Exam 1: The Systems Development Environment

Joint Application Development is a systems development methodology created to radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems.

__________ are software tools that provide automated support for some portion of the systems development process.

In OOAD,objects are organized into object courses.

The SOA approach results in a low return on investment due to not being able to reuse services

The idea behind service-oriented architecture (SOA)is:

Match each of the following SDLC phases with its corresponding definition. -The first phase of the SDLC in which an organization's total information system needs are identified,analyzed,prioritized,and arranged.

Match each of the following phases with its corresponding products,outputs,or deliverables.(Answers may occur more than once.) -Description of current system and where problems or opportunities are with a general recommendation on how to fix,enhance,or replace the current system; explanation of alternative systems and justification for the chosen alternative.

Match each of the following RUP phases with its corresponding definition. -During this phase,the system is deployed and the users are trained and supported.

Turning system specifications into a working system that is tested and then put into use describes:

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

Systems development methodologies and techniques based on objects rather than data or processes best defines:

Sometimes the systems development life cycle is iterative.

eXtreme Programming is not one of the Agile Methodologies.

What is meant by Agile Methodologies? Identify the three key principles that the Agile Methodologies share.

Often the choices of language,database,and platform are already decided by the organization or by the client,and these information technologies must be taken into account in the physical design of the system.

The __________ is the traditional methodology used to develop,maintain,and replace information systems.

The four phases of RUP include __________,__________,__________,and __________.

For an SOA approach to be successful,a large number of __________ would have to be identified and made available for various applications to access.

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

The complex organizational process through which computer-based information systems are developed and maintained best defines:
