1 pts

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

It mixes two programming languages within a single project

It combines agile and formal mathematical methods

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

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

Three Perspectives of the RUP

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 and workflows are the same thing described with different terminology

Phases define the technical activities; workflows define the business objectives

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

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

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

To complete all system design and produce UML architectural models

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 carry out all programming and testing of system components

To deploy the working software to users in their operational environment

Construction Phase — Activities and Output

1 pts

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 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

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

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

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