1013Software EngineeringMedium

For you to create a swap partition by using fdisk, what must the partition’s system ID type be?

A83

B82

Correct answer

B. 82

The correct answer is 82.

1014Software EngineeringMedium

An example of a system that may use a process pipeline is a ________?

ABoth High-speed data acquisition system AND Failure of a power supply in an embedded system

BNone of the mentioned

CFailure of a power supply in an embedded system

DHigh-speed data acquisition system

Correct answer

D. High-speed data acquisition system

Explanation

Explanation: Data acquisition systems collect data from sensors for subsequent processing and analysis. These systems are used in situations where the sensors are collecting a lot of data from the system’s environment and it isn’t possible or necessary to process that data in real time.

1015Software EngineeringMedium

Which of the following functions is/ are performed by the loader?

AAdjust all address dependent locations, such as address constants, to correspond to the allocated space

BPhysically place the machine instructions and data into memory

CAll of the above

DAllocate space in memory for the programs and resolve symbolic references between object decks

Correct answer

C. All of the above

Explanation

The correct answer is All of the above.

1016Software EngineeringMedium

The enables the software engineer to develop models of the information domain and functional domain at the same time?

Aactivity diagram

Bdata flow diagram

Ccontrol specification

Dstate transition diagram

Correct answer

B. data flow diagram

Explanation

Explanation: As the DFD is refined into greater levels of detail, the analyst performs an implicit functional decomposition of the system, thereby accomplishing the fourth operational analysis principle for function.
