Exam 13: System Implementation

The bringing together of all the programs that comprise a system for testing describes:

In __________,each module is tested alone in an attempt to discover any errors in its code.

The purpose of system testing is to determine whether the software,documentation,technical support,and training activities work as intended.

After maintenance,which of the following is the most expensive and most time consuming phase of the entire life cycle?

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Integration test

The process of bringing together all of the modules that comprise a program for testing purposes is referred to as:

Briefly identify the four types of installation.

__________ is a technique used in testing modules,especially where modules are written and tested in a top-down fashion,where a few lines of code are used to substitute for subordinate modules.

Match each of the following types of testing with its corresponding description. -This type of testing verifies protection mechanisms built into the system will protect it from improper penetration.

__________ refers to changing over from the old information system to a new one by turning off the old system when the new one is turned on.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A testing technique in which participants examine program code for predictable language-specific errors.

System documentation that is part of the program source code or is generated at compile time best defines:

A test case is a specific scenario of transactions,queries,or navigation paths that represent a typical,critical,or abnormal use of the system.

Briefly identify and categorize the seven different types of tests as proposed by Mosley.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Walkthroughs

A system administrator's guide is an example of external system documentation.

Unit testing is a technique used in testing modules,especially where modules are written and tested in a top-down fashion,where a few lines of code are used to substitute for subordinate modules.

Test planning is often done during systems design.

After maintenance,the implementation phase of the systems development life cycle is the most expensive and time-consuming phase of the entire life cycle.

What are the six factors,identified by Lucas,that influence the extent to which a system is used?
