I have modified them to be a little easier. 1. Explain the differences between the spiral model and the incremental model of software development. ~~Give an example of a project that would be well suited for each model.~~ 2. Provide 3 one reasons you think requirements frequently get added, removed, modified. 3. How do agile approaches attempt to solve the problem of requirements constantly changing?	Software Leadership Midterm Review

3/30/2010	- Pressman: Ch 17: Testing Strategies - Pressman: Ch 18: Testing Convential Applications	HW#6: 1. Sequence Diagram: Find a sequence diagram on the web, copy it into your homework (just copy the image, you do not need to redraw it) Explain the scenario depicted briefly (this will be similar to the objective of a use case (1-2 sentences)) For each method in each class, write the method name, the collaborators for that method, and a brief sentence describing in english what that method does. (Get this info from the diagram!) NOTE: Pick a diagram with at least two real classes (not actors) that depicts a real process, so your class names should NOT be "class1" or "sample1", etc... Overall you must document at least 5 methods... so make sure in total you end up with at least 5 methods. 2. Draw a state diagram for an automated cookbook built in to a microwave. Decide what capabilities you think it should have. 3. Pressman exercise 7.8 Essay review due this Thursday	Testing Techniques Unit Testing
4/6/2010	- Project Management Continued (from 3/23) - Guest speaker Ben Booth (Agile/Scrum)	Team: Prototype UI Individual: HW#7: Schedule Homework	Agile In Practice
4/13/2010	- Pressman: Ch 25: Project and Process Metrics	Team: Test Cases --- can be turned in this week or the next. If you turn it in next week, you won't have ability to revise test cases.(Also your final essay is due that week.) Individual HW#8: Pressman ch 17: exercises 3, 4 FindBugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/) is a static analysis tool. For this homework, go to the Bug Descriptions on the FindBugs website. Find a bug description that represents a bug that, without using FindBugs, would be considered a runtime problem that could be found using traditional system testing. (Traditional system testing is black-box testing.) For that bug provide the description from the FindBugs website, and your own interpretation of what that means. I only expect one or two sentences here. Repeat the above process for: a. A coding or logic problem that could not be found by traditional system testing b. A performance problem that may or may not be detectable by system testing Can FindBugs be used instead of testers? Should FindBugs be used at all? Explain.	Ch 25 Cyclomatic Complexity
4/20/2010	Other topics in SWE - Chapter 28 - Risk Managment - Refactoring (Maybe)	Team: Test cases (if not turned in earlier) Individual: Final Essay Revision Due Thursday.
