Exam 1: The Systems Development Environment

Destruction is the third phase of RUP.

Match each of the following phases with its corresponding products,outputs,or deliverables.(Answers may occur more than once.) -New versions or releases of software with associated updates to documentation,training,and support.

Planning for cutover must begin early because the RAD approach is so fast.

Which of the following is a systems development methodology created to radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems?

All of the following are criticisms of the traditional waterfall SDLC EXCEPT:

During the inception phase of RUP,the scope and feasibility of the project is determined.

RAD is becoming less and less a legitimate way to develop information systems.

The amount of time and effort devoted to maintenance depends a great deal on the performance of the previous phases of the life cycle.

Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD)is becoming less popular.

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

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A structure that encapsulates attributes and methods that operate on those attributes.

Which of the following is a true statement about RAD?

An integrated and standard database used in CASE to provide product and tool integration is called a:

Match each of the following phases with its corresponding products,outputs,or deliverables.(Answers may occur more than once.) -Functional,detailed specifications of all system elements.

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

Which of the following is a true statement regarding logical design?

__________ is 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.

CASE tools are built around a central repository for system descriptions and specifications.

The particular processes that an analyst will follow to help ensure that his work is complete,well-done,and understood by project team members best defines:

__________ is 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.
