Question

1. what is a benefit of using a software development design process? *

a. by following the process, the code will work the first time.
b. using the process, the code will be efficient regardless of a programme experience.
c. the code will be developed in 50% less time using a development/design proce
d. the process is iterative, resulting in a better program.

1. which of the following is not a common step in many software development processes? * 1 p

a. designing
b. investigating
c. identifying patterns
d. testing

1. what do using surveys, interviews, and observations identify? * 1 po

a. device specifications
b. program errors
c. user requirements

Explanation:

• Question 2:
• Option A: Software development processes don't guarantee code works first - time. There are always debugging and refinement steps.
• Option B: Code efficiency also depends on a programmer's skills and experience, not just the process.
• Option C: There's no fixed 50% time - reduction claim for all software development processes.
• Option D: Many software development processes (like Agile) are iterative. Iteration helps in improving the program through continuous feedback and refinement.
• Question 3:
• Designing, investigating (requirements gathering), and testing are common steps in software development. Identifying patterns is more of a data - analysis or algorithm - design concept in a broader sense and not a typical common step in the general software development process steps (like in the waterfall model's main steps: requirements, design, implementation, testing, maintenance).
• Question 4:
• Surveys, interviews, and observations are used to interact with users. Device specifications are usually technical details (not identified by these user - interaction methods). Program errors are found through testing. These methods are used to understand what users need (user requirements).

Answer:

1. D. The process is iterative, resulting in a better program.
2. C. Identifying patterns
3. C. User requirements
