True/False

1- The breadth of the software complexity refers to the relations and interactions among these functions, components, and so on.

True/False

2- Horizontal software refers to specific applications and vertical application refers to common services.

True/False

3- Current sophisticate users do not need user manuals and product support.

True/False

4- The chance of an error in communication increases with the number of communication paths, not with the number of people who need to communicate.

True/False

5- More people means there are more communication paths

True/False

6- Once the requirements are documented, a review with the users/customers is done before the design of the software.
