System Development Life Cycle - 12CompSci

SDLC stands for...

• System development life cycle. 
• Software development litigation cycle. 
• System development life conditions. 
• Software development life cycle. 

A detailed analysis covers all of these EXCEPT

• The user's needs and requirements. 
• Acquire hardware and software. 
• The deficiencies of the old system. 
• A recommendation of a solution. 

A JAD session is useful for: 

• Allowing users to research a preferred solution. 
• Working with the user to gain data and information about the system. 
• Drawing up a detailed analysis of the old system.
• Allowing the designer of the new system to review documentation. 

A feasibility study does NOT look at

• How the new system will be implemented. 
• How well the proposed new system will work. 
• Whethere the organisation has the appropriate hardware support. 
• Cost/benefit attributes. 

User manuals and how-to documentation is produced in which phase(s) of the SDLC?

• In the Analysis, Development and Implementation phase only. 
• In the Preliminary Analysis and Analysis phase only. 
• In the Implementation phase only. 
• In the Implementation and Evaluation phase only. 

Documentation for the project can include the following, EXCEPT

• User manuals and how-to guides. 
• Gantt and PERT charts. 
• Research databases and sources used. 
• Feasibility studies. 

The iterative model of system development is also called: 

• JAD model. 
• RAD model. 
• Quick model. 
• Circular model. 

What is the 'scope' of a project?

• The time estimates for how long it will take to complete. 
• The order in which activities need to be completed. 
• The goals, objectives and expectations of the project. 
• All activities that can take place at the same time. 

Using the waterfall SDM, a prototype can be developed..

• During the Design phase. 
• During the Development phase. 
• During the Implementation phase. 
• During the Analysis phase. 

Who should review the detailed design before it is developed?

• The developer. 
• The users. 
• As many stakeholders as possible. 
• The ICT support team.
