| 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. |
