Question

Multiple Choice (3 points each)

The Logical Equivalent (LE) is:

A process that analysts must use to create effective requirements of the needs of a system

A software development lifecycle methodology

A risk management framework process

None of the above

The final phase of the SDLC is:

Planning

Maintenance

Implementation

Design

An advantage of the Spiral Model is:

It quickly delivers a working product

It allows for building of a highly customized product

It’s less expensive to implement changes

None of the above.

A disadvantage of the Agile Model is:

Creating a never-ending spiral for a project that goes on and on

Al requirements need to be known before development starts

The project can head the wrong way quickly if the customer is not clear about the requirements

None of the above

When applying Business Process Reengineering (BPR), analysts should:

Never consider input from others

Only concentrate on the bottom line

Coordinate the decisions and attempt to organize the BPR using multiple JAD sessions

None of the above

The three standard tasks in a task list as it relates to documentation are:

Interviewing, Modeling, Acceptance Test Planning

Projection, Modeling, Documentation

Forecasting, Planning, Implementation

None of the above

Essentially, ISO 9000 requires three basic things:

Minimal testing time, minimal design time, no implementation follow-up

Having a formal QA team, having an established risk management framework, provide post-implementation follow-up

Multiple prototypes, multiple change packages, heavy documentation

Say What You Do, Do What You Say, Prove it

Some of the roles of an IT team in the going live phase are:

Ensuring that appropriate security is in place to protect applications and data

Appropriate backup and restore procedures are in place

Performance testing both before and during go live

All of the above

An advantage of a DFD is:

It represents a graphical display of the process and us therefore usable document that can be shown to both users and programmers

It takes a long time to create

Both of the above

None of the above.

An acceptance test plan is:

The initial set of requirements for a project

The set of tests that if passed will establish that the software can be used in production

An implementation document

None of the above.

Free-Response/Short Answer (5 points each)

What is the purpose of gap analysis? Be specific and thorough.

What is meant by the phrase “Cannot Test 100% of Everything”?

Pick one SDLC model, describe it, and provide one scenario where that model would be beneficial. (NOTE - You cannot use the example you gave in Discussion #8).

What is reverse engineering? How can it be used to build a new system?

What is the purpose of business specifications?

Explanation / Answer

1.The Logical Equivalent (LE) is:

A:A process that analysts must use to create effective requirements of the needs of a system

2.The final phase of the SDLC is:

A:implementation phase, duringwhich the system is actually built (or purchased, in the case of apackaged software design).

3.An advantage of the Spiral Model is:

A:It allows for building of a highly customized product

4.A disadvantage of the Agile Model is:

A:The project can head the wrong way quickly if the customer is not clear about the requirements

5.When applying Business Process Reengineering (BPR), analysts should:
