Exam 1: The Systems Development Environment

The Agile Methodologies promote a self-reflective software development process.

The output for the analysis phase is the:

The Agile Methodologies focus on people rather than ________.

An ________ is a structure that encapsulates attributes and methods that operate on those attributes.

The systems development life cycle is a sequentially ordered set of phases.

During installation,the new system becomes part of the daily activities of the organization.

One criticism of the traditional waterfall SDLC approach is that:

RAD follows the traditional SDLC phases,but the phases are shortened and combined with each other to produce a more streamlined development technique.

Every medium to large corporation and every custom software producer will have its own specific life cycle or systems development methodology in place.

Proponents of the Agile Methodology state that techniques that work well for stable projects,such as building a bridge,work well for software projects.

The three key principles of Agile Methodologies include a focus on adaptive rather than predictive methodologies,a focus on people rather than roles,and a focus on self-adaptive processes.

During the design phase,analysts convert the description of the recommended alternative solution into logical and physical system specifications.

________ is the part of the design phase of the SDLC in which the logical specifications of the system from logical design are transformed into technology-specific details from which all programming and system construction can be accomplished.

The Rational Unified Process (RUP)is an object-oriented methodology that establishes four phases of development.

Which of the following is a true statement regarding logical design?
