Exam 13: Accounting System Development

What is the software development prototype methodology?

One activity included in the analysis phase of SDLC is developing budgets.

Which phase in the SDLC typically takes the longest?

Which of the activities are performed in the design phase of the SDLC?

A(n)________ is an IT professional who designs and writes the software for applications, such as accounting software.

When a system can no longer be maintained, no longer satisfies enterprise requirements, or fails to address new opportunities, it will be replaced with a new system, and a new system development life cycle begins.

The SDLC provides a common language for communicating with programmers, system analysts, database administrators, and other IT professionals engaged in accounting system development.

Match the design feasibility name to the appropriate definition. A)Assesses whether the new system IT architecture can interact with the existing IT architecture that will remain in use B)Evaluates whether the current IT personnel and enterprise users can run the new system hardware and software C)Assesses the probability of successful implementation and use of the new system, including any legal considerations D)Considers whether the environment of the enterprise is conducive to the changes and adaptations required by the new system E)Analyzes the costs and benefits of the new system F)Evaluates whether the new system deliverables can be delivered by the required due dates -Operational feasibility

The baseline stage of the ABC methodology of software development has now many basic steps?

The ________ methodology collects some user requirements to analyze, design, and build a sample to show the user to obtain feedback.
