STUDENT SINGNATURE:

Ashish
Ans 1: Menu-Driven- A menu is an exhaustive list of available system functions that are displayed on the
terminal or workstation so user can choose them among. Dialogues that use this method of interaction are
said to be menu driven.

Keyword Dailogue- With keyword dialogues, users invoke processing activities by entering a command
the system understands. The three forms of keyword dialogue include the single command, the
mnemonic, and the natural language form.

Question/Answer Dailogue- As their name suggests,rely on the presentation of a question to the user.The
answers guides the resulting processing. The format may involve yes/no answers or narrative
responses.The question/answers strategy allows the presentation of more elaborate questions and
alterinatives than do other strategies. It requires the analyst to anticipate every possible answer a user
might provide, a potentially difficult task. It also the wordiest dialogue strategy.

Ans 2: Characterstics of interface in online system:

It includes the devices used to enter and receive data,the dialogue which prompts and guides users,and the
methods and patterns followed in display of information.Common interface devices in online system are
keyboard,mouse,light pen,scanner,touch screen or voice.

The dialogue guides the interaction between system and user. The daiogues determine the amount of
information that must pass between user and system. The particular design influences the detail one must
specify and the way in which it is articulated. Poor dialogue can undetermined yhe best interface devices,
but the right dialogue can make the boundary between user and system seem nonexistent.

User also react to the manner in which information is organized for display in an online system. Thw ay
the physical area of a display is structured,as well as the particular methods of highlighting and signaling
can enhance the redability of display information.

Ans 3: More documentation means easier usage. More documentation means better add-on modules.
More documentation means happier users. As soon as a user gets stuck trying to get a program feature to
work, he or she starts to read that program's documentation. Imagine, therefore, creating well-structured
and well-written documentation that will make it easy for the user to get that feature to work.

In general the following aspects of a program or project should be documented:

1. Basic usage is mostly covered in a man page.

2. More advanced usage can be achieved by listing ALL configuration options in the documentation
and giving examples on how to use them (take the very good Apache documentation for
example).
3. Source code, of course, because somebody may want to add features to the program.
4. Examples of usage to supply a working basic configuration file and document it heavily.
5. Installation of the program, because not all programs work with ./configure && make && make
install.
 6. User interface, especially if it is not a common point-and-click one.

Involvement of people in software life

Documentation is an important part of software engineering. Types of documentation include:

1. Requirements - Statements that identify attributes, capabilities, characteristics, or

qualities of a system. This is the foundation for what shall be or has been implemented.
2. Architecture/Design - Overview of softwares. Includes relations to an environment and
construction principles to be used in design of software components.
3. Technical - Documentation of code, algorithms, interfaces, and APIs.
4. End User - Manuals for the end-user, system administrators and support staff.
5. Marketing - How to market the product and analysis of the market demand.

Ans 4:Need of Auxiliary storage devices: When user enters the data/program using input device, those
are stored in RAM. RAM is a Volatile memory which means that all the contents of RAM are erased
when the power is switched-off. Therefore, in order to store the entered data permanently for future
reference, auxiliary memory is required. Auxiliary storage devices like Floppy disk, Magnetic disk and
Magnetic tape have auxiliarymemory.

The main memory is used ti store only the data and instruction which are to be used immediately.
However a computer has to storage in auxiliary memory.The bulk of information is stored in
auxiliary memory this is also called backing storage when the power is switched off the data can't
be removed. Auxiliary storage devices are used to provide additional, portable storage, as opposed
to hard drives which are fixed inside the computer and serve as primary storage devices.

Internal Hard Disk Drive

• Internal hard disk drive is the main auxiliary storage device that stores all of your data
magnetically, including operating system files and folders, documents, music and video. You can
think of the hard disc drive as a stack of disks mounted one on top of the other and placed in a
sturdy case. They spin at high speeds to provide easy and fast access to stored data anywhere on a
disk.
External Hard Disk Drive
• External hard disk drives are used when the internal drive does not have any free space and you
need to store more data. In addition, it is recommended that you always back up all of your data
and the external hard drives become very useful as they can safely store large amounts of
information. They can be connected by either USB or Firewire connection to a computer and can
even be connected with each other
in case you need several additional hard drives at the same time.

