SDLC kya hai?

 SDLC ka matlab hai Software Development Life Cycle — yaani ek aisa process ya cycle jo
software banane se le kar usko test, deploy (release) aur maintain karne tak har stage ko
cover karta hai.

 Iska maksad ye hai ke software achha ho, bug kam ho, cost sahi ho, aur user ki
requirements puri hoon.
SDLC ke Stages / Phases

GeeksforGeeks wali article me 6 phases discuss kiye gaye hain. (GeeksforGeeks)

Main unhe Roman Urdu me, simple alfaaz mein, aur example ke saath samjhaungi:

Roman Urdu /
Phase Kaam kya hota hai Example / tasawwur
Simple

Yahaan pe hum decide Misaal ke taur pe: Agar tum ek

karte hain project ka scope “library management system”
Planning &
1. Planning & (kya banana hai), resources banana chahte ho, toh pehle

hain.

Diagrams ka matlab

 Jo diagrams maine upar dikhaya hai, wo SDLC ka cycle dikhate hain — matlab ye stage ek
dafa nahi, balki ek cycle hai jo repeat ho sakta hai, jab updates hon ya changes chahiyen
hoon.

 Har stage se next stage jata hai, aur kabhi kabhi peeche wapas bhi jana pad sakta hai
(agar requirement change ho jaye).
  Diagram me aksar arrows aur circles hote hain jo batate hain ke process continuous hai.

 Kuch diagrams linear flow (straight line), kuch “spiral” ya “iterative” dikhatay hain jahan
har phase dohra sakti hai.

Kuch Models (Methodologies) bhi hain

Link me kuch SDLC models bhi mention hain: Waterfall, Agile, V-Model, Spiral, Incremental,
RAD etc. (GeeksforGeeks)
Ye models batate hain ke phases kaise arrange honge — kuch linear (Waterfall), kuch cyclic
(Agile, Spiral), etc.

 Waterfall Model — ek phase complete hogi, phir agli; peeche wapas mushkil.

 Agile Model — choti iterations me development, feedback ke saath changes allowed.

 V-Model — design aur testing phases ko mirror karke dikhata hai.

 Spiral Model — riski aur repeated cycles ke saath.

🌟 BASIC → TWISTED QUESTIONS (Detailed Roman Urdu Answers)

Q1: What is SDLC?

Answer:
SDLC ka matlab hai Software Development Life Cycle.
Ye ek process hai jo software banane ke har stage ko systematically cover karta hai — jese
planning, analysis, design, development, testing, deployment aur maintenance.

Simple words mein:

Ye ek step-by-step framework hai jisme software idea se lekar final working product tak develop
hota hai.

Example:
Socho tum ek “school management app” banana chahti ho — to pehle tum plan karogi, phir
requirement samjhogi, phir design banao gi, phir coding karogi, test karogi aur last mein use
launch karogi — yehi pura SDLC process hai.

Q2: Explain the importance of having a structured life cycle in software development.
Answer:
Structured life cycle ka matlab hai ke har kaam ek order mein aur ek proper sequence mein ho.
Isse kya hota hai:

 Software quality maintain rehti hai.

 Bugs aur problems kam hoti hain.

 Time aur cost dono control mein rehte hain.

 Har phase ka clear goal hota hai, koi confusion nahi hota.

Roman Urdu mein:

Agar hum bina plan ke software banayein to errors, confusion aur client dissatisfaction hoti hai.
Lekin jab ek structured cycle (SDLC) follow karte hain to har kaam organized hota hai aur
product professional banta hai.

Q3: Why can’t we skip any phase in software development?

Answer:
SDLC ke har phase ka apna ek important role hota hai.
Agar hum koi phase skip kar dein, to system incomplete ya defective banega.

Example:
Agar tum requirement analysis skip kar do, to tumhe pata hi nahi hoga client kya chahta hai.
Agar testing skip kar do, to bugs reh jaayenge.
Agar maintenance skip kar do, to software outdated ho jaayega.

Conclusion:
Har phase ek chain ki link jaisa hai — agar ek link tut gaya to poori chain weak ho jaati hai.

Q4: What could happen if requirement analysis is ignored in SDLC?

Answer:
Requirement analysis ignore karna matlab bina direction ke kaam karna.
Agar tumhe client ki exact zarurat nahi pata, to:

 Tum galat features develop karogi.

 Time aur paisa dono waste honge.

 Client unsatisfied rahega.

Example:
Agar client chahta tha online payment system, aur tumne sirf cash record system banaya, to
pura project fail ho gaya.

So:
Requirement analysis is the foundation of SDLC — bina foundation ke building kabhi strong nahi
hoti.

Q5: How does SDLC ensure quality and cost-effective software?

Answer:
SDLC software ko systematically banata hai:

 Har phase properly planned hota hai.

 Errors jaldi detect ho jaate hain (especially testing phase mein).

 Rework aur waste kam hota hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Jab har kaam ek order mein aur testing ke sath hota hai to quality automatic improve hoti hai.
Kyuki early stage par problem mil jaaye to fix karna cheap hota hai — isi liye SDLC cost-effective
bhi hai.

Q6: Which phase of SDLC converts SRS (Software Requirement Specification) into code?

Answer:
Ye kaam Implementation / Development Phase mein hota hai.
SRS document ek blueprint hota hai jisme bataya jata hai ke software kya karega.
Phir programmers us document ko use karke actual code likhte hain.

Roman Urdu mein:

Yani “paper par likhi planning” ko “computer par running code” mein badalne wala phase hai —
development phase.

Q7: At what stage are system testing and bug fixing performed in SDLC?

Answer:
Ye sab Testing Phase mein hota hai.
Yahan developers aur testers milkar software ko check karte hain:
  Kya har feature sahi kaam kar raha hai?

 Kya koi bug ya error hai?

 Kya software client ki requirement ke mutabiq hai?

Example:
Agar ek button click par result nahi dikhata, to ye bug fix karna testing phase mein hota hai.

Purpose:
Ensure karna ke final version bilkul smooth aur error-free ho.

Q8: What are the consequences of skipping the maintenance phase in SDLC?

Answer:
Maintenance phase ke bina software jaldi outdated aur inefficient ho jaata hai.

Consequences:

 Bugs fix nahi hote.

 Naye user needs fulfill nahi hoti.

 Security weak ho jaati hai.

 System crash ya data loss ka risk badhta hai.

Example:
Agar ek banking app launch karne ke baad updates na milein, to users complain karenge aur app
irrelevant ho jaayegi.

Q9: Which SDLC phase defines “what to build” vs “how to build”?

Answer:

 “What to build” → Requirement Phase

 “How to build” → Design Phase

Explanation:
Requirement phase batata hai ke client kya chahta hai — yaani goal.
Design phase batata hai ke us goal ko achieve kaise karna hai — yaani method / structure.

Example:
Client ne kaha: “Mujhe student attendance system chahiye.”
→ Requirement phase: samjha kya chahiye.
→ Design phase: decide kia kaise banayenge (database, interface, logic).

Q10: How is SDLC related to project management?

Answer:
SDLC ek project management tool ki tarah kaam karta hai — kyunki wo software project ke har
phase ko organize karta hai.

