What are metrics? Explain any one detail.

 Solution:-

Metrics:

Metrics are necessary to provide measurements of such qualities. Metrics can also be used to gauge the size and complexity of software and hence are employed in project management and cost estimation.

Types of Metrics:

  1.  Process quality
  2.  Product quality
  3.  Objective Metrics
  4.  Subjective Metrics
Process quality:

Activities related to the production of software, tasks or milestones.
1. Process metrics are collected across all projects        and over long periods of time.
2. They are used for making strategic decisions.
3. The intent is to provide a set of process indicators       that lead to long-term software process                         improvement 
4. The only way to know how/where to improve any         process is to:
  •  Measure specific attributes of the process.
  • Develop a set of meaningful metrics based on these attributes.
  • Use the metrics to provide indicators that will lead to a strategy for improvement.
Product quality:
Explicit result of the software development activity, deliverables,
products.
1. Product metrics help software engineers to better       understand the  attributes of models and assess         the quality of the software.
2. They help software engineers to gain insight into         the design and construction of the software.
3. Focus on specific attributes of software                         engineering work products resulting from                     analysis, design, coding, and testing.
4. Provide a systematic way to assess quality based      on a set of
    clearly defined rules.
5. Provide an “on-the-spot” rather than “after-the-             fact”  insight into the software development.

Objective Metrics:
1. They are non-negotiable – that is the way they are      defined doesn’t change with respect to the niche        or the type of endeavor they are being applied to.
2. Actual cost or AC is always the total cost actually       incurred in accomplishing a certain activity or a           sequence of activities.

Subjective Metrics:
These metrics are a relatively new precept and are more flexible than the rigid framework of the objective metrics. Subjective metrics do
deal with performance but the approach is more tailored. For some enterprises the niche in which they function forces project management to change in order to adapt to the demands of the workplace.

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.

Image
  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. ...
