IT 380 A+: CHAPTER 11 EXAM ENGAGING THE LATEST UPDATE
OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
1. Although programmers perform the actual coding, IT managers usually assign
systems analysts to work with them as part of a team.
True
2. Using flowcharts, programmers can break large systems into subsystems that
are easier to understand and code.
True
3. Compiling a program using a CASE tool or a language compiler detects syntax
errors, which are language grammar errors.
True
4. Commercial software packages must undergo unit and integration testing
similar to that of in-house developed systems, although system testing usually is
not performed.
False: systems testing is always performed on commercial software packages
5. The skill set required to develop documentation usually is the same as that
required to develop a system.
False
6. Effective online documentation is an important productivity tool because it
empowers users and reduces the time that IT staff members must spend in
providing telephone, e-mail, or face-to-face assistance.
True
7. Most webinars are web-based broadcasts that allow a user to download
multimedia files to a PC or portable device.
False: podcast
8. Data conversion is easier when a new system replaces a manual system
because all data can be entered manually, unless it must be scanned.
False: Manually entering data is hard and tedious
, 9. To minimize the need to require information from two different systems,
cyclical information systems usually are converted using the direct cutover
method at the beginning of a quarter, calendar year, or fiscal year.
True
10. Phased operation is more expensive than full parallel operation because the
analyst has to work with the entire system at any given time.
False
11. The post-implementation evaluation of a system verifies that the new system
meets specified requirements, complies with user objectives, and produces the
anticipated benefits.
True
12. Modules that are independent are tightly coupled.
False:loosely coupled
13. If modules are loosely coupled, one module is linked to internal logic
contained in another module.
False:tightly coupled
14. Podcasts can be prescheduled, made available on demand, or delivered as
automatic updates.
True
15. The main objective of _____ is to avoid problems or to identify them as soon
as possible.
a. direct cutover
b. quality assurance
c. application development
d. cohesion
Quality assurance
16. To achieve better, faster, and less expensive methods of software
development, _____ designed the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), which
improves quality, reduces development time, and cut costs.
a. International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
b. Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