Links between SDLC & Project Management:

1. Planning aur resource allocation dono me common hai.

2. Time aur budget control dono me equally important hai.

3. Risk management SDLC ke Spiral Model me bhi hota hai.

4. Documentation aur monitoring dono processes me required hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Software banana bhi ek project hota hai — aur SDLC us project ko manage karne ka systematic
framework deta hai taake har kaam time aur quality ke sath complete ho.

🌼 Summary Reminder for You:

Har phase ka goal + input + output yaad rakho:

Phase Goal Input Output

Requirement Kya banana hai Client needs SRS document

Design Kaise banana hai SRS Design plan

Development Code likhna Design Working software

Testing Bugs dhoondhna Code Error-free system

Deployment Deliver karna Final software Live version

Maintenance Update karna Live system Improved version

🌈 PART 2 — Scenario-Based Questions & Detailed Answers

Q1:

A hospital management software needs to be built. Requirements are very clear, and no
changes are expected later.
Which SDLC model is suitable?

Answer:
➡ Model: Waterfall Model

Reason (Roman Urdu mein):

Waterfall model tab use hota hai jab requirements clear aur fixed hoti hain, aur client ne pehle
se decide kar liya hota hai ke kya chahiye.
Is model mein har phase sequential hota hai — pehle planning, phir design, phir development,
testing aur last mein deployment.

Example:
Hospital system jisme patient record, billing aur reports ka ek fixed structure hai — koi frequent
change nahi chahiye, to Waterfall perfect hai.

Q2:

A startup wants to make a mobile app, but they want to test small versions quickly and improve
with user feedback.
Which model should they choose?

Answer:
➡ Model: Agile Model

Reason (Roman Urdu mein):

Agile model tab use hota hai jab continuous feedback aur fast changes chahiyein hoti hain.
Isme kaam “iterations” (sprints) mein hota hai — har short version client ko dikhaya jata hai,
feedback milta hai, aur improvement hoti hai.

Example:
Startup app like “food delivery” — pehle ek choti version (only menu), phir next update
(tracking system), phir next (reviews section) — ye Agile process hai.

Q3:
A defense or aviation project requires strict validation and testing after each phase.
Which SDLC model fits best?

Answer:
➡ Model: V-Model (Verification and Validation Model)

Reason:
V-Model har phase ke sath ek testing phase attach karta hai.
Jaise hi design banta hai, uska verification test hota hai. Jab implementation hoti hai, uska
validation hota hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Yani har kaam ke baad check karna ke sab sahi ho raha hai ya nahi — jaise Army ya flight control
software jahan mistake allowed nahi hoti.

Q4:

A project involves high risks and frequent requirement changes.

Which model is best?

Answer:
➡ Model: Spiral Model

Reason:
Spiral model tab best hota hai jab project risky ho — jaise cost, time, ya requirement
uncertainty ho.
Ye model Waterfall + Prototyping ka combination hai, jisme har round ke baad risk analyze hota
hai aur next round plan hota hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Spiral ghoomta hua process hai — har dafa software ka ek version banta hai, test hota hai, risk
dekha jata hai, aur phir improve hota hai.

Q5:

An educational software is being developed where the basic system is ready but new features
will be added over time.
Which model applies here?

Answer:
➡ Model: Incremental Model
Reason:
Incremental model mein software phases (increments) mein banaya jata hai — pehle ek basic
version launch hota hai, phir naye modules add hote hain.

Example:
Pehle “attendance system” ban gaya, phir “exam result module” add hua, phir “fee system” add
hua.
Yehi incremental approach hai.

Q6:

A client and developer both work closely together, creating prototypes and testing until the final
version is ready.
Which model suits this?

Answer:
➡ Model: Prototyping Model

Reason:
Is model mein developer ek rough model (prototype) banata hai, client ko dikhata hai, feedback
leta hai aur improve karta rehta hai jab tak final version perfect na ho jaye.

Roman Urdu mein:

Jese client kehta hai “Yahan color change karo”, “Ye button upar karo” — aur developer bar bar
test karke final banata hai.

Q7:

A research lab is developing a new system but exact requirements are not known at the start.
Which model should be used?

Answer:
➡ Model: RAD Model (Rapid Application Development)

Reason:
RAD model tab use hota hai jab requirements clear nahi hoti, lekin fast results chahiyein hoti
hain.
Isme prototyping, component reusability, aur user involvement hoti hai.
Roman Urdu mein:
Research lab wale experiment karte hain, har test ke baad system improve karte hain — yehi
RAD ka nature hai.

Q8:

A small company wants to build a simple system with low budget and fixed goals.
Which model is best?

Answer:
➡ Model: Waterfall Model

Reason:
Waterfall simple aur cost-effective hai. Jab goals clear hon aur resources limited, to sequential
approach best hoti hai.

Example:
Small shop billing software jisme 3 functions hain — bill print, add item, total calculate. Fixed
features hain to Waterfall hi sahi.

Q9:

A client wants to see a working demo every two weeks and requests regular updates.
Which model will fit?

Answer:
➡ Model: Agile Model

Reason:
Agile model me short sprints (2–4 weeks) hote hain jahan working demo dikhaya jata hai.
Client har iteration me feedback deta hai aur software continuously evolve hota hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Jese ek mobile app company har 2 week me ek new version upload karti hai, feedback leti hai
aur next sprint start karti hai.

Q10:

A company says, “We can’t take any risk; after every round we need feedback and testing.”
Which SDLC model is suitable?
Answer:
➡ Model: Spiral Model

Reason:
Spiral ka main focus risk analysis aur feedback par hota hai.
Har round ke baad product test hota hai, feedback milta hai aur naye plan ke sath next spiral
start hota hai.

Roman Urdu mein:

Company risk nahi lena chahti — to Spiral unke liye best hai kyunki wo har dafa safety check
karte hue aage badhte hain.

🧩 Part 3: Analytical / Long Questions on SDLC

Q1: Explain how SDLC ensures quality and efficiency in software development.

Answer (Roman Urdu + Simple English):

SDLC ek structured process hai jo software banane ke har phase ko proper plan karta hai.
Yeh ensure karta hai ke koi step miss na ho aur software efficiently aur accurately ban jaye.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

SDLC quality is liye maintain karta hai kyun ke is main har stage (like planning, designing, testing)
ka apna importance hota hai.
Agar har stage pe review aur testing hoti rahe to errors early detect ho jate hain — jisse final
product zyada reliable banta hai.

Example:
Jese ek car factory main har step check hota hai — engine, design, safety — waise hi SDLC main
software ke har part ko test kiya jata hai.

Diagram Suggestion:
Draw ek circular diagram jisme 6 stages hon:
👉 Planning → Analysis → Design → Development → Testing → Maintenance
Aur arrows show karein ke yeh process repeat hota rehta hai (feedback loop).

Q2: Compare the SDLC with Agile methodology.

