Suppose that your company has decided to change the architecture of the software your team works on. The goal is to try to support more concurrent users.

What are two risks you might worry about? (This should be about the project itself -- assume there is still a market for your software and so on.)
Give one suggestion for addressing each risk.

Expert Solution

The possible risks and the its solution are:

1. Data Integrity: When two users try to modify a data in the database at the same time or when one user is editing information whilst others read the original data can affect the integrity of system's data. Data integerity can be ensured by introducing concurrency control system. A concurrency control system provides safe access to shared information, removing the risk of collisions that cause data integrity problems or data loss. This is achieved by either preventative locking, where access to data being edited by another user is limited or removed, or by the detection of collisions, where problematic changes are disallowed.

2. Impact in system performance due to increased traffic on the application: When a number of users tries to concurrently access the application, there can be issues in in terms of responsiveness and stability of the software under a particular workload resulting the system to crash or work at slow pace. This can be resolved by doing performance testing on the system before deploying to validate the resposiveness of the system during high traffic. It is done to identify bottlenecks in the system. Load testing is the simplest performance testing.

Suppose that your company has a software system, which was developed based on SOA (Service-Oriented Architectures) Web Services. Later, the system was transformed to REST (Resource-Oriented Architecture) Web-Services based architecture. Assuming no other major architectural element has changed, explain how the following software quality attributes would be affected in details. Discuss whether these quality attributes are positively, neutral or negatively impacted and why Note: State your assumptions and describe your reasoning in 50-100 words for each answer.

Suppose that we've decided to test Clara, who works at the Psychic Center, to see if she really has psychic abilities. While talking to her on the phone, we'll thoroughly shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards (which is made up of 13 hearts, 13 spades, 13 diamonds, and 13 clubs) and draw one card at random. We'll ask Clara to name the suit (heart, spade, diamond, or club) of the card we drew. After getting her guess, we'll return...

A patient on your team is experiencing difficulty breathing. There is no change in the patient's status after you elevate the head of bed, apply oxygen, have the patient use pursed lip breathing, and obtain a breathing treatment for the patient. Auscultation of the lungs demonstrates crackles bilaterally halfway up the lungs. The respiratory rate is 40 breaths/min, with an oxygen saturation level of 90% on 4 liters oxygen per nasal cannula. The patient is restless and having difficulty speaking...
