Exam 13: Accounting System Development

________ uses techniques to organize and streamline the project.

The ________ methodology starts with a baseline system. Then the baseline system is customized to meet the company's specific needs.

The ________ phase of the SDLC is triggered by problems with the current system, by opportunities that the current system does not take advantage of, or by governmental regulations not satisfied by the current system

Match the SDLC phase to the appropriate definition. A)In this phase, the models are transformed into software programming code, which is then tested. B)Operate the new system as users enter data, execute processing, and generate reports. C)Models for the current system, such as database models and business process models, are studied to determine modifications required. D)Based on your system analysis, design new system models. E)Identify the problem, need, or opportunity that a new system would address. F)Deliver the new system, including hardware and software. -Design

A)A problem that relates to security of the system B)A problem that impacts business operations C)A problem that relates to system problems, such as system availability D)A problem that impacts revenues (benefits)or costs E)A problem that relates to confidentiality, integrity (accuracy and completeness), or availability of data F)A problem that pertains to the proficiency of the current system -Service problem

After the system design phase is complete, the system proposal is submitted to the client for approval. What information is included in the system proposal?

Most accounting systems today are built using an ABC methodology.

The waterfall methodology of software development consists of two stages: Baseline and Customization.