Answer:

Point SDLC (Traditional) Agile (Modern)

Approach Step-by-step (Sequential) Iterative (Cycle-based)

Flexibility Rigid structure Flexible and adaptive

Testing At the end In every iteration

Customer involvement Only at start & end Continuous feedback

Example Waterfall Model Scrum, Kanban

Roman Urdu Summary:

SDLC ek purana aur structured tareeqa hai jisme steps line by line follow hote hain.
Agile modern approach hai jisme har phase ke baad feedback milta rehta hai aur improvements
hoti rehti hain.

Diagram Suggestion:
Side by side do diagrams:
  SDLC → Straight line flow

 Agile → Circular loop showing multiple iterations

Q3: Why is SDLC called a process model?

Answer:
SDLC ko process model is liye kehte hain kyun ke yeh ek “method” ya “procedure” define karta
hai software banane ka.
Is main input aur output clearly defined hote hain har stage pe.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Har phase ek dusre ke sath connected hota hai.
Jese ek recipe main ingredients aur steps fixed hote hain, waise hi SDLC main software
development ke steps fixed hote hain — is liye isay process model kehte hain.

Q4: Explain the importance of “Requirement Analysis” in SDLC.

Answer:
Requirement Analysis wo stage hai jahan developers aur clients mil kar decide karte hain ke
software ne exactly karna kya hai.
Agar ye phase clear nahi hota to poora project fail ho sakta hai.

Roman Urdu Summary:

Is stage main user ki zaroorat samjhi jati hai, documents banaye jate hain (SRS document), aur
system ke goals clear kiye jate hain.
Jese building banane se pehle map tayar hota hai — waise hi ye software ka “map” hota hai.

Diagram Suggestion:
Show ek magnifying glass symbol jo “requirements” pe focus kar raha ho — representing
analysis.

Q5: Explain how SDLC reduces project risk.

Answer:
SDLC har step pe monitoring aur documentation karne ke wajah se risk ko kam karta hai.
Agar kisi stage par problem milti hai to usko turant fix kiya ja sakta hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

SDLC risk reduce karta hai kyun ke yeh ek clear roadmap deta hai — planning se le kar testing
tak.
Agar koi galti planning main mil jaye to wo development phase tak nahi pohchti — is se time aur
paisa dono bachte hain.

Example:
Agar testing stage pe error milta hai to usko track karke fix kiya jata hai documentation ke zariye.

Q6: How does SDLC help in team communication and coordination?

Answer:
SDLC ek documentation-based process hai.
Har stage par reports aur updates share ki jati hain taake team members ko clear idea ho ke
next step kya hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Team members apne apne roles pe kaam karte hain — koi design banata hai, koi test karta hai
— lekin sab ek hi document aur timeline follow karte hain.
Is se confusion kam hoti hai aur project smoothly chal jata hai.

Diagram Suggestion:
Show team icons connected by arrows representing “flow of communication.”

Q7: Discuss the role of Testing in SDLC.

Answer:
Testing ek critical stage hai jo ensure karti hai ke software error-free aur reliable hai.
Ye stage final product deliver hone se pehle problems identify karti hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Testing phase main har function check hota hai ke wo requirement ke mutabiq kaam kar raha
hai ya nahi.
Is se customer satisfaction aur trust barhta hai.

Q8: Explain the difference between SDLC and STLC.

Roman Urdu Summary:

SDLC poore software ko develop karta hai, jabke STLC sirf testing part handle karta hai.
Dono connected hain — SDLC ke testing phase main STLC use hota hai.

Q9: What happens if the SDLC process is not followed properly?

Answer:
Agar SDLC follow nahi kiya jata to project fail ho sakta hai, cost increase hoti hai, aur software
unstable ban sakta hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Without SDLC, koi proper plan nahi hota — team confuse hoti hai, deadlines miss hoti hain aur
client satisfy nahi hota.
Is liye SDLC ek discipline maintain karta hai.

Q10: Discuss the importance of Maintenance in SDLC.

Answer:
Maintenance stage main software ko update aur improve kiya jata hai jab wo use main aa jata
hai.
Is stage se software long-term reliable rehta hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Maintenance main bugs fix karna, new features add karna, aur system ko modern technology ke
sath compatible banana shamil hota hai.
Yeh ek continuous process hai jo SDLC ka last phase hota hai.

Diagram Suggestion:
Show SDLC circular arrow — last arrow returning to “Maintenance” stage (showing it’s ongoing).

🧩 Q1:

A company is developing software for a banking system where requirements are very clear,
fixed, and not expected to change.
Which SDLC model should be used?

Answer: Waterfall Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Agar requirements pehle se clear hain aur change nahi hone wali,
to Waterfall Model best hota hai.
Is main step-by-step process follow hota hai — pehle planning, phir analysis, design, aur testing.
Changes ke liye flexibility nahi hoti, is liye fixed requirement projects ke liye perfect hai.

Diagram Idea:
Ek straight vertical diagram dikhana — har stage ek ke niche:
Planning → Analysis → Design → Implementation → Testing → Maintenance

🧩 Q2:

A software project is time-sensitive. The client wants an application within 2 months, even if
minor features are added later.
Which model is suitable?

Answer: RAD (Rapid Application Development) Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Jab time kam ho aur software jaldi deliver karna ho,
to RAD model best hota hai.
Is main prototypes banaye jate hain, jisse client se immediate feedback milta hai.
Final version banane se pehle hi system test ho jata hai.

Diagram Idea:
4 circles in flow:
Requirement Planning → User Design → Rapid Construction → Cutover (Delivery)

🧩 Q3:

You are developing a medical equipment control system, where accuracy and safety are critical.
Which SDLC model will you choose?
Answer: V-Model (Verification and Validation Model)

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Medical systems main har stage pe testing zaroori hoti hai,
kyun ke ek chhoti galti bhi patient ke liye dangerous ho sakti hai.
V-Model main har development phase ke sath ek testing phase hota hai —
jisse verification aur validation dono saath chalte hain.

Diagram Idea:
V-shape diagram — left side development stages, right side testing stages.

🧩 Q4:

A project has unclear requirements, and the client keeps changing their mind during
development.
Which SDLC model is suitable?

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Jab requirements unclear ho aur risk zyada ho,
to Spiral Model best hota hai.
Is main development circular hoti hai — har round main planning, risk analysis, development,
aur evaluation hota hai.
Is se har phase ke baad feedback milta rehta hai.

Diagram Idea:
Ek spiral (gol gol) diagram jisme arrows outward ja rahe hon — showing iterations.

🧩 Q5:

You are building a mobile app and want regular client feedback during development.
Which model should be used?

Answer: Agile Model

Har short cycle (iteration) ke baad working software deliver hota hai,
aur client feedback deta hai.
Is se continuous improvement hoti rehti hai.
Diagram Idea:
Circular loop with “Plan → Design → Build → Test → Review → Repeat”.

🧩 Q6:

Your project has high risk and involves new technology which your team hasn’t used before.
Which model is best?

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Nayi technology aur high risk ke projects ke liye Spiral Model suitable hota hai.
Is main har cycle main risk analysis aur prototype testing hoti hai —
to agar koi issue ho to early detect kar liya jata hai.

🧩 Q7:

A small software company is making a simple school fee management system for a local school.
Requirements are small and clear.
Which model fits?

