Part C
1. For the scenario describe below, which life cycle model would choose? Give the reason why you
choose this model. You are interacting with the MIS department of a very large oil company with
multiple departments. They have a complex legacy system. Migrating the data from this legacy
system is not easy task and would take a considerable time. The oil company is very particular about
processes, acceptance criteria and legal contracts.
2. Describe at least one scenario where.
1. RAD model would be applicable and not the waterfall model.
2. Waterfall model is preferable to all other models
3. Assume that you are the technical manager of a software development organization. A client
approached you for a software solution. The problems stated by the client have uncertainties which
lead to loss if it not planned and solved. Which software development model you will suggest for
this project – justify. Explain that model with its pros and cons with neat sketch.
4. Explain how waterfall model is applicable for the development of the following systems:
a) University accounting system
b) Interactive system that allows railway passengers to find time and other information for the
terminals installed in the station.
5. Provide three examples of software projects that would be amenable to incremental model. Be
specific.

up the phone to the point where you start eating the pizza. Include activities that others need
to perform. Add exception handling to the activity diagram you developed. Consider at least

pizza).
