Exam 1: The Systems Development Environment

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

The traditional waterfall SDLC narrowly defines the end user or customer's role.

The first phase in the systems development life cycle (SDLC)is planning.

One of the criticisms of the traditional SDLC is that it focuses on milestone deadlines,leading to too little focus on doing good analysis and design.

The systems development life cycle is the traditional methodology used to develop,maintain,and replace information systems.

Identify the products of the SDLC phases.

A central ________ enables the integrated storage of specifications,diagrams,reports and project management information.

A logical grouping of objects that have the same attributes and behaviors best defines:

Which of the following grew out of the convergence of the increased speed and turbulence of doing business in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the ready availability of high-powered,computer-based tools to support systems development and easy maintenance?

In many cases,organizations do not run applications in-house,choosing instead to use an application on a per-use basis by accessing through an application service provider.

One criticism of the traditional waterfall SDLC is that the role of ________ was narrowly defined.

Which of the following is a structure that encapsulates attributes and methods that operate on those attributes?

The particular processes that an analyst will follow to help ensure that his work is complete,well-done,and understood by project team members best defines:

A methodology adopted by an organization will be consistent with its general management style.

A description of the current system identifying where problems or opportunities are with a general recommendation on how to fix,enhance,or replace the current system is a product of the design phase.

RAD depends on extensive ________ involvement.

Destruction is the third phase of RUP.

All of the following are advantages of eXtreme Programming EXCEPT:

Large,complex systems that consist of a series of independent system modules best describes:

What are methodologies,techniques,and tools?