Answer: Waterfall Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Chhote aur clear requirement wale projects ke liye Waterfall Model best hai,
kyun ke is main ek hi direction main kaam hota hai — step by step.
No need of iterative feedbacks.

🧩 Q8:

A client wants to see a working demo quickly before final approval.

Which model will you use?

Answer: Prototype Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Prototype Model main software ka ek sample version (demo) pehle banaya jata hai,
taake client feedback de sake.
Uske baad final system develop hota hai —
ye approach client satisfaction ke liye perfect hai.
Diagram Idea:
User ↔ Developer feedback loop → Prototype → Final Product

🧩 Q9:

Your team is developing a large defense software system — accuracy and reliability are very
important.
Which model is suitable?

Answer: V-Model or Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Defense system main har stage pe verification aur testing zaroori hoti hai,
is liye V-Model ya Spiral Model dono suitable hain.
Spiral zyada secure hai kyun ke risk analysis bhi karta hai.

🧩 Q10:

A software project is very large, involving multiple teams working in parallel on different
modules.
Which model is most suitable?

Answer: Incremental Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Jab project bada ho aur alag teams alag parts pe kaam kar rahi ho,
to Incremental Model best hota hai.
Is main software ko parts (increments) main banaya jata hai —
har increment ek complete working module hota hai.

Diagram Idea:
Blocks showing different increments → combine into one final system.

🧠 Part 5: Model Identification Practice (Twisted & Smart Questions)

Q1:

“Software is developed phase by phase, and each phase starts only after the previous one
finishes.”
Answer: Waterfall Model
Roman Urdu Logic:
Ye line clearly “step by step” working batati hai —
jahan ek phase complete hone ke baad hi next start hota hai.
Tip: Waterfall → ek hi direction main “neeche girta hua pani” jaise stages flow karte hain.

Q2:

“Customer wants quick delivery of software within a short time frame.”

Answer: RAD Model (Rapid Application Development)

Roman Urdu Logic:
Jab time kam ho aur speed chahiye ho, to RAD best hai —
kyun ke is main prototypes ban kar early testing hoti hai.
Tip: RAD = Speed + Prototype + Feedback

Q3:

“Testing is performed parallel to each development phase.”

Answer: V-Model
Roman Urdu Logic:
V-Model main har development stage ke sath ek matching testing stage hoti hai.
Yani design ke sath design testing, coding ke sath unit testing, etc.
Tip: V shape = Development left side, Testing right side.

Q4:

“The client is not sure about requirements; changes may occur frequently.”

Answer: Agile Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Agile flexible model hai — jahan client har iteration main feedback deta hai,
aur changes accept kiye jate hain.
Tip: Agile = Change-friendly model 🚀

Q5:
“A sample version of software is shown to the client before final product.”

Answer: Prototype Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Prototype model main working demo (mock version) pehle ban kar client ko dikhaya jata hai.
Tip: Prototype = Trial version first, real later.

Q6:

“Software is developed in small modules or increments and each increment adds new
functionality.”

Answer: Incremental Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Ye line batati hai ke system ek hi baar nahi, balkay parts main banaya jata hai.
Har increment ek mini version hota hai.
Tip: Increment = Step by step growth.

Q7:

“This model focuses heavily on risk analysis and has cyclic development.”

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Risk analysis + Cyclic pattern = Spiral Model
Is main har round main risk evaluation hoti hai.
Tip: Spiral = Risk + Repetition 🔁

Q8:

“Each iteration delivers a working version of software that the customer can review.”

Answer: Agile Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Agile main har iteration main ek working software deliver hota hai,
aur client feedback deta rehta hai.
Tip: Agile = Iterations + Feedback
Q9:

“Once a stage is completed, we cannot go back to change the previous stage.”

Answer: Waterfall Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Waterfall rigid hota hai — ek dafa stage complete ho jaye to backtrack nahi kar sakte.
Tip: Waterfall = No backward flow.

Q10:

“The main focus of this model is customer satisfaction through continuous delivery.”

Answer: Agile Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Agile model ka main principle hi ye hai ke har cycle main customer se feedback le kar
satisfaction ensure kare.
Tip: Agile = Continuous improvement + Happy client 😄

Q11:

“This model is best when the project involves new, untested technology.”

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
New technology = high risk → Spiral model perfect hai.
Is main har phase ke baad risk testing hoti hai.
Tip: Spiral = Best for risky or new projects.

Q12:

“This model is not suitable for complex and long-term projects.”

Answer: Waterfall Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Waterfall fixed structure hai — large aur changing projects ke liye suitable nahi.
Tip: Waterfall = Simple, not flexible.

Q13:
“The project is divided among multiple teams working simultaneously on different modules.”

Answer: Incremental Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Multiple teams alag modules pe kaam kar rahi hoti hain → har module ek increment hota hai.
Tip: Incremental = Divide & Conquer model.

Q14:

“End-users are involved throughout the development process.”

Answer: Agile Model

Roman Urdu Logic:
Agile main users ka involvement har iteration main hota hai.
Tip: Agile = User always in loop.

Q15:

“This model is based on verification and validation at every step.”

Answer: V-Model
Roman Urdu Logic:
V-Model ka naam hi Verification and Validation se bana hai.
Tip: V = Verify + Validate

📘 Part 6: Exam Practice Questions (Mix of Theory + Scenario + Conceptual)

🧩 Q1:

Why do we need a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

Answer:
We need SDLC because it provides a structured process to plan, design, develop, test, and
maintain software efficiently.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

SDLC ek “step-by-step framework” hai jo ensure karta hai ke software time par, budget main
aur quality ke sath complete ho.
Agar bina SDLC ke kaam ho to confusion aur errors zyada hotay hain.
Diagram Idea:
6-phase circular diagram → Planning → Analysis → Design → Development → Testing →
Maintenance

🧩 Q2:

In which SDLC model changes are not allowed once the development starts?

Answer: Waterfall Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Waterfall rigid model hai — ek phase complete hone ke baad peeche nahi ja sakte.
Is liye agar client baad main change chahe to implement karna mushkil hota hai.

Tip:
“Once you fall down the waterfall, you can’t climb back up!” 😅

🧩 Q3:

Which SDLC model is best suited for projects with frequent requirement changes?

Answer: Agile Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Agile flexible model hai — har iteration ke baad client feedback deta hai aur requirements
update hoti rehti hain.
Yani software continuously improve hota rehta hai.

Diagram Idea:
Small loops showing Plan → Build → Test → Review → Repeat

🧩 Q4:

Which model is most risk-focused and allows changes after each iteration?

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Spiral model har cycle main risk analysis karta hai.
Jab project risky ho, new technology use ho, ya future unclear ho — to Spiral best hai.
Diagram Idea:
Ek spiral gol gol circular diagram with four quadrants — Planning, Risk Analysis, Development,
Evaluation.

🧩 Q5:

Explain the difference between Waterfall Model and Agile Model.

Aspect Waterfall Agile

Approach Sequential Iterative

Flexibility Rigid Flexible

Customer Feedback Only at the end Continuous

Testing After development In every cycle

Roman Urdu Summary:

Waterfall old structured model hai, jisme har step fixed hota hai.
Agile modern model hai jisme har short cycle ke baad client se feedback liya jata hai.

