SECTION B : STRUCTURED AND PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS /30marks
1. Programming /18marks
1.1. Define the following concepts : Data stucture, constructor, encapsulation
Data Structure : It is a way of organizing and storing data in memory so that it can be used
efficiently (2marks)
Constructor : It is a special method used in object oriented programs to create instances of
object from classes. (2marks)
Encapsulation : It is a mechanismof hiding of data implementation by restricting access to
public to public methods. (2marks)
1.2. List two(2) rules to follow when writing the algorithm name
2marks
- Avoid spaces
- Do not use ponctuation signs and special caracters
- Do not use hyphen but underscore
1.3. What does local variable mean ?
2marks
A local variable is a variable that can be accessed only within the function or block in which
they are defined.
1.4. Define a record of type book with the following attributes: isbn, author,
nbpages, title using algorithmic syntax.
3marks
1.5. What does UML mean ?
1mark
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language
1.6. What is a difference between class diagram and object diagram
2marks
Page 2 sur 4
A class diagram gives the general structure of database, whereas Object diagram shows the
state of the database or the system at a particular moment.
1.7. List tow(2) UML static diagrams
2marks
- Class diagram
- Object diagram
- Component diagram
- Package diagram
- deployment diagram
2. Software engineering /12marks
2.1. Define : software engineer, software component
2marks
software engineer : Is a person who applies the principles of software engineering to
design, develop, maitain, test, and evaluate computer software.
software component : It is a modular, portable, replaceable, and reusable set of well-defined
functionality that encapsulates its implementation and exporting it as a higher-level interface.
2.2. List the different steps involved in waterfall model explain any three(3) of your
choice 6 marks
- Requirement Gathering and analysis : In this phase all possible requirements of the
system to be developed are captured, and the feasibility study of system is done.
- System design : In this phase the system design is prepared. Here overall of system
architecture, hardware specifications and system requirements are done.
- Implementation : base on the inputs coming from design phase, the system is first
developed in small programs called units, which are integrated in the next phase.
- Integration and Testing : In this phase All the units developed in the implementation
phase are integrated into a system after testing of each unit.
- Deployment of system : Once the functional and non-functional testing are done; the
product is deployed in the customer environment or released into the market.
- Maintenance : when using a product, there are some issues which come up in the client
environment. To fix those issues, patches are released during the maintenance phase.
2.3. List two(2) caracteristics of software components
2marks
- Replacable
- Extensible
- Independent
Page 3 sur 4
- Encapsulated
- Not context specific
2.4. Briefly describe software quality
2marks
Software quality can be defined as the ability of the software to function as per user requirement. It
is a field of study that describes the desired attributes of software products. Among the qualities of
software we have : maintenability, reliability, durability, good design.
