Effort estimation is the practice of making accurate estimates of how long it will take to complete a piece of work. Software developers are notoriously bad at this. You will practice by estimating how long it takes you to complete a task.
| Question | Estimate | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | YOUR ESTIMATE | YOUR ACTUAL |
| 3 | YOUR ESTIMATE | YOUR ACTUAL |
| 4 | YOUR ESTIMATE | YOUR ACTUAL |
| 5 | YOUR ESTIMATE | YOUR ACTUAL |
| 6 | YOUR ESTIMATE | YOUR ACTUAL |
| Total | ESTIMATED TOTAL | ACTUAL TOTAL |
Calculate the error percentage: ((YOUR ACTUAL) - (YOUR ESTIMATE)) / (YOUR ESTIMATE)
TYPE YOUR ERROR PERCENTAGE HERE
A. Describe two types of software product where prototyping would not be useful.
TYPE YOUR ANSWER HERE: 2 PARAGRAPHS
B. Imagine that your team produced a throw-away prototype for a system that will be used inside your company. Your boss sees the prototype and realizes that the system was a bad idea in the first place. He decides to cancel the project and reassign developers to other projects. Is that a successful or failed use of prototyping, and why?
TYPE YOUR ANSWER HERE: 1 PARAGRAPH
Write in the suggested axioms for this algebraic specification of a stack data structure.
Hints: Algebraic specification deal with mathematical equations, not sequences of commands or assignments. You can use nested operations on both sides of the equals sign. You do not need any if-statements for this specification.
A stack is a list where items are both added to and removed from the same end of the list. The operations are:
| Comment | Operation |
|---|---|
| New -> Stack | Create a new stack |
| Empty(Stack) -> Boolean | True if the stack is empty |
| Push(Stack, Elem) -> Stack | Pushes an element onto the stack |
| Top(Stack) -> Elem | Return the top-of-stack without removing it |
| Drop(Stack) -> Stack | Remove the top-of-stack and return the modified stack |
| Swap(Stack) -> Stack | Switch the top-most and second-to-top element and return the modified stack, otherwise no effect |
The axioms are:
| Axiom | Comment |
|---|---|
| Empty(New) = True | A new stack is empty |
| Empty(Push(s, x)) = False | Any stack with anything pushed onto it is not empty |
| Top(New) = Undefined | The top of a new stack is undefined |
| WRITE YOUR AXIOM HERE | The top of the stack is the item most recently pushed |
| WRITE YOUR AXIOM HERE | Dropping an item from a stack that had an item pushed is the same as the stack before the push |
| WRITE YOUR AXIOM HERE | Dropping an item from a new stack is undefined |
| WRITE YOUR AXIOM HERE | The result of swapping a stack with x and y pushed onto it is the same as the stack with y and x pushed. |
| WRITE YOUR AXIOM HERE | Swapping a new stack that had one item, x, pushed onto it should return the same stack with x still there. |
| Swap(New) = New | Swapping a new stack is still a new stack |
Problems 4, 5, and 6 relate to this product: a multi-space parking meter.
Draw a UML class diagram for the design of the multi-space parking meter. Include class names, attributes, and key operations. Show associations with multiplicity and aggregation. Include exactly four classes: Meter, ParkingSpace, Car, and RatePlan. Do not model the DMV, cameras, UCI parking office, parking enforcement officers, or tickets.
USE ArgoUML OR Rational Rose TO MAKE A DIAGRAM, PRINT IT, AND STAPLE IT TO THESE PAGES.
The following decision tree uses headings to consider all combinations of the state of each feature of a parking space and its associated display. Fill in each leaf of the tree with a precise description of the contents of the display for that parking space in the specified situation. Do not leave any description unspecified: if the display is supposed to be blank, write "Blank".
Legend:
Draw a UML state chart for a parking space and its associated display. Include named states and transitions with events, guard conditions, and actions. Use one UML state for each distinct value in the decision tree above.
