Exam 13: System Implementation

During which of the following generic life-cycle phases would a user's guide be produced?

Information systems personnel and end users are the two audiences for the final systems documentation.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -The process of bringing together all of the modules that comprise a program for testing purposes.The modules are typically integrated in a top-down,incremental fashion.

A master test plan is developed during design.

This type of user documentation is intended primarily for those who will install and administer a new system and contains information about the network on which the system will run,software interfaces for peripherals such as printers,troubleshooting,and setting up user accounts:

The type of testing responsible for determining what the code does is:

This plan lays out a strategy for moving from the old system to the new,from the beginning to end of the process:

During beta testing,users test a completed information system using real data in the real user environment.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding description. -Changing over from the old information system to a new one incrementally,starting with one or a few functional components and then gradually extending the installation to cover the whole new system.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding description. -Changing over from the old information system to a new one by turning off the old system as the new one is turned on.

This type of user documentation contains information about a new system release,including a list of complete documentation for the new release,features and enhancements,known problems and how they have been dealt with in the new release,and information about installation:

The systems administration plan answers such questions as when and where the new system will be installed,what people and resources are required,which data will be converted and cleansed,and how long the installation process will take.

__________ is written or other visual information about an application system,how it works,and how to use it.

__________ refers to trying out a new information system at one site and using the experience to decide if and how the new system should be deployed throughout the organization.

What is an electronic performance support system? What forms might this system take?

Match each of the following types of testing with its corresponding description. -This type of testing determines how the system performs on the range of possible environments in which it may be used.

An acceptance sign-off allows users to test for proper system installation and then signify their acceptance of the new system with their signatures.

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 describes:

Training on the use of the system begins during the early stages of the:

Written or other visual information about an application system,how it works,and how to use it best defines:
