the defect testing process.
4(b) What do you understand by the term integration testing? What are 10 CO4 1
the different types of integration testing methods that can be used
to carry out integration testing of a large software product?
4(c) What do you mean by control flow graph (CFG)? Discuss how 10 CO4 5

the nominal development time.
5(c) Differentiate among basic COCOMO model, intermediate 10 CO5 1
COCOMO model and complete COCOMO model.
