Suppose you are working as a lead developer for a software house (This software house is a new startup so the developers are not well trained) and you are asked to deliver the project before the estimated time with the same available resources (i.e. neither the salary nor the practitioners are added).In this kind of situation:
Which type of risks are identified?
Discuss how would you plan the situation being a team leader (hint: Contingency plan)?
Suppose that Ms. Hamir stacked the deck with her design proposal. In other words, she purposefully under-designed the less expensive solution and produced a cost estimate for the higher-end version that she knew would come in over budget if it were chosen. She also knew that the customer had a tendency to hire design consultants to do build projects. Discuss with your classmates if you think it is unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome.
Suppose instead that Ms. Hamir had prepared a report that truthfully recommended the more expensive option as the better choice for the customer in her best professional opinion. Suppose that the customer decided on the less expensive option solely to reduce costs without regard to the project's security outcomes. Would Ms. Hamir be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision? Why or why not, discuss this further with your classmates.
At the University of Technology and Applied Sciences, you were entrusted with developing an integrated interactive solution for computerizing registration and administration, and you did an excellent job of meeting the requirements of this mission. When the project was finished, users voiced their displeasure with the slow reaction times and poor performance of the project, which was brought to our attention. It's possible that drawing a cause and effect diagram can help you figure out what's causing the problem and what consequences it's going to have as a result.

You have been asked to work as a usability consultant for a company where the development team has created a new version of an existing product. Three important requirements were that the new user interface should be efficient, intuitive and attractive. a. How would you interpret these requirements in the light of your knowledge of Human Computer Interaction? b. The development team claim that their new user interface is more efficient than the old one. Explain in detail how you could measure whether this claim is justified. c. The developers also claim that their new version is already more intuitive than the old one. Explain in detail how you could measure whether this claim is justified.arrow_forward
- The first step in the usability process is to study the intended users and use of the product. At a minimum, developers should visit a customer site so that they have a feel for how the product will be used. Individual user characteristics and variability in tasks are the two factors with the largest impact on usability, so they need to be studied carefully. When considering users, one should keep in mind that they often include installers, maintainers, system administrators, and other support staff in addition to the people who sit at the keyboard. The concept of "user" should be defined to include everybody whose work is affected by the product in some way, including the users of the system's end product or output even if they never see a single screen. Explain four (4) benefits when know the user.arrow_forward1. Why can an acceptance test plan be made before the project starts!

Explain the three most appropriate reasons to keep using an application that has been used for more than 10 years! How to answer above questions based on Software Engineer/Development knowledge?arrow_forwardAn agile project has documentation in the form of user stories and tests. A user story describessome functionality required by a user, while a test is an executable form of a user story and therefore directly related to it. Testing early is at the heart of agile development, which promotes, for example, that acceptance tests should be written for each user story before any code is written. Assume the scenario of a university’s Student Information System: A university student canregister courses online and pay online using the system. Suggest at least FIVE user stories as part of acceptance test for the above scenario. You must justify your answer with a brief description.arrow_forward
