Exam 5: Systems Analysis

The ___________________________________ phase, comes after the problem analysis phase, and defines the business requirements for a new system.

Joint application development (JAD) is considered a part of Joint Requirements Planning (JRP), which is a more comprehensive application of the techniques to the entire system development process.

An objective is something that will limit your flexibility in defining a solution to your constraints. Essentially, objectives cannot be changed.

A repository is a location (or set of locations) where systems analysts, systems designers and system builders keep the documentation associated with one or more systems or projects.

A __________________________________ at a high level how the system interacts with the world.

___________________________________ analysis leads to true understanding of problems and can lead to not so obvious, but more creative and valuable solutions.

The scope definition phase looks at the question "Is this project worth looking at?"

The preliminary master plan is also known as the baseline plan.

The processes of an object are called _____________.

Reverse engineering technology reads the program code for an existing database, application program, and/or user interface and automatically generates the equivalent system model.

Each candidate solution must be analyzed for feasibility.

A system proposal may be presented as a:

_________________________ is a classical set of techniques used to collect information about system problems, opportunities, solution requirements and priorities.

The requirements analysis phase identifies candidate solutions, analyzes those candidate solutions, and recommends a target system that will be designed, constructed, and implemented.

The requirements analysis phase answers the question, "Is this system worth looking at?"

An objective is a measure of success. It is something that you expect to achieve, if given sufficient resources.

A ________________________________ is a description of activities and services a system must provide.

The feasibility analysis should be performed on each individual candidate solution without regard to the feasibility of the other candidates. This approach discourages the analyst and users from making a premature decision about which candidate is the best.

The problem analysis phase typically includes which of the following tasks?

Which of the following is NOT a phase in systems analysis?
