Transformative Software develops apps that help disabled people to complete everyday tasks. Its software
projects are divided into phases in which progress takes place in one direction. The planning, delivery dates, and
implementation of the software under development are emphasized.
Which software development methodology is the company most likely using?
RAD
Cascading
Prototyping
Agile
RATIONALE
Cascading is the software development methodology that Transformative Software is most likely using. The
cascading model is a sequential (non-iterative) design process, used in software development, in which progress
flows downward (like a waterfall) through conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing,
production/implementation, and maintenance phases.

All of the following tasks are suitable for automated processes, EXCEPT:
Parveen has a large budget, and he has other things to accomplish while tests run.
Ranji’s tests must occur quickly, to enable scheduling in the future.
Linda must complete several tests and has ample time in which to do so.
Devin wants to ensure that her test results are accurate and reliable.
RATIONALE
Automation is an appropriate option for a process that is scheduled to start at a specific time, or at recurrent
times. Automation is also recommended to ensure accurate and reliable test results. It can collect, organize, and
manage data related to the test process. However, a manual approach should be considered when only a few tests
are necessary, and time is not a factor.

When Suzi clicks to save her work, this command is sent to the computer's central processing unit (CPU). The
CPU manages the operations or instructions it receives from software programs. Random-access memory
(RAM) and read-only memory (ROM) indicate the locations where the data is stored in the computer, but do not
manage instructions sent to them by software.
