In software risk management, how is Risk Exposure (RE) or Risk Priority mathematically calculated?
Option A is correct. Risk Exposure is defined as $RE = P \times L$, where $P$ is the probability of risk occurrence and $L$ is the potential financial or technical loss/impact.
In Barry Boehm's COCOMO estimation model, which system category corresponds to small, simple software projects developed by experienced teams in familiar environments?
Option B is correct. Organic Mode projects in COCOMO are relatively small, straightforward software efforts developed by small experienced teams with flexible requirements.
In Basic COCOMO, which project mode corresponds to complex software systems with tight hardware, software, and operational constraints (e.g., flight control systems)?
Option C is correct. Embedded Mode projects operate under strict real-time hardware and software constraints, requiring high engineering overhead.
In Intermediate COCOMO, how is the total estimated effort adjusted from the baseline Basic COCOMO effort calculation?
Option A is correct. Intermediate COCOMO calculates Effort as $E = a_b \times (KLOC)^{b_b} \times EAF$, where EAF is the product of 15 cost driver attributes (product, hardware, personnel, project).
Allan Albrecht's Function Point Analysis (FPA) measures software size based on functional user requirements. Which of the following is NOT one of the 5 standard FPA function types?
Option C is correct. FPA is language-independent and counts External Inputs (EI), External Outputs (EO), External Inquiries (EQ), Internal Logical Files (ILF), and External Interface Files (EIF). SLOC is a LOC metric, not an FPA component.
