Question 2

Correct Answer:

The conceptual systems design phase involves the development of the general framework for implementing user requirements and solving problems identified in the analysis phase.Conceptual design elements include the following elements: Output specifications to meet users' information needs.Data storage specifications based on reports that need to be produced,the manner in which data are stored (sequential,random,etc.),the type of database to use,and appropriate field sizes.Input specification after output is identified so that the "when,where,and how" of data input are appropriate for the types of output needed.Processing procedures and operations specifications are determined after the sequencing and processes for input and data storage are known.

Step-by-step reviews of procedures or program logic early in the system design that focus on inputs,files,outputs,and data flows are called
