System Analysis and Design Final Exam
guide questions fully solved(verified for
accuracy)
Information System - answer A set of interrelated components that collect, process, store, and
provide as output the information needed to complete business tasks
Systems Analysis - answer Those system development activities that enable a person to
understand and specify what the new system should accomplish
Systems Design - answer Those system development activities that enable a person to describe
in detail how the resulting information system will actually be implemented
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - answer A framework that identifies all the activities
required to research, build, deploy, and often maintain an information system
1. Identify the 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 the solution - answer What are the core processes of the
SDLC?
Agile Development - answer An information system development process that emphasizes
flexibility and rapid response to anticipate new and changing requirements during development
Iterative Development - answer An approach to system development in which the system is
"grown" piece by piece through multiple mini-projects called iterations
, 1. Gather detailed information
2. Define requirements
3. Prioritize requirements
4. Develop user-interface dialogs
5. Evaluate requirements with users - answer What are the activities of system analysis? (Pg. 43)
Functional Requirements - answer The activities the system must perform to support the users'
work
Nonfunctional Requirements - answer Required system characteristics other than the activities
it must perform or support
Stakeholders - answer Persons who have an interest in the successful implementation of the
system
1. Interviews
2. Questionnaires
3. Documentation, input and output reviews
4. Process observation and documentation
5. Researching vendor solutions
6.Active user comments and suggestions - answer What are some information-gathering
techniques?
Model - answer Representation or abstraction of some aspect of a system
Unified Modeling Language (UML) - answer A standard set of information system model
constructs and notations defined by the Object Management Group
