Exam 14: CASE Tools

Agile teams use only whiteboard sketching for drawing instead of modeling tools.​

A(n) _________, a construction tool, is an interactive tool that helps in designing a custom interface, creating screen forms, and handling data entry format and procedures.​

Modern languages such as Java or Python are _________ programming languages.​

A(n) _________ refers to the mix of software tools, methods, and physical resources that an IT team uses to create an information system.​

A(n) _________, a computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tool feature, organizes and documents system development tasks.​

In a fourth-generation environment that includes modern CASE tools, system developers deliver low-quality software, lengthen the timetable, and increase expense.​

Which of the following programming languages allows a programmer to define the actions that a program must perform when certain occurrences occur, instead of writing a series of instructions?​

A(n) _________, a construction tool, is a tool for designing formatted reports rapidly.​

According to the Florida Institute of Technology, _________ is an integrated, information-driven approach - one that comprises people, processes and practices, and technology - to all aspects of a product's life and its environment.​

It seems clear that computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tools will continue to evolve and become more powerful.​

A(n) _________ is a database that serves as a central storage location for all information about the system being developed.​

_____ methods use a variety of diagrams, such as use case, class, sequence, and state transition diagrams.​

_____ methods tend to use spiral or other iterative models.​

A repository, a computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tool feature, organizes and documents system development tasks.​

Which of the following is an advantage of using an integrated development environment (IDE) tool?​

A drawback of a computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) environment is that it does not provide an overall framework for a developer to create a series of graphical models based on data available in a central repository.​

Although generic computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tools can be used to plan and design any type of information system, it usually is easier to use an integrated development environment (IDE), which uses built-in tools provided by the software vendor.​

_________ can measure past performance, help managers understand business trends, and monitor current operations.​

A(n) _________, a construction tool, allows computer programs to be developed rapidly by translating a logical model directly into code.​
