Exam 12: Moving Into Implementation

During the implementation phase of the SDLC:

According to the textbook,which of the following is not a cause of project failure?

Which of the following is NOT a common type of user documentation?

White-box testing is used when the complexity is high and you want to 'trace' each path through the programming applications.

The critical path is the fine line between the alpha test and the beta test as you change from test data to real production data.

By the time the design phase is started,all time estimates should be within 5% of the actual completion time.

When creating a project plan,project analysts normally figure out the 'critical path'.

Unit tests focus on:

If the system being analyzed,designed and developed requires programming (as compared to a package or outsourcing),developing the software may be the single largest component of any systems development activity in terms of both time and money.

There are two approaches to unit testing:

Analysts should not worry about the users' perceptions of the new system during acceptance testing.

Alpha tests come before Beta tests.

An ironic fact of systems development is that the more programmers that are involved in the development of the system,the longer the project will take.

The main difference between integration testing and system testing is that integration testing looks to see if modules work together without errors;but system testing is more focused on meeting business requirements.

The development of all parts of the new system (including programming,testing,system documentation and user documentation)is generally called:

The final phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)is Implementation.

Which is NOT an activity of the implementation phase of the SDLC?

Acceptance tests are done primarily by:

As a suggestion to positive acceptance testing,analysts should:

Nancy,a project manager,has identified some potential risks with a form creating package that is being used for the first time.The developer who is using this form creating package is new to that package,although she has been with the company for several years and has been recognized for outstanding development skills.Nancy should rate this as a high risk and immediately drop the forms creation package from this project.
