Consider the following scenario: you are a network tester, and your boss informs you that "Integration testing is a time-consuming process. Integration testing is not required if each piece of software has been extensively tested. Rather of doing so, we should immediately begin system testing to see how it works. If any modules fail to interact properly, we will take care of the problem at that time." What do you think about this statement? Do you agree or disagree with it? Please provide justification for your answer.

Your current LIS system will no longer be supported by the company, and you have to select a new system. In order to choose the best system for your laboratory. (Keep in mind that you have to continue to provide testing on the current system during this transition.)
How will you unsure that the most important issue for your laboratory-flexibility is addressed in the new system.
Consider the following scenario: you have been asked (as a software engineer) to create a hospital patient control application. Everything is explained to you up front, and the system demands a high degree of reliability. Which process model would you recommend for this kind of software, in your opinion? In addition to providing strong arguments to support your proposed process model, the explanation of the recommended process model should be accurate with the help of a visual and concise.

You are required to audit the IT infrastructure of the computer labs for the Faculty of Information Technology at the university. In preparation for this, you have been tasked to conduct an Audit Planning Process. In the process, you realise that the labs are freely accessible to anyone and the computers require no log in credentials to use them.