Use of auxiliary devices:

1.Magnateic Tape:- Data are srored along the length of the tape at a specified density, measured in bytes
per inch.One byte stored one character.Data are read from the tapes in blocks. To make better use of
storage space, systems analysts usually reduce the number of interblock gaps required through blocking.

2.Magnetic Disk:- Data are written to or read from magnetic disks only when they are being rotated by
disk derive.Disk rotation ranges from approximately 200 to several thousand revolutions per
minute,depending on the disk drive used.

3. Back up and Recovery of Flies: Information systems are not to immune to problems that can lead to
accidental loss of data,analysts are concerned with the preservation of both transaction and master file
data during the design phase and throughout the life of the system.

Ans 5: A Structure Chart (SC) in software engineering and organizational theory is a chart, which shows
the breakdown of the configuration system to the lowest manageable levels.

This chart is used in structured programming to arrange the program modules in a tree structure. Each
module is represented by a box, which contains the module's name. The tree structure visualizes the
relationships between the modules.
TableInsights
The TableInsights application displays a table of sales performance data for each month
over one-year period for various regions. It uses the UI control ScrollView at the bottom to
navigate left and right to view the data table. The regional data for each month is displayed
in rows and monthly data for each region is displayed in columns

FosiX
FosiX is a tool designed to the storage consumption of the folders including their subfolders
in a browsable chart or size tree view structure. You can simply navigate through those
visualized folders by clicking on the chart elements or by using keyboard shortcuts.

Speaker Workshop
Speaker Workshop 1.06 is a program to design loudspeakers in your PC. If your system has
a plain sound card, you will also be able to test the designed speaker. You will be able to
construct a loudspeaker circuit by including its different components (with values) into a
chart. The program will then calculate the output that this system will produce.
DiskPie
DiskPie has been developed to provide you with better understanding of the type and
structure of data that is stored on your hard drives. With the help of this application any of
your drives or directories can be represented as a pie chart. The application has a very
intuitive interface.

GanttProject
GanttProject is a project management planning tool to schedule and track projects. This
management tool is a Gantt chart that allows creating, editing and deleting tasks. Its GUI is
 easy and friendly to use. Its installation is easy to perform and some components must be
selected during the process. GanttProject is an open source program that runs in any
platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, etc).

EDraw Organizational Chart

Edraw Organizational Chart provides a graphical package that allows the user to easily
create different types of organizational charts. It is specifically designed to support the rapid
creation of staff organization diagrams, management structures or any hierarchical structure
charts. Support is also given to include photographic images within each node of the chart.
Scan Assistant
Scan Assistant is a visual basic application that helps automate the process of naming and
moving a scanned image to the server for linking to the patient chart. This lets you choose
where you store your images, which is ideal for clients who do not want to store them
within the default Practice Partner folder structure.

Ans 6: Quality assurance, or QA for short, is the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various
aspects of a project, service or facility to maximize the probability that minimum standards of quality are
being attained by the production process. QA cannot absolutely guarantee the production
of quality products.

Two principles included in QA are: "Fit for purpose" - the product should be suitable for the intended
purpose; and "Right first time" - mistakes should be eliminated. QA includes regulation of the qualityof
raw materials, assemblies, products and components, services related to production, and management,
production and inspection processes.

Quality is determined by the product users, clients or customers, not by society in general. It is not the
same as 'expensive' or 'high quality'. Low priced products can be considered as having high quality if the
product users determine them as such.
Steps for a typical quality assurance process

There are many forms of QA processes, of varying scope and depth. The application of a particular
process is often customized to the production process.

A typical process may include:

 test of previous articles

 plan to improve
 design to include improvements and requirements
 manufacture with improvements
 review new item and improvements
 test of the new item
