In Basic COCOMO, what is the formula for Effort (E) in Person-Months for an Organic Mode project with KLOC size?
Option E is correct. Basic COCOMO effort equations: Organic Mode E = 2.4 * $(KLOC)^1$.05; Semi-detached E = 3.0 * $(KLOC)^1$.12; Embedded E = 3.6 * $(KLOC)^1$.20.
In Function Point Analysis (FPA) developed by Allan Albrecht, which of the following is NOT one of the 5 primary function types?
Option B is correct. The 5 Function Types in FPA are: Internal Logical Files (ILF), External Interface Files (EIF), External Inputs (EI), External Outputs (EO), and External Inquiries (EQ).
In PERT/CPM project scheduling, what defines the Critical Path?
Option A is correct. The Critical Path is the longest sequence of dependent activities in a project network, determining the minimum total project duration. Any delay on this path delays the project.
What is the formula for calculating Expected Activity Duration (Te) in PERT using Optimistic (To), Most Likely (Tm), and Pessimistic (Tp) time estimates?
Option A is correct. PERT weighted average formula: Te = (To + 4Tm + Tp) / 6, placing four times more weight on the Most Likely time estimate.
What is the formula for Risk Exposure (RE) or Risk Impact in software risk management?
Option B is correct. Risk Exposure (RE) = Risk Probability x Risk Impact (Loss). It quantifies the expected monetary or schedule risk burden.
