RUP — What Kind of Process Model?

1 pts

volume_mute

The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is described as a hybrid process model. What does this mean?

It combines elements from the waterfall, incremental development, and reuse-oriented process models

It is a model used only for hybrid (mixed hardware-software) systems

It combines agile and formal mathematical methods

It mixes two programming languages within a single project

Shows

The phases of the model over time

The process activities (workflows) that are enacted

Good practices recommended for use during the process

Unlike conventional process models that present a single view, the RUP is described from three perspectives.

Match each perspective to what it shows.

RUP Phases vs Process Activities

1 pts

volume_mute

Unlike the waterfall model, the RUP does not equate phases directly with process activities. How are phases and activities related in the RUP?

Phases in the RUP are more closely related to business concerns rather than technical activities — all workflows may be active across all phases

Each phase maps to exactly one process activity, just like waterfall

Phases and workflows are the same thing described with different terminology

Phases define the technical activities; workflows define the business objectives

Inception Phase — Goal

1 pts

volume_mute

What is the primary goal of the Inception phase in the RUP?

To establish a business case for the system by identifying all external entities that will interact with it and assessing its contribution to the business

To deploy the working software to users in their operational environment

To carry out all programming and testing of system components

To complete all system design and produce UML architectural models

Inception Phase — Cancellation Decision

1 pts

volume_mute

True or False: In the RUP, the project can be legitimately cancelled at the end of the Inception phase if the system's contribution to the business is found to be minor.

Elaboration Phase — Goals and Outputs

1 pts

volume_mute

What are the goals of the Elaboration phase, and what should you have on completion? Select all correct outputs.

A working software system ready for delivery to users

A development plan for the software

A requirements model for the system, which may be a set of UML use cases

An architectural description of the system

A documented system working correctly in its operational environment

Construction Phase — Activities and Output

1 pts

volume_mute

Complete the sentence about the Construction phase.

The Construction phase involves system design, (1), and testing. Parts of the system are developed in parallel and integrated during this phase. On completion you should have a working software system and associated documentation that is ready for (2) to users.

Transition Phase — Purpose and Challenge

1 pts

volume_mute

The Transition phase is described as something often ignored in most software process models, yet expensive and sometimes problematic. What is its purpose, and what should you have on completion?

To establish the business case for the system; on completion you have a go/no-go decision

To carry out all programming and testing; on completion you have source code ready for compilation

To complete requirements analysis and produce the architectural framework; on completion you have a set of UML use cases

To move the system from the development community to the user community and make it work in a real environment; on completion you have a documented software system working correctly in its operational environment

RUP Iteration — Two Ways

1 pts

volume_mute

Statements

×Each individual phase may be enacted in an iterative way, with the results developed incrementally within that phase

×The whole set of phases may be enacted incrementally, with the process repeating from Transition back to Inception

Iteration within a phase

Iteration across all phases

The RUP supports iteration in two ways. Classify each statement under the correct type of iteration.