Tip: Waterfall = “Plan once”; Agile = “Improve every time.”

🧩 Q6:

A software company needs to deliver a project as quickly as possible. Which model should they
use and why?

Answer: RAD (Rapid Application Development) Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

RAD model fast delivery ke liye use hota hai.
Is main prototype ban kar client se feedback liya jata hai, jisse software jaldi finalize ho jata hai.

Diagram Idea:
4 steps → Requirement Planning → User Design → Construction → Cutover

🧩 Q7:

Explain the importance of Testing Phase in SDLC.

Answer:
Testing ensures that the developed software is error-free, meets the user’s needs, and works
properly before delivery.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Testing phase main har function check hota hai —
agar koi bug ya error milta hai to usko fix kiya jata hai.
Ye phase quality aur reliability ensure karta hai.

Tip: Testing = Quality Gate of SDLC.

🧩 Q8:

In which model is a working demo (prototype) shown to the client before the final product?

Answer: Prototype Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Prototype model main ek sample version pehle banaya jata hai,
taake client feedback de sake.
Us feedback ke baad hi final version develop hota hai.

Diagram Idea:
User ↔ Developer feedback loop → Prototype → Final Product

🧩 Q9:

Which SDLC model focuses on verification and validation at every phase?

Answer: V-Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

V-Model main har development step ke sath ek testing step hota hai.
Jaise design ke sath design testing, coding ke sath unit testing, etc.

Tip:
V shape = Verify on left, Validate on right ✅

🧩 Q10:

What is the role of Maintenance Phase in SDLC?

Answer:
Maintenance ensures that software continues to work properly after it’s delivered — by fixing
bugs, adding new features, or updating technology.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Maintenance ek continuous process hai jisme software ko update kiya jata hai jab client use
karna start karta hai.
Ye last stage hoti hai jo long-term software health maintain karti hai.

Tip: Maintenance = Life Support of Software 💻❤️

🧩 Q11:

A client wants to test the product after every small delivery. Which model should be chosen?

Answer: Incremental Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Incremental model main software parts (increments) main deliver hota hai —
har part test aur approve kar liya jata hai before moving to next.
Tip: Incremental = Build → Deliver → Improve.

🧩 Q12:

What happens if SDLC stages are not properly followed?

Answer:
Project fail ho sakta hai — cost badh jati hai, time delay hota hai, aur quality gir jati hai.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

Agar SDLC follow nahi hota, to planning weak hoti hai, testing incomplete hoti hai, aur client
satisfy nahi hota.
Tip: No SDLC = No structure, only chaos. 😬

🧩 Q13:

Which model combines risk analysis with prototype development?

Answer: Spiral Model

Roman Urdu Explanation:
Spiral model risk evaluate karta hai aur prototype banata hai har round main.
Yani dono combined hain — safety bhi aur feedback bhi.

🧩 Q14:

Why is SDLC considered a “framework” rather than a single model?

Answer:
Because SDLC includes multiple models (Waterfall, Agile, RAD, etc.) jo har project ke type ke
mutabiq use hote hain.

Roman Urdu Explanation:

SDLC ek umbrella concept hai — jisme different approaches shamil hain software development
ke liye.

Tip: SDLC = Big umbrella ☂️covering all models.

🧩 Q15:

List any four objectives of SDLC.

Answer:

1. Deliver high-quality software

2. Complete within time and budget

3. Reduce risks and errors

4. Ensure customer satisfaction

Roman Urdu Explanation:

SDLC ka main goal ye hai ke software behtar quality ka ho, time aur paisa dono save ho, aur
client khush rahe.

🔹 Question 16:

Q: "Why is SDLC called a life cycle? Is software really alive?"

Answer (Roman Urdu):

Nahi 😄 software zinda nahi hota, lekin isko life cycle is liye kehte hain kyunki iski stages ek
insani life jesi hoti hain — jaise insaan birth → grow → mature → old → death tak jata hai,
waise software bhi plan → develop → test → use → maintain → retire hota hai.

Example:
Jese ek app banai gayi, chalti rahi, update hoti rahi aur phir kisi naye version ne usay replace kar
diya — ye uski death stage thi.

Short logic line for paper:

“SDLC is called a life cycle because software passes through multiple stages from creation to
retirement, similar to human life stages.”

🔹 Question 17:

Q: “Can SDLC be used for small projects or is it only for big organizations?”

Answer (Roman Urdu):

SDLC har size ke project ke liye use ho sakta hai. Lekin,

 Chote projects ke liye simplified version use hota hai (jaise Agile ya RAD model),

 Bade complex projects ke liye formal models use hote hain (jaise Waterfall, Spiral).

Example:
Ek simple school website → Agile.
Ek banking system → Waterfall ya Spiral.

Short logic:

SDLC is flexible; it can be scaled up or down depending on the project size.

🔹 Question 18:

Q: “If a software fails after release, does that mean the SDLC process failed?”

Answer (Roman Urdu):

Zaroori nahi. Kabhi kabhi failure requirements change hone, user misunderstanding, ya
external factors ki wajah se hota hai.
SDLC process strong ho sakta hai, lekin agar user ne galat information di ho ya environment
change ho gaya ho, to software fail kar sakta hai.
Example:
Ek COVID-tracking app 2020 main bani thi, 2023 main useless ho gayi — not because SDLC
failed, but environment changed.

Short logic:

Software failure doesn’t always mean SDLC failure; other external factors can also cause it.

🔹 Question 19:

Q: “Can two SDLC models be combined together?”

Answer (Roman Urdu):

Haan, modern industry main models combine kiye jaate hain — isse Hybrid Model kehte hain.
Example: Waterfall + Agile mix kar ke kuch companies “Agile-Waterfall Hybrid” use karti hain.

Reason:
Kuch parts sequential (Waterfall) hote hain aur kuch iterative (Agile).
Isse efficiency aur flexibility dono milti hain.

Short logic:

Yes, hybrid SDLC models combine strengths of different approaches for better adaptability.

🔹 Question 20:

Q: “Why documentation is important in SDLC?”

Answer (Roman Urdu):

Documentation har stage ka written proof hota hai — taake agar koi developer change ho jaye
ya project lamba ho, to naya banda samajh sake.
Iske bina system ka maintenance mushkil hota hai.

Example:
Agar ek developer resign kar jaye aur koi aur aaye — to wo sirf documentation pad kar samajh
jata hai kya code kahan use hua.

Short logic:

Documentation ensures continuity, clarity, and easy maintenance throughout the software’s life
cycle.

🧩 1. Risk Management (‫ خطرات‬ka

Intizam)
Meaning:
Risk Management ka matlab hai un possible problems ko pehchan’na aur handle karna jo
software project main future main ho sakti hain.
Yani agar koi mushkil ya failure ho sakti hai, to usay pehle se plan kar lena ke agar wo ho gayi to
hum kya karenge.

Simple Example:
Agar ek software project main server crash hone ka chance hai, to team pehle se backup plan
bana leti hai — jaise data backup system rakhna.

