Version Control and Baselines

✅ Pass Strategy (40+)

Focus on Block 1 (SE Models + SRS) and Block 2 (Testing + COCOMO). Q1 is compulsory — cover Waterfall, Spiral, SRS sections, Functional vs Non-functional = ~20 marks guaranteed. Pick 3 from Q2-Q5: COCOMO, Black Box vs White Box, DFD, Risk Management = another ~30 marks. Total ~45.

🎯 40+ marks·⏱ ~15 hrs

⭐ Distinction Strategy (72+)

Add Block 3 (CASE, Mobile) and Block 4 (Re-engineering, UML, Emerging Trends). Cover DFD deeply (appeared in every paper), Coupling/Cohesion, Cleanroom SE, CASE tools, and at least one emerging trend topic. 25 Priority-1 answers memorized = 70+ marks minimum.

🎯 72+ marks·⏱ ~40 hrs
