Sona College of Technology: U10It505 - Software Engineering

This document appears to be an exam for a Software Engineering course, consisting of multiple choice and short answer questions. It covers topics like software development lifecycles (e.g. waterfall, spiral), requirements analysis, software design, testing approaches (e.g. unit testing, regression testing), and software configuration management. The exam is divided into three parts - Part A contains 10 multiple choice questions, Part B contains 10 short answer questions, and Part C contains 5 long answer questions from which students must answer 5.
