as what is being created is object-oriented
software.
(d) Not
everyone agrees on the definition of or notation for software
architecture.

What differentiates the life-cycle phases of the modern process from the life-cycle phases of the conventional process? |
|
|
|
|
(a) The
phases can be executed in any order, as opposed to the sequential
order of the conventional process.
(b) The
phases are defined in terms of the artifact sets that have to be
produced rather than in terms of activities.
(c) The
phases represent states of the project rather than a sequence of
activities.
(d) The
phases include management activities, which are not considered in
the conventional process.
