Software Design and Evolution by Engr. Daniel Bermodez Quiz

During the evolution of computer-based systems, personal use of computers was common in the third era.

The microprocessor has led to the development of various intelligent products, including automobiles and industrial robots.

In less than a decade, computers became readily accessible to only a specific group of people.

The fourth era of computer system evolution focuses on individual computers and computer programs rather than collective impact.

Computing architectures are transitioning from decentralized client/server environments to centralized mainframe environments.

The evolution of computer-based systems highlighted software-related problems that persisted throughout the eras.

In the early years of the computer era, software was often viewed as a secondary concern by many professionals.

Hardware advancements in the early years of computing outpaced the development of software.

The demand for new software programs during the early computer era was exceeding the production capacity of software developers.

Software developers in the early years of computing often relied on systematic methods to ensure the reliability and quality of their programs.

Product software, developed to be sold to customers, had a significant presence during the early years of computing.

Professionals in the 1970s had a clear understanding of what 'computer software' meant.

During the early years of computer system evolution, more emphasis was placed on computer system engineering rather than the implementation of computer-based systems.

The second era of computer system evolution introduced new concepts of human-machine interaction, including multiprogramming and single-user systems.

Real-time systems in the second era of computer system evolution could produce output in minutes instead of milliseconds.

Advances in online storage in the second era led to the first generation of database management systems.

The second era of computer system evolution was characterized by the exclusive use of custom-built software for mainframes and minicomputers.

The third era of computer system evolution started in the mid-1980s and lasted for a decade.
