Systems Analysis and Design Exam 1
(chp.1,2,3,4,5,8,9)/ 151 Question
with Correct Answers.
Computer application (app) - -a computer software program that
executes on a computing device to carry out a specific function of
set of related functions
-Information system - -a set of interrelated computer
components that collects, processes, stores, and provides as
output the information needed to complete business tasks
-Systems analysis - -those activities that enable a person to
understand and specify what the new system should accomplish
-systems design - -those activities that enable a person to define
and describe in detail the system that solves the need
-project - -a planned undertaking that has a beginning and an
end, and that produces some definite result
-Systems development life cycle (SDLC) - -the entire process
consisting of all the activities required to build, launch, and
maintain an information system
-information systems development process - -the actual
approach used to develop a particular information system
-agile development - -an information systems development
process that emphasizes flexibility to anticipate new requirements
during development
, -iterative development - -an approach to system development in
which the system is 'grown' piece by piece through multiple
iterations
-Subsystem - -an identifiable and partitioned portion of an
overall system
-6 core processes for software systems development - -1)
Identify problem and obtain approval
2) Plan and monitor the project
3) Discover and understand details
4) Design system components
5) build, test, and integrate system components
6) complete system tests and deploy solution
-Technology Architecture - -a set of computing hardware,
network hardware and topology, and system software employed
by an organization
-application architecture - -the organization and construction of
software resources to implement and organization's information
systems
-system requirements - -the activities a system must perform or
support and the constraints that the system must meet
-Functional requirements - -the activities that the system must
perform
-nonfunctional requirements - -system characteristics other than
the activities it must perform or support
, -FURPS - -a requirements classification framework (acronym
stands for functionality, usability, reliability, performance, and
security)
-usability requirements - -operational characteristics related to
users, such as the user interface, related work procedures, online
help, and documentation
-reliability requirements - -requirements that describe system
dependability
-performance requirements - -operational characteristics related
to users, such as the user interface, related work procedures,
online help, and documentation
-Security requirements - -requirements that describe how access
to the application will be controlled and how data will be
protected during storage and transmission
-design constraints - -restrictions to which the hardware and
software must adhere
-FURPS+ - -an extension of FURPS that includes design
constraints as well as implementation, interface, physical, and
supportability requirements
-Implementation requirements - -constrains such as required
programing languages and told, documentation method and level
of detail, and a specific communication protocol for distributed
components
-interface requirements - -required interaction among systems
