Which of the following is the most appropriate activity of improving the internal structure of an existing program without changing the external behavior of the software?

a)Test driven developmentb)Pair programmingc)Reverse engineeringd)Refactoring

Apr 2025 · Question 50

Which of the following is the most appropriate case example of DevOps in software development?

a)The developer prepares a prototype of important functions, and evaluates its adequacy by measuring the performance together with the customer.b)The developer moves on to the next development phase only after it is judged that the current phase is complete, and handovers the system to the operation side only after the system test where users participating in a system test confirm the operability.c)The developer and the operator work in close cooperation and quickly proceed with the implementation and update of functions, etc., by using automation tools and other such tools.d)The programs are added one by one while fixed short-period cycles are repeated in order to expand the functions in the development of a system.

Oct 2025 · Question 50

Which of the following is the most appropriate description concerning DevOps in software development?

a)In order to get a clear image of the layout of the screens that will be used on the operation side, the development side creates a prototype at the requirements definition phase.b)The development side carries out the design, development, and testing processes in order, and hands the system over to the operations side after the required functions are ready with required quality.c)The development side and the operation side work together closely, and deal with requests for specification change and other such things swiftly and flexibly by incorporating automation tools, etc.d)Productivity and reliability are increased by two (2) developers jointly developing one (1) program.

Apr 2024 · Question 50

Which of the following is the most appropriate term expressing initiatives to improve the services where the development side and the operations side of the system cooperate to proactively automate operations of the system and transition to the new production system, and release new functions?

a)DevOpsb)RADc)Object-oriented developmentd)Test-driven development

Apr 2024 · Question 52

Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning the water fall model known as one of software development models?

a)It is a technique in object-oriented development for making improvements through trial and error by repeatedly going back and forth between design and programming.b)It is a technique for making improvements by repeating the development process for each subsystem while responding to requests from users.c)It is a technique that divides the processes of system development into stages, and based upon the output of previous processes, performs later processes in order.d)It is a technique that creates a prototype at an early stage of system development, and defines requirements and specifications with input from user comments.

Oct 2024 · Question 50

Which of the following is the appropriate explanation of refactoring?

a)Improving internal architecture without changing the functions that software providesb)Discovering the specifications of software by analysis of its operations, etc.c)Correcting a defect in software so that it performs according to the specificationsd)Modifying software to add a new function on the basis of user requests, etc.

Apr 2023 · Question 50

Software development models include the waterfall model, spiral model, prototyping model, and RAD, etc. Which of the following is the most appropriate explanation of the waterfall model?

a)After all activities in each phase in the development are complete, the project proceeds to the next phase.b)The functions to be developed are divided, and each function is efficiently and swiftly developed with the use of development tools and parts.c)At an early phase in software development, working sample software is created that enables users to visually confirm requirements.d)The functions of software are divided, and the software is gradually completed through repeated design and development for each function so that feedback from users can be incorporated.

Oct 2023 · Question 50

Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning the characteristics of the prototyping model?

a)Through a trial model in the initial stage of the development process, the user interface is determined and the system performance is verified, in order to reduce the risk of rework in subsequent phases.b)It is a type of growth model where the system is refined by repeating development processes. In each iteration process, risk is assessed based on development cost and quality, and the process with the lowest risk is adopted.c)Through a series of system development processes, some functions are completed. The entire system is developed in incremental steps by repeating such a cycle.d)It is performed in order of requirements analysis, system design, production, and test. It is suitable for large-scale system development.

Apr 2022 · Question 50

Which of the following is an appropriate characteristic of agile development?

a)Suitable for development with a large project teamb)Preparing detailed documents with focus on the design documentc)Focusing on contract negotiation rather than cooperation in terms of relationship with customersd)Flexibly responding to changes in requests as compared with waterfall development

Oct 2022 · Question 62

Which of the following is the most appropriate example of implementation of agile development?

a)Conducting a trial before undertaking development in order to verify the prediction accuracy of an AI system, and selecting an effective algorithmb)Outsourcing development to vendors who have the technology in order to widely adopt various technologies of IoTc)Proceeding with the development of a large-scale IoT system in a sequential manner while approving the completion in each process from the upstream processes up to the downstream processesd)Adding the functions of an analysis program while repeating fixed short-period cycles in order to improve the accuracy of analysis in the development of an analysis system

Apr 2021 · Question 50

When system development is conducted sequentially from upstream to downstream processes, a significant amount of rework might arise in the test phase that is performed by the system user. For the purpose of preventing such rework, which of the following is the method that is used to create trial models in an early stage and clarify user requirements?

a)Object-oriented approachb)Spiral modelc)Data oriented approachd)Prototyping

Apr 2021 · Question 100

Oct 2020 · Question 60

Which of the following is the appropriate characteristic of agile development?

a)Information is passed between processes through documents, making it easy to understand the progress of overall development.b)Prototyping is implemented in each process, making it possible to locate potential problems and requests.c)Development is taken forward in a stepwise manner, resulting in retrospective corrections when a problem occurs in the last process, thus increasing rework.d)Priority is given to preparation of software over preparation of documents, making it possible to quickly incorporate the changing demands of customers.
