Which of the following debugging strategies involves changing inputs and observing differences in output to identify issues in the code?

Which of the following hosting options has no requirement to purchase the entire server hardware and therefore involves no maintenance overhead; however, it does not provide the software layer for hosting the web app?

Which type of software testing is carried out before the initial system testing to check whether the basic functionalities are working with a few basic test cases?

What is the main advantage of using paper prototyping?

What kind of debugging technique involves different tools to compare the logging data between different executions of the program under test?

In a software project, the project management team has identified a potential risk of personnel shortfall with a probability (P) of 0.7 and an impact (I) of 2. Assess the risk associated with the project due to personnel shortfall. Choose the correct option.

An software organization wants to reuse the knowledge of one project, in another project, and it is possible if the knowledge is documented and archive properly. Which kind of tools can be used by the organization?

Consider a messaging platform where users can directly exchange messages with each other without relying on a central server. Each user's device acts as both a sender and a receiver of messages, and the communication is decentralized. Determine the type of software architecture this messaging platform uses.

An organization came up with a mobile app for employees to report their day-to-day tasks to the corresponding managers. However, the employees find the mobile app very difficult to use. They have to go thought the manual page first in order to properly utilize the app. What kind of usability goal is missing from the mobile app?

Suppose a mobile app has a feature using which a customer can pay any credit card bill. The customer has to provide only the credit card number as input. However, the mobile app prompt its customer to enter the credit card number twice to confirm that customer does not make a mistake while typing the number. Which of the following heuristics of UI evaluation is fulfilled in this case?

Identify the type of requirement gathering technique that is most suitable when it's necessary to reach some consensus about the requirements and also to point out any areas of disagreement.

An e-commerce company is preparing to launch a major update to its mobile app. To ensure a smooth transition, they have set up a separate environment with the new version of the app. This environment will undergo thorough testing and validation before directing a portion of the user traffic to the new version. Once the testing is successful, slowly roll out the change to a small subset of users. Which software deployment strategy is being implemented in this scenario?

Consider the following code base in Python.

Identify the set of valid test cases for black box testing using the equivalence class technique.

Suppose an online bookshop application has two modules: Customer and Product. Customer module has functions focusing only on all customer-related tasks, like customer registration, customer profile update, etc., while the Product module has functions focusing only on the tasks related to the products, like adding a new product, updating product information, removing a product, etc. Furthermore, the two classes Customer and Product need minimum interaction since they share very small amounts of data. Identify the type of coupling and cohesion for modules Customer and Product.

An organization has planned to develop a web application in which a user can upload any English text. The web application applies paraphrasing and some other techniques to convert it into a kind of English text that can be understood by anyone with knowledge of elementary English. The entire task of the web application is divided into different modules, and interactions between different modules are outlined. In which phase of the SDLC process is the web application currently in?