Steps of Risk Management:

1. Risk Identification: Kon kon se risks ho sakte hain? (e.g., delay, system crash, virus
attack)

2. Risk Analysis: Ye risk kitna serious hai aur hone ka chance kitna hai?

3. Risk Prioritization: Pehle un risks ko handle karo jo zyada dangerous hain.

4. Risk Control / Mitigation: Har risk ka solution plan karna.

5. Risk Monitoring: Har stage pe dekhte rehna ke koi naya risk to nahi aya.

Diagram Idea:
A simple flow diagram:

Risk Identify → Risk Analyze → Risk Plan → Risk Control → Monitor

🔍 2. Verification (Tasdeeq)
Meaning:
Verification ka matlab hai check karna ke software ko sahi tarah banaya gaya hai ya nahi,
according to design or requirements.
Yani ye dekhna ke "kya humne software sahi banaya?"

Example:
Agar design main likha hai ke ek button “Submit” hona chahiye, to verification main check kiya
jata hai ke wo button code main exist karta hai ya nahi.

Purpose:

 Errors ko early stage (development ke dauran) main hi pakadna.

 Ensure karna ke har phase (requirement, design, coding) properly follow hua hai.

Techniques:

 Reviews

 Walkthroughs

 Inspections

Easy Sentence:
Verification = “Are we building the product right?”

✅ 3. Validation (Tasdeeq-e-Maqsad)
Meaning:
Validation ka matlab hai ye confirm karna ke software user ki real needs ko fulfill karta hai ya
nahi.
Yani ye dekhna ke "kya humne sahi software banaya?"

Example:
Agar user chahta tha ek “Online Payment Feature”, to validation check karega ke wo feature sahi
kaam kar raha hai ya nahi.

Purpose:
  User satisfaction ensure karna.

 Software real-world main expected tarah se behave kare.

Techniques:

 Testing (System Testing, Acceptance Testing)

 Prototyping

Easy Sentence:
Validation = “Are we building the right product?”

Difference Verification vs Validation:

Aspect Verification Validation

Focus Process par Product par

Question “Are we building the product right?” “Are we building the right product?”

Performed by Developers Users / Testers

Example Code check Real testing

⚙️4. Limitation (Pabandiyan /

Mehdoodiyan)
Meaning:
Limitation ka matlab hai software ki wo boundaries jahan tak wo kaam kar sakta hai, us se
aage wo kaam nahi karega.

Example:
Agar ek app sirf Android 10 tak compatible hai, to ye uski limitation hai.
Ya agar software sirf 1000 users ek saath handle kar sakta hai — to wo bhi limitation hai.

Types:

 Technical Limitation: System memory, processing speed, hardware requirement.

 Functional Limitation: Kuch specific kaam hi kar sakta hai, sab nahi.

 Resource Limitation: Budget, time, ya skilled manpower kam hai.

Diagram Idea:
Ek circle banao jisme likho “Software System”, aur uske bahar likho “Beyond this = Limitation”.

📏 5. Constraint (Qaid / Rok Tham)

Meaning:
Constraint ka matlab hai wo rules ya restrictions jinke andar reh kar software develop karna
hota hai.
Ye basically limitations imposed by client, environment, ya technology hoti hain.

Example:

 Software ko 2 mahine main complete karna hai (Time Constraint)

 Software sirf Java main hi banana hai (Technical Constraint)

 Cost sirf Rs. 50,000 tak honi chahiye (Budget Constraint)

Types of Constraints:

1. Time Constraint – Project specific deadline.

2. Cost Constraint – Limited budget.

3. Scope Constraint – Sirf limited features banane hain.

🌍 6. Scope of Software (Daaira-e-Kaar /

Hadbandi)
Meaning:
Scope ka matlab hai software ka kaam kitna aur kis limit tak hai, yani ye software kya karega
aur kya nahi karega.

Example:
Agar ek school management system ban raha hai, to iska scope ho sakta hai:

 Attendance record rakhna

 Fee management
  Student performance tracking
But: Transport system manage karna uske scope main nahi ho sakta.

Scope define karne ka faida:

 Clear vision milta hai.

 Time aur budget control main rehta hai.

 Unnecessary features avoid hote hain.

Diagram Idea:

Project Goal → Scope Define → Features List → Out-of-scope

💻 1. Software Engineering parhnay ka

main maqsad (Purpose)
Software Engineering parhnay ka main maqsad ye hai ke hum software bananay ka
professional aur systematic tareeqa seekh saken.
Sirf code likhna software banana nahi hota — balkay usay plan karna, design karna, test karna
aur maintain karna bhi part hota hai.

Is liye Software Engineering hume sikhati hai:

“Kaise ek idea ko ek reliable, secure, aur bug-free software product main badla jata hai.”

⚙️2. Software Engineering ka Importance

(Ahmiyat)
Software Engineering important is liye hai kyunki aaj har field — education, health, business,
banking, aur entertainment — sab software par depend karti hain.
Agar software galat tarike se ban jaye to:

 Time waste hota hai,

 Money loss hota hai,

 Aur user trust khatam ho jata hai.

Isi liye Software Engineering ensure karti hai ke software time par, budget main aur user ki
requirement ke mutabiq deliver ho.

🧠 3. Systematic Development ka Concept

Software Engineering hume systematic process follow karna sikhati hai — jese:

1. Requirement Analysis: User kya chahta hai?

2. Design: System ka structure kaise hoga?

3. Implementation: Coding ka stage.

 Accuracy (sahi result)

 Efficiency (fast performance)

 Reliability (trustworthy)

 Security (safe from hackers)

 Maintainability (easily updateable)

maujood ho.

Example:
Socho agar ek banking app thoda sa bug bhi kare, to paise galat transfer ho sakte hain — isi liye
professionally engineered software hi safe hota hai.

💡 5. Teamwork aur Project Management Skills

Software Engineering hume teamwork aur management sikhati hai.

Large software ek person nahi banata — poori team hoti hai (developers, testers, designers,
analysts).
Software Engineering sikhaati hai kaise:

 Tasks divide kiye jayein,

 Time aur budget manage kiya jaye,

 aur client ke sath effective communication rakhi jaye.

🧭 6. Changing Technology ke sath Chalna

🧩 Software ke Types
Software mainly do basic types ke hotay hain:

1. Generic Software (Aam Istemaal Wala Software)

2. Specific Software (Khaas Maqsad Wala Software)

🧠 1. Generic Software (‫)عام استعمال واال سافٹ ویئر‬

🔹 Definition:

Generic Software wo hota hai jo general public ya market ke liye banaya jata hai, jiska use
bohot saare log kar sakte hain, na ke sirf ek specific client.

Ye software pehle se design aur develop kiya jata hai, aur phir market main sale ya distribute
kiya jata hai.
Yani, ye software “one product for many users” hota hai.

🔹 Simple Words Main Samjho:

Generic software wo hai jo kisi ek person ke liye nahi, balkay sab ke liye common purpose ke
liye hota hai.
Har user usay apni need ke mutabiq use karta hai — lekin wo sab ke liye ek jaisa hota hai.

🔹 Examples:

 MS Word, MS Excel, PowerPoint → sab log use karte hain documentation aur
presentation ke liye.

