Exam 10: Building Systems and Applications: Software Development, Programming, and Languages

During the systems design phase,data is gathered,analyzed,and a report is written.

If parts of the new system are introduced at different times,this type of system conversion plan is called ________ implementation.

Desk-checking,debugging code,and using real-world data to make sure the program works are all part of program testing.This is called beta testing.

Both machine language and assembly language are machine dependent.

An easy-to-use programming fourth-generation language that allows users to easily produce reports is called a query language.

There are five generations of programming languages; the lowest level is machine language,and the highest level is natural language.

All languages from the second generation on must be translated into machine language for the computer to be able process the input data.This is done with a(n)__________.

All these are control structures used in structured programming EXCEPT ________.

A block of preassembled programming code that encapsulates both a chunk of data and the processing instructions that may be called on to be performed on that data is called a(n)________.

If the old and new systems are operated side by side until the new system has proven itself,this type of system conversion plan is parallel implementation.

A collection of related components that interact to perform a task or accomplish a goal is a ________.

In the ________ decision,the systems analyst must decide whether to have a program custom written or to purchase an existing software package.

Any activity designed to keep programs in working condition,error-free,and up to date is referred to as ________.

Which of these was the first high-level language (third generation)and was used for mathematical formulas?

If the performance of individual parts of a new system is examined using test (made-up or sample)data,what kind of testing is this?

If a company simply quits using the old system and begins using the new one,this type of system conversion plan is called ________ implementation.

A ________ is used to insert into text details ("tags")about the structure and the appearance of that text; this type of coding is used for web documents.

The basic language of the computer is known as machine language and represents data as 0s and 1s.

A narrative that uses normal human-language statements to describe the logic and processing flow of a program is called ________.

Each third-generation language requires one of two types of language translator to convert the code to machine language.Which type of language translator converts the entire high-level language input into machine language to be executed later (that is,not immediately)?
