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

The first step in programming is to have a clear understanding of the problem.

Machine-language programs vary from computer to computer; that is,they are machine-________.

Computer-based programs that automate various activities of the systems development life cycle in most phases of the SDLC are called computer-aided software engineering tools (CASE).

One advantage of modularization of a program is that the entire program can be more easily developed,because the parts can be developed and tested separately.

Adjusting and improving the system by having system audits and periodic evaluations and making changes based on new conditions is called systems ________.

The SDLC is the step-by-step process of systems analysis and design.

The highest level of programming languages is machine language,because it is the language that the computer itself uses.

An information specialist who performs systems analysis,design,and implementation is a(n)________.

Very-high-level languages are also called fourth-generation languages or nonprocedural languages.

SQL is a fourth-generation language called a ________ language; it is used to search databases.

Documentation is needed for all people who will be using or be involved with the program in the future.These people include _______,operators,and programmers.

An information specialist who performs systems analysis,design,and implementation is a ________.

If only a few users try out the new system until its reliability has been proved,this type of system conversion is called ________ implementation.

Explain Phase 1 of the SDLC: Conduct a preliminary investigation.

Using CASE tools,UML,and other software to build working models of system components so that they can be quickly tested and evaluated is known as prototyping.

The written description of a program and how to use the program is referred to as ________.

Flash Player is a scripting language.

BASIC was the first high-level computer programming language.

A markup language is a procedural programming language.

In Phase 5 of the SDLC,if a company simply quits using the old system and begins using the new one,this is what type of system conversion plan?
