PART TWO
(Answer any FOUR questions)
5. Write brief notes on any three of the following:
a) Black-Box testing
b) Data warehouse
c) Normalization
d) Phases of SDLC
(5+5+5)
6.
a) A company canteen needs an automated system for its food and beverage management.
The canteen receives food and beverage items from different distributors. All the non
perishable items are stored in the store-room and the perishable items are put in the fridge.
The manager should be able to add, delete or update food and beverage items onto the
system and perishable and non perishable item details are to be stored separately. Both
waiters and the cooks should be able to update the perishable items, but only the cooks
should be allowed to update the non perishable items. Both cooks and waiters are not
allowed to add or delete any items that are entered.
Draw DFD Level 0, Level 1 and, if necessary, Level 2 diagrams for the above scenario.
b) What is Context diagram? What is the difference between a logical DFD and a physical
DFD?

7.
a) A Baby shop sells items like toys, cradles, prams etc. The salesman enters the information
regarding the sales in a register. The shop also places orders for new toys, cradles etc
whenever required.
Identify the entities and their attributes and draw an ERD for the above scenario. Would
Salesman be an entity? Why?
