Heath,

I saw your comment and realised I must not have replied to the list yesterday?

I was  nitpicking about A-18

"re: Q 18, D is clearly the best answer.

But I would have thought that the 'pop' removes reference to that location, while leaving '10' in memory, but not in the stack as such. 10 is no longer 'there' in stack. Maybe just nitpicking on my part Damien!
At least there were 3 clearly incorrect answers.

Pretty good exam for Part A and B.

I still haven't read the case study through, but C-3 is a little awkward. I wouldn't link functional reqs. with a context diagram that only shows data flows - perhaps a DFD was intended here?"

cheers

Hi guys,

I agree with Juliana’s solutions, except I think in your description of Q12 that B and D are non-functional requirements since they don’t affect the data inputs and outputs of the program. I don’t think we’re told any of the functional requirements for this scenario.  I think Michelle needs to interview the bank manager for them.

For question 13, I’m 90% confident you always complete internal documentation while you are coding and this would be before testing which only leaves option B. A is incorrect as the only time you interview is in the analysis and evaluation phases and the question states analysis is complete.

I had to think about Question 20. I think is a bit of a  “horses for courses” question between A and B. Some people like scrolling while some people are really good at zooming in on images with index finger and thumb and could click a map. This would be particularly useful if you were looking different countries in a region, but a problem if you don’t know where the country is located. So I think the scrollable list, still works well on the iPod. Matching characters would be difficult if there was a spelling error or you enter a city instead of a country (Someone asked me today if Dubai was a county).

I’m interested to see what error Gordon has spotted.

This is just my opinion for question 12.

A.      The bank does not want her to add extra functions (so this defines the boundary of the solution)

B.      The program will be made available via the bank’s website (functional requirement)

C.      The bank is only small and does not require a complex program (silly response)

D.      The program must cater for visually impaired people and people with normal vision (functional requirement)

So I think A.

For Q12, the manager specified that the program must cater for visually impaired people as well as people with normal vision. What do you think?
