Exam 17: Developing Software to Streamline Operations

Test conditions detail the steps the system must perform along with the expected result of each step? In the implementation phase the organization places the system into production so users can begin to perform actual business operations with it.

Scripting languages group data and corresponding processes into objects.

What is the implementation phase in the SDLC?

What is the overall process for developing information systems, from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance?

Fourth-generation languages (4GL) are programming languages that look similar to human languages. For example, a typical 4GL command might state, "FIND ALL RECORDS WHERE NAME IS 'SMITH'."

Control objects for information and related technology (COBIT) are software suites that automate systems analysis, design, and development.

First-generation languages are machine language and are difficult for people to understand.

What verifies that the units or pieces of code function correctly when integrated together?

What involves graphically representing the processes that capture, manipulate, store, and distribute information between a system and its environment?

Development Testing assesses whether the entire system meets the design requirements of the users.

Process modeling illustrates the movement of information between external entities and the processes and data stores within the system.

Post-implementation reports are formal reports or audits of a project after it is up and running.

Which of the following is an issue related to the waterfall methodology?

Detailed user documentation is created that highlights how to use the system and how to troubleshoot issues or problems.

Which phase brings all the project pieces together into a special testing environment to eliminate errors and bugs and verify that the system meets all the business requirements defined in the analysis phase?

What verifies that separate systems can work together passing data back and forth correctly?

Business requirements are the specific business requests the system must meet to be successful, so the analysis phase is critical because business requirements drive the entire systems development effort.

The testing phase takes all the detailed design documents from the design phase and transforms them into the actual system.

Conversion modifies software to meet specific user or business requirements.

What is a project manager?
