In which phase of the SDLC are the system requirements studied and structured?

Analysis

Which SDLC phase focuses on the business aspects of the design?

Analysis

________ is designed to support organizational functions or processes.

Application software

Which of the following are delivered after the completion of the implementation phase?

Code, documentation, training procedures, and support capabilities

________ were developed to make systems developers' work easier and more consistent.

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools

Which of the following are delivered after the completion of analysis phase?

Description of current system and where problems and opportunities are with a general recommendation on how to fix, enhance, or replace current system

________ are large, complex systems that consist of a series of independent system modules.

Enterprise-wide systems

Which of the following is NOT true regarding iterative development?

Feedback is not provided to developers and customers.

Which is the fourth phase in a SDLC cycle?

Implementation

________ is/are the property that occurs when entity types or object classes are arranged in a hierarchy and each entity type or object class assumes the attributes and methods of its ancestors, that is, those higher up in the hierarchy.

Inheritance

Systems development methodologies and techniques based on objects rather than data or processes.

OOAD

A logical grouping of objects that have the same attributes and behaviors is known as a(n) ________

Object class

________ is/are often called the third approach to systems development, after the process oriented and data-oriented approaches.

Objects

According to Fowler, which of the following is NOT considered a valid individual methodology that comes under the umbrella of Agile Methodologies?

Passive Software development

What is the first phase in the Systems Development Life Cycle?

Planning

Which of the following activities happens during the SDLC planning phase?

User acceptance testing is performed.

Which of the following is a drawback of the traditional waterfall SDLC approach?

Users are locked into requirements.

Which of the following is NOT valued according to the Agile Manifesto for software development?

Working software over comprehensive documentation

The second phase of the SDLC, in which system requirements are studied and structured.

analysis

Computer software designed to support organizational functions or processes.

application software

Software tools that provide automated support for some portion of the systems development process.

case tools

The third phase of the SDLC, in which the description of the recommended solution is converted into logical and then physical system specifications

design

The fourth phase of the SDLC, in which the information system is coded, tested, installed, and supported in the organization.

implementation

The complex organizational process whereby computerbased information systems are developed and maintained.

information systems analysis & design

The property that occurs when entity types or object classes are arranged in a hierarchy and each entity type or object class assumes the attributes and methods of its ancestors—that is, those higher up in the hierarchy. The property allows new but related classes to be derived from existing classes.

inheritance

The part of the design phase of the SDLC in which all functional features of the system chosen for development are described independently of any computer platform

logical design

The final phase of the SDLC, in which an information system is systematically repaired and improved.

maintenance

A structure that encapsulates (or packages) attributes and the methods that operate on those attributes. It is an abstraction of a real-world thing in which data and processes are placed together to model the structure and behavior of the real-world object.

object

A logical grouping of objects that have the same (or similar) attributes and behaviors (methods).

object class

The part of the design phase of the SDLC in which the logical specifications of the system from logical design are transformed into technology-specific details from which all programming and system construction can be accomplished.

physical design

The first phase of the SDLC, in which an organization's total information system needs are identified, analyzed, prioritized, and arranged.

planning

The organizational role most responsible for the analysis and design of information systems.

systems analyst

A standard process followed in an organization to conduct all the steps necessary to analyze, design, implement, and maintain information systems.

systems development methodology

An object-oriented systems development methodology. This methodology establishes four phases of development, each of which is organized into a number of separate iterations: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition

RUP

One of the most popular realizations of the iterative approach for object-oriented development is the ________.

RUP

Which of the following CASE tools is useful in the analysis phase of the SDLC?

Report generators

The traditional methodology used to develop, maintain, and replace information systems

SDLC

Most organizations find it beneficial to use a standard set of steps, called ________, to develop and support their information systems.

Systems development methodology
