Part C
Q7. As an Software engineer, define the roadmap to establish maintenance for Software product. How you estimate the cost of servicing a maintenance request? Take any scenario to explain. ['15 Marks] Q8. Suppose that a certain software product for business application size is 350 KLOC, product complexity is

0.95, software reliability is 1.15 and analyst capability is 1.05. Assuming software developer cost is $9000 per programmer-month. Calculate efforts, cost required to develop product and nominal development time for organic and semi-detached software product. [15 Marks] Q9. Name the two fundamental principles that are used extensively in software engineering to tackle the complexity in developing large problems. Explain these two principles by taking suitable examples.
