Question

A major information system has 1140 modules. There are 96 modules that perform control and coordination functions and 490 modules whose function depends on prior processing. The system processes approximately 220 data objects that each has an average of three. There are 140 unique database items and 90 different database segments. Finally, 600 modules have single entry and exit points. Compute the DSQI for this system.

Answer 1

The student is asking to compute the DSQI for an information system based on various module characteristics, but without a specific formula or complete information, the DSQI cannot be accurately calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to compute the Design Structure Quality Index (DSQI) for a major information system with specific characteristics. The DSQI is a metric used to assess the structural quality of a software system's design by evaluating several attributes of its modules and components. According to the details provided, the information system has 1140 modules, with 96 modules that perform control and coordination functions, 490 modules dependent on prior processing, 220 data objects, 140 unique database items, 90 different database segments, and 600 modules with single entry and exit points. However, the method for calculating the DSQI has not been provided in the question, nor is there widely recognized formula for it. The information given in the question seems to be disconnected and does not directly pertain to a specific established metric for computing DSQI.
