MINATION AIDS:  This is an Open Book exam conducted at a place of convenience for the student. PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY:  The Examination paper will be visible for download through the LMS at the notified examination start time. Additionally, a copy of the examination paper will also be forwarded to each student by email around, the start time of the examination. This emailed version will provide a backup if students are not able to download the paper. PROVIDED BY THE CANDIDATE:  A reliable computer with a contemporary working copy of Microsoft Word installed (this will be essential to complete the exam).  A reliable internet connection, to download and receive by email, the examination paper, and to upload and/or submit by email, the completed examination paper, which must be submitted before the deadline.  A reliable calculator to conduct the required calculations.  Appropriate notes, as required to complete the test questions effectively. EXAMINATION INSTRUCTIONS:  Type your name and student number in the appropriate table cells at the top of this page.  This exam contains five (5) questions, which add up to a total of 100%. The final mark will be scaled to equate to a maximum of 40% of the total marks for the ICT508 unit.  Candidates should attempt ALL questions.  Type your answers into the table cells provided for each question.  If you have the time, spell and grammar check as well as proofread your content. The understandability and quality of spelling and grammar will influence your results.  Complete the examination and upload the completed document before the defined deadline. You will be penalised 5% for every 10 minutes (or part thereof) that the completed exam is submitted after the deadline. If you do not think you can upload your completed exam before the deadline, email the document as an attachment to [email protected] before the submission deadline. Then upload your completed exam into the LMS as soon as possible after that. In this case, the version that will be marked is the one that is emailed. Page 1ICT508: IT Project Management Final Examination Semester 2 2020 SCENARIO (This page contains the same material provided on the last page in the Exam Preparation & Pre-Reading document, which is available under Topic 12 in the LMS.) EdMedia International Pty Ltd (EdMI) is proceeding with the EduStream project. You are the Project Manager. The other elements of this scenario comply with the information provided in the Assignment 1 and Assignment 2 materials, as well as other Topic-related content. Because of your good management, the project timeline is progressing, as illustrated in Figure 1. The events covered in these exam questions are taking place during the period in the middle of March 2021 (which is highlighted by the red hatched area shown in the timeline). Figure 1: EduStream Project Timeline - Overview All of the questions in this exam paper refer to this scenario. Where specifically requested, refer to the scenario. This includes any question that requires you to include ‘Apply’ within the Define, Explain, Apply framework or when required to help you assess a situation. This includes Questions 1.ii), 3.ii), 4.ii).b. and 5.ii). Where any information appears to be missing or incomplete, state your assumptions in your answers. The exam questions begin on the following page Page 1ICT508: IT Project Management Final Examination Semester 2 2020 Question 1 Total Marks: 15 Marks It is early afternoon, and you are answering emails in your office. You have received an email from a member of the Board. This email states: ‘During our last meeting you talked about Functional and Non-Functional testing. Please explain the difference between functional and non-functional tests and give some examples to explain how they will be used in the EduStream project. I understand that you are very busy so please just provide clear dot points to explain this to me and spend no more than about 20 minutes on the response’ for both of the parts listed below. Utilise the Define, Explain and Apply approach to provide the required information in the following two parts: i) Define and Explain the difference between functional and non-functional tests. Type your response into the following cell.  Fuctional testing is a testing which checks that each function of our software operates with the requirement that is specified. This involves black box testing and donot depend upon the source of code. Functions are tested by giving input to system and getting a output and than comparing the actual results with the expected results. This mainly includes User Interface, APIs, Database, security, client/ server applications. It is based on customer's requirements.  Non functional testing basically deals with the performance, usibility and reliability of the system. It checks the readiness of the system whether system is available for use. For example it checks how many people can login into the system. It is based on customers expectation. Maximum marks allocated for Question 1 i). [5 Marks] ii) List four functional tests and four non-functional tests. For each type of test provide concise dot-point information to Define, Explain and Apply that test. In particular, for the Apply component, give one example of when you would use that type of test for the EduStream project. Type your response into the following cell. Non-functional testing :  Security: this checks how our system can be saved from attacks which can be from internal and external sources. This is tested by security tests.  Reliability : this checks that system can perform functions without being failure. This is checked by reliability testing.  Survivability: this check that system can recovers itself after any software failure. This is checked by recovery testing.  Availability: this checks that to which degree user can depend upon system for operations. This is checked by stability testing. Our application load time should be upto 5 second for 2000 users when they are using it simultaneously. Functional testing: Page 2ICT508: IT Project Management Final Examination Semester 2 2020  Unit Testing: We check that we had meet our design and behave as intended.  User acceptance testing: We check that our requirement are met or not.We verify that solution works for system.  Smoke testing: We check that most important functions of our system works.This decide that build is enough for proceeding for further testing.  Sanity testing: In sanity testing we see that our bugs are fixed and no further issues occurs due to the changes. It basically checks that our results are rationals. We see that for edustream our interface is user friendly and system should no error while displaying the data when a particular user login into the system. Maximum marks allocated for Question 1 ii). [10 Marks] Question 2 Total Marks: 20 Mark [Show More]