 Adobe Photoshop → kisi specific client ke liye nahi, sab designers ke liye available hai.

 Google Chrome, VLC Media Player, WinRAR, Antivirus Software, etc.

🔹 Characteristics (Khasoosiyat):

1. For General Users: Ye har user ke liye bana hota hai.

2. Mass Market Product: Ye ek saath bohot logon ko sell hota hai.

 3. Cost Effective: Price kam hoti hai kyunki development cost sab users ke beech divide ho
jati hai.

4. Standard Features: Har user ko same features milte hain.

5. No Customization for One Client: Aap chaho to settings change kar lo, lekin core
software sab ke liye same rehta hai.

🔹 Example Scenario:

Socho Microsoft ne MS Word banaya — ye kisi ek school ke liye nahi, balkay har company,
student, teacher use kar sakta hai.
Ye Generic Software hai.

🧠 2. Specific Software (‫)خاص مقصد واال سافٹ ویئر‬

🔹 Definition:

Specific Software wo hota hai jo sirf ek client ya organization ke liye design aur develop kiya
jata hai.
Ye software kisi particular purpose ke liye banaya jata hai — jahan user ki specific requirements
hoti hain.

Yani ye software “one product for one client” hota hai.

🔹 Simple Words Main Samjho:

Specific software wo hota hai jo ek particular company ya user ki zarurat ke mutabiq banaya
jata hai.
Wo sirf ussi client ke kaam aata hai, doosray users ke liye useful nahi hota.

🔹 Examples:

 Banking Software → sirf ek bank ke operations ke liye banaya gaya.

 Hospital Management System → sirf uss hospital ke record aur appointments ke liye.

 School Management System → ek particular school ke rules aur needs ke mutabiq.

 Online Food Delivery App → kisi ek restaurant brand ke liye design ki gayi.

🔹 Characteristics (Khasoosiyat):

1. Client-Specific: Sirf ek client ke requirement ke mutabiq banaya jata hai.

2. Customized Features: Har cheez user ke kehne par design hoti hai.

3. High Cost: Development mehnga hota hai kyunki ek hi customer pay karta hai.

4. Unique Design: Do clients ke software same nahi hote.

5. Limited Distribution: Ye software public ko sell nahi kiya jata.

🔹 Example Scenario:

Agar ek hospital apni appointment aur patient management ke liye software banwata hai, to wo
Specific Software hoga.
Doosra hospital chahe to apna alag banwa sakta hai — kyunki unke rules aur needs alag hain.

💻 Software Engineering Detailed Concepts

🧾 1. Product Specifications (Product ki
Tafseel ya Wazahat)
🔹 Definition:

Product Specifications ka matlab hai —

software product ki wo complete written details jo batati hain ke system ne kya karna hai aur
kaise karna hai.

Yani jab hum software banate hain, to pehle client ki requirements likhi jati hain — unko
formally document karna hi product specification kehlata hai.

🔹 Simple Words Main Samjho:

Product specification aik document hota hai jisme likha hota hai:

 Software ka purpose kya hai

 Uske functions aur features kya honge

 Performance expectations kya hain

 Aur limitations aur constraints kya hain

🔹 Example:

Agar hum “Online Library Management System” bana rahe hain, to product specification main
likha hoga:

 User login kar sakta hai

 Book search kar sakta hai

 Admin new books add kar sakta hai

 System 1000 users ek waqt main handle karega

🔹 Purpose:

 Developer ko clear direction milti hai

 Client aur developer ke darmiyan misunderstanding nahi hoti

  Project ke time aur cost estimate karna easy hota hai

📊 Diagram Idea:

Client Needs → Product Specification Document → Software Design → Development

⚙️2. Product Characteristics (Product ki

Khasoosiyat)
🔹 Definition:

Product Characteristics ka matlab hai software ki qualities ya properties jo usay ek acha aur
reliable software banati hain.

Yani software ke andar wo cheezein jo uski performance, quality, aur usability batati hain.

🔹 Main Characteristics:

No. Characteristic Explanation (Roman Urdu main)

1 Functionality Software apna kaam sahi aur complete karta hai ya nahi.

2 Reliability Software stable hai aur crash nahi hota.

3 Usability Use karna easy aur user-friendly hai ya nahi.

4 Efficiency Speed aur performance acchi hai ya nahi.

5 Maintainability Software ko update karna asaan hai ya nahi.

6 Portability Kya software alag systems (Windows, Linux) pe chal sakta hai?

🔹 Example:

Microsoft Word ka ek example lo —

 Ye fast hai (efficiency),

 User-friendly hai (usability),

  Har OS pe chal sakta hai (portability).

Is liye uski product characteristics strong hain.

📊 Diagram Idea:

Product Characteristics:

develop, test, aur maintain kiya jata hai.
Isay hum Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) bhi kehte hain.

🔹 Main Steps / Phases:

Phase Description (Roman Urdu main)

1. Requirement Analysis Client se poocha jata hai ke unhe software main kya chahiye.

2. System Design System ka structure aur flow design kiya jata hai.

3. Implementation (Coding) Design ke mutabiq code likha jata hai.

4. Testing Software ko test kiya jata hai ke koi error ya bug to nahi.

5. Deployment Software client ke environment main install kiya jata hai.

6. Maintenance Time ke sath system ko update aur improve kiya jata hai.

🔹 Example:
Agar ek “E-commerce Website” banani ho:

1. Pehle client requirements (products, payment, login system) liye jate hain.

2. Phir website design banti hai.

3. Code likha jata hai.

4. Testing hoti hai.

5. Website launch hoti hai.

6. Baad main updates aur bug fixes kiye jate hain.

📊 Diagram Idea (SDLC Model):

Software systems bohot complex ho gaye hain — unka size aur functionality badh gaya hai.
Is se unhe manage karna mushkil ho jata hai.

🔹 2. Change in Requirements:

Clients aksar beech main apni requirements change kar dete hain — is se time aur cost dono
barh jate hain.

🔹 3. Budget Limitations:

Limited budget hone se high-quality software banana mushkil hota hai.

🔹 4. Time Pressure:

Deadlines short hoti hain — developers ko fast kaam karna padta hai, jisse bugs reh jate hain.

🔹 5. Security Issues:

Software ko hackers aur viruses se secure banana bhi major challenge hai.
🔹 6. Communication Gap:

Developer aur client ke beech agar communication clear na ho to misunderstanding hoti hai.

🔹 7. Lack of Skilled Developers:

1) Quick summary — kya hai Requirements Engineering (RE)?

Requirements Engineering woh process hai jismein hum stakeholders (users, customers,
business owners) ke zarooriyat, constraints, aur expectations ikhata karte hain, unko analyze
karte hain, clearly likhte hain (specify karte hain), verify karte hain aur phir change hone par
manage karte hain. Iska maqsad yeh hai ke software jo banega woh “the right thing” banay aur
uski behaviour testable aur maintainable ho. (GeeksforGeeks)

Roman Urdu:
Requirements Engineering = stakeholders se maloomat lena, zarooriat samajhna, unko sahi
tareeqay se likhna aur badlav par control rakhna.

