Explain FTR.

-

Solution:-

1.  FTR is useful to uncover error in logic, function and implementation for any representation of the software.

2.  The purpose of FTR is to ensure that software meets specified requirements.

3.  It is also ensure that software is represented according to predefined standards.

4.  It helps to review the uniformity in software development process.

5.  It makes the project more manageable.

6.  Besides the above mentioned objectives, the purpose of FTR is to enable junior engineer to observer the analysis, design, coding and testing approach more closely.

7.  Each FTR is conducted as meeting and is considered successfully only if it is properly planned, controlled and attended.

9.  The purpose of FTR is to verify that the software meets specified requirements.

The review meeting:

Each review meeting should be held considering the following constraints-

Involvement of people:

1.  Between 3, 4 and 5 people should be involve in the review.

2.  Advance preparation should occur but it should be very short that is at the most 2 hours of work for every person.

3.  The short duration of the review meeting should be less than two hour. Gives these constraints, it should be clear that an FTR focuses on specific (and small) part of the overall software.

At the end of the review, all attendees of FTR must decide what to do.

1.  Accept the product without any modification.

2.  Reject the project due to serious error (Once corrected, another app need to be reviewed), or

3.  Accept the product provisional (minor errors are encountered and are should be corrected, but no additional review will be required).

4.  The decision was made, with all FTR attendees completing a sign-of indicating their participation in the review and their agreement with the findings of the review team.

Review reporting and record keeping :-

1.  During the FTR, the reviewer actively records all issues that have been raised.

2.  At the end of the meeting all these issues raised are consolidated and a review list is prepared.

3.  Finally, a formal technical review summary report is prepared.

4.  It answers three questions :-

What was reviewed ?

Who reviewed it ?

What were the findings and conclusions ?

Review guidelines :-

1.  Guidelines for the conducting of formal technical reviews should be established in advance. These guidelines must be distributed to all reviewers, agreed upon, and then followed. A review that is unregistered can often be worse than a review that does not minimum set of guidelines for FTR.

2. Review the product, not the manufacture (producer).

3.  Take written notes (record purpose)

4.  Limit the number of participants and insists upon advance preparation.

5.  Develop a checklist for each product that is likely to be reviewed.

6.  Allocate resources and time schedule for FTRs in order to maintain time schedule.

7.  Conduct meaningful training for all reviewers in order to make reviews effective.

8.  Reviews earlier reviews which serve as the base for the current review being conducted.

9.  Set an agenda and maintain it.

10.  Separate the problem areas, but do not attempt to solve every problem notes.

11.  Limit debate and rebuttal.

State the functions of Hub, Repeater, Bridge and Router.

-
  1)Hub : Hub connects all nodes in star topology. Hub is broadcasting device. It sends packets to all nodes in the network. It works at Physical Layer of OSI model. 2) Repeater : Repeaters are used to take the distorted, weak and corrupt input signal and regenerate this signal at its output. It ensures that the signals are not distorted or weak before it reaches the destination. It increases the signal strength. 3)Bridge : A bridge device filters data traffic at a network boundary. Bridges reduces the amount of traffic on a LAN by dividing it into two segments. It inspects incoming traffic and decides whether to forward or discard it. It sends packets between two networks of same type. 4)Router : Router chooses the best path for packet forwarding. Router read complex network address in packet. It works at Network Layer of OSI model Efficiently direct packets from one network to another, reducing excessive traffic. Join neighbouring or distant network Connect dissimilar networks. P...

Describe the OSI model with neat diagram.

  Solution:- OSI model (open system interconnection) model was developed by ISO (international standard organization) Function of OSI model: i. It provides way to understand how internetwork operates.  ii. It gives guideline for creating network standard. OSI model has 7 layers as shown in the figure.  OSI model has following 7 layers as Physical layer, data link layer, Network layer, Transport layer, session layer, presentation layer, application layer.  1. Physical layer: 1. It co-ordinates the functions required to transmit bit stream over physical medium. 2. It deals with mechanical and electrical specifications of interface and transmission medium. Functions of physical layer are: Physical characteristics of interfaces and media.  Representation of bits: Data rate (transmission rate).  Synchronization of bits.  Line configuration: Point to point or multipoint configuration should be used.  2. Data link layer: 1. It is responsible for transmit...

Explain Database languages.

-
Data Definition Language The language is used to create database, tables, alter them, etc. With this, you can also rename the database, or drop them. It specifies the database schema. The DDL statements include − CREATE :  Create new database, table, etc. ALTER : Alter existing database, table, etc. DROP : Drop the database RENAME : Set a new name for the table. Data Manipulation Language The language used to manipulate the database like inserting data, updating table, retrieving record  from a table, etc. is known as Data Manipulation Language − SELECT : Retrieve data from the database INSERT : Insert data UPDATE :  Update data DELETE : Delete all records Data Control Language Grant privilege to a user using the GRANT statement. In the same way, revoke the privilege using the REVOKE statement. Both of these statements come under the Data Control Language (DCL). − GRANT : Give privilege to access the database. REVOKE:  Take back the privilege to access the database. ...
