Question

1. (TCO 3) The process of understanding and specifying what an information system should do is:         systems design.        systems construction.        systems analysis.        systems implementation.

 

Question 2.2. (TCO 3) Systems analysts seek to use analysis and design techniques to:         solve information technology problems using business methods.        select interesting information technology and then find ways to apply it in a business.        change business methods to be compatible with new information technology.        solve business problems using information technology.

 

Question 3.3. (TCO 3) The last step in a systems analyst's approach to problem-solving is to:         monitor to make sure that desired results are obtained.        implement a solution.        research and understand the problem.        develop a set of possible solutions.

 

Question 4.4. (TCO 3) An information system is defined as a collection of interrelated components that:         transform management reports into business transactions.        allow business customers to communicate directly with suppliers.        collect, process, store, and output information for performing business tasks.        develop analysis and design specifications.

 

Question 5.5. (TCO 3) Functional decomposition is defined as a process of:        assembling a system out of smaller subsystems.        integrating systems into a larger super system.        connecting interrelated components to form a system.        dividing a system into components based on subsystems.

 

Question 6.6. (TCO 3) A sales management system would most likely be a subsystem of: )        an accounting and financial management system.        a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.        a manufacturing management system.        a human resources management system.

 

Question 7.7. (TCO 3) The separation between the automated and manual parts of a system is the:         system firewall.        system divider.        manual barrier.        automation boundary.

 

Question 8.8. (TCO 3) An information system that supports marketing, sales, and service operations is: )        a supply chain management system.        an accounting and financial management system.        a human resource management system.        a customer relationship management system.

 

Question 9.9. (TCO 3) A system that controls internal production processes that turn raw materials into finished goods is:         a knowledge management system.        a collaboration support system.        a business intelligence system.        a manufacturing management system.

 

Question 10.10. (TCO 3) Using an integrated set of software modules as the primary information systems in an organization is known as:        strategic planning.        enterprise resource planning.        business process reengineering.        functional decomposition.

Question 1.1. (TCO 3) The central idea underlying the concept of the systems development life cycle is:        that a larger system can be divided into smaller subsystems.        that an information system has a life of its own that follows a definite progression.        that the performance of a business process can be improved by changing how work is done.        that an information system can be viewed as a collection of interacting objects.  Question 2.2. (TCO 3) The _______________ approach to systems development assumes that a development project can closely follow a detailed plan that was drawn up in advance.         adaptive        predictive        object-oriented        polymorphic  Question 3.3. (TCO 3) Which of the following is characteristic of the waterfall approach to the SDLC?         Development activities are repeated over and over until the project is complete.        Several different development activities can occur together within a single phase.        Phases are completed in a strict sequence, with no repetition of a previous phase.        The original project plan can be easily adjusted as the project progresses.  Question 4.4. (TCO 3) In one typical implementation of the spiral model, the system is constructed as a series of:        domains.        repositories        disciplines.        prototypes.  Question 5.5. (TCO 3) A central idea of iterative development is to: (        divide a large project into a series of smaller mini projects.        fully complete each phase before moving on to the next phase.        perform each development activity once and only once.        deliver the completed system to the users as a single unit at the end of the project.  Question 6.6. (TCO 3) A project having high technical risk, in which the requirements and needs are uncertain, would be best suited to which SDLC approach? (Points : 1)        A waterfall approach        A predictive approach        An adaptive approach        A sequential approach  Question 7.7. (TCO 3) The phases of the Unified Process life cycle are: (Points : 1)        planning, analysis, design, and implementation.        initiation, planning, execution, and delivery.        inception, elaboration, construction, and transition.        encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.  Question 8.8. (TCO 3) During the ______________ phase of the Unified Process, the team designs, implements, and tests the complete system, possibly including multiple releases.         construction        inception        transition        elaboration  Question 9.9. (TCO 3) An abstract representation of an important aspect of the real world used in systems development is:        a methodology.        a discipline.        a model.        a generalization/specialization hierarchy.  Question 10.10. (TCO 3) A database that stores information about the system in a visual modeling tool, including models, descriptions, and references, is called: (        an integrated development environment.        a methodology.        a repository.        a problem domain.