2) Core phases (high-level process)

Aam tor par RE these main phases mein hota hai:

1. Elicitation (gathering) — stakeholders se requirements ikhatta karna.

2. Analysis & negotiation — conflicts nikalna, ambiguities hataana, priorities set karna.

3. Specification (documentation) — requirements ko formal/structured doc (SRS) mein

likhna.

4. Validation & verification — ensure karna ke requirements sahi, complete aur testable
hain.

5. Requirements management — traceability, change control, versioning, prioritization

during the lifecycle. (ISO)
Roman Urdu short:
Elicitation → Analysis → Specification → Validation → Management — yeh poora cycle baar-
baar chalta rehta hai, specially agile projects mein.

3) Deep dive: Har phase ko detail mein samjhte hain

A — Elicitation (kahan se requirements aati hain & kaise ikhatta karein)

Techniques: interviews, questionnaires/surveys, observation (shadowing users), workshops,

brainstorming, prototyping, use-cases / user stories, role-playing. Har technique ka apna faida:
interviews detailed info deti hain, prototyping jaldi feedback lata hai. (GeeksforGeeks)

Example (Roman Urdu + English):

 Interview: “Store manager se poocha: aap rozana inventory kaunsa problem face karte
ho?”

 Prototyping: ek simple HTML mockup dikhao — user bole “button left pe hona chahiye”
→ yeh clear requirement ban jati hai.

Tips: hamesha open questions pucho, tacit knowledge (jo users ko pata bhi nahi hota ke woh
chahte kya hain) find karne ke liye observation aur prototyping use karo.

B — Analysis & negotiation

Objectives: identify contradictions, refine vague requirements, prioritize (kon zaroori hai, kon
future mein kayi), aur feasibility check karna (technical, cost, time constraints).

Example conflict: Business owner chahta hai “system every transaction record kare” (high
storage cost) — developer suggest karta hai sampling/archival. Negotiation se ek compromise
nikalta hai: “last 2 years detailed, puranay archived compressed” — yeh requirement phir
specified ho jati hai.

Modeling tools: UML use-case diagrams, activity diagrams, data flow diagrams — yeh help karte
hain complex behaviour ko simplify karne mein. (See Sommerville for analysis practices).
(Scribd)

C — Specification (SRS: Software Requirements Specification)

SRS normally structured document hota hai (IEEE/ISO templates follow karna common best
practice). Typical sections: purpose, scope, overall description, functional requirements
(features), non-functional requirements (performance, security, usability), external interfaces,
design constraints, acceptance criteria, appendices. Formal standards aur templates ISO/IEEE
29148 jaise guide karte hain. ([Link])

Example of a functional requirement (good style):

REQ-001: The system SHALL allow registered users to log in using email and password.
Roman Urdu: REQ-001: System ko zaroori hai ke registered user email+password se login kar
saken.

Example of non-functional (performance):

NFR-101: Response time for dashboard load SHALL be <= 2 seconds under normal load (<= 100
concurrent users).
Roman Urdu: NFR-101: Dashboard normal load par 2 seconds se zyada na le.

Important: Har requirement ke saath unique ID, priority, owner, aur acceptance criteria/tests
likho — is se traceability aur testing asaan hota hai.

D — Validation & verification (kaise check karte hain ke requirements sahi hain)

Methods: peer reviews/inspections of SRS, prototype demos, acceptance test cases (derived
from requirements), model checking (jahan applicable), traceability checks (har requirement ka
test link hona chahiye).

Example: Acceptance test for REQ-001: “Given a registered user with valid credentials, when
they submit login form, then system returns 200 and redirects to dashboard.” Agar test pass
nahi hota to requirement ya implementation dono review honge.

E — Requirements Management (change, traceability, baselines)

Key practices:

 Traceability matrix — map requirements → design modules → code modules → tests.

 Baselining — ek stable SRS version ko baseline kahte hain; changes ko formal change
request se allow karo.

 Change impact analysis — jab koi requirement change hoti hai to analyze karo ki kin
modules/tests ko affect karta hai.
Standards like ISO/IEEE 29148 recommend processes and information items for
management. (ISO)

Small traceability example (table):

ReqID | Description | Design Module | Test Case

REQ-001| User login via email/password | AuthModule | TC-Login-01

REQ-002| View last 30 transactions | TxnModule | TC-Txn-05

4) Qualities of a good requirement (what to check for)

A well-written requirement should be: correct, unambiguous, complete (within scope),

consistent (no conflicts), ranked (priority), verifiable/testable, modifiable (clear structure),
traceable. Ye characteristics IEEE SRS guidance mein clearly listed hain. (UAA Math)

Roman Urdu examples of bad vs good:

 Bad ambiguous: “System should be fast.” → Ambiguous.

 Good measurable: “Average response time <= 2s for dashboard with 100 concurrent
users.” → Verifiable.

5) Techniques to resolve common RE problems (practical tips)

 Missing/stated-wrong requirements: Use prototyping and frequent stakeholder demos.

 Conflicting stakeholder goals: Facilitate workshops and prioritize using MoSCoW

(Must/Should/Could/Won’t) or weighted scoring.

 Changing requirements (volatility): keep a backlog, use iteration (agile) and strict
change control for plan-driven projects.

 Unclear NFRs (non-functional): convert them into measurable acceptance criteria (e.g.,
“99.9% uptime per month” not “high availability”).

(These are common industry practices — GfG article discusses elicitation & management
techniques; standards like ISO/IEEE 29148 formalize the processes.) (GeeksforGeeks)

6) Agile vs Traditional (waterfall) approach to RE — kya farq hai?

 Waterfall / plan-driven: Detailed SRS before design/coding. Good for stable

requirements and regulated domains.

 Agile: Lightweight, continuous elicitation; requirements as user stories in backlog;

acceptance tests written per story. Frequent re-prioritization by Product Owner. Agile
 still needs traceability and clear acceptance criteria—just that documentation is leaner
and iterative. (Sommerville discusses both approaches and tradeoffs.) (Scribd)

Roman Urdu: Agile mein requirements gradually clear hoti hain; waterfall mein pehle sab kuch
clearly likha hota hai.

7) Tools, metrics & measurement (what teams track)

Tools: JIRA (user stories / backlog), IBM DOORS / ReqView (formal requirements tools),
Confluence (docs), Excel/CSV for traceability, test management tools for mapping tests to
requirements. ([Link])

Useful metrics: requirements volatility (changes/unit time), percent requirements with test
cases, average time to resolve requirements defects, coverage (design/tests mapped to
requirements).

8) Common mistakes (aur unke solutions — practical)

1. Vague natural language → Use templates & measurable acceptance criteria.

2. No stakeholder buy-in → early demos + sign-off (baselining).

3. Skipping NFRs → list and measure all essential NFRs (security, perf).

4. Poor traceability → maintain RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix).

5. Treating RE as one-time → make it iterative; keep requirements under management.

9) Short checklist you can use right away

 Each requirement has: ID, short title, full description, priority, owner, acceptance
criteria/tests.

 Tag each req as Functional / Non-functional / Domain.

 Maintain a traceability table linking req → design → tests.

 Run a review meeting with stakeholders before baselining.

 For each NFR, write measurable criteria.
