AFAB 210 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
A systematic approach is a way to handle a problem or situation. It's a carefully thought
out plan to a problem. Sometimes used to refer to a tactic in battle. - Answer-t
In an engineering context, an Open System is a bound system, i.e. defined, in which
every input is known and every resultant is known (or can be known) within a specific
time. - Answer-f
___________________ is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a
system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the
context of larger systems. - Answer-Systems thinking
Both negative (damping) and positive (amplifying) feedback are always found in
complex systems. The effects of an element's behavior are fed back to in such a way
that the element itself is altered - Answer-t
Stakeholders (SH) are people or organizations (legal entities such as companies,
standards bodies) that have a valid interest in the system. They may be affected by it
either directly or indirectly. - Answer-t
o make analysis easier, consider grouping the requirements into these four categories: -
Answer-Functional Requirements, Operational Requirements, Technical Requirements,
Transitional Requirements
This will define operations that must be carried out in the background to keep the
product or process functioning over a period of time. - Answer-not tech
What are the three basic parts of a system: - Answer-Input, Process, Output
The term "Systems Theory" is a well established and precise meaning and can
reasonably be considered a specialization of System Thinking, System Science and
approach? - Answer-True
Systems analysis: - Answer-This field is closely related to requirements analysis or
operations research. It is also "an explicit formal inquiry carried out to help someone
(referred to as the decision maker) identify a better course of action and make a better
decision than he might otherwise have made."
