Implementing the solution is the stage where:

• coding in a programming language takes place.
• testing of the solution takes place.
• determining the requirements takes place.
• modification of the solution takes place.

A software solution that is high in complexity, requiring absolute reliability coupled with extensive development timeframes would most likely be developed using which approach?

• The structured approach.
• The prototyping approach.
• The RAD approach.
• The end user approach.

For the prototyping approach to be successful, which element may be considered to be the most important?

• Strong communication between the developers and the users.
• Precisely known requirements prior to commencement of the project.
• Expert programming skills.
• A detailed system analysis prior to commencement of the project.

Keeping accurate documentation with regards to the development of a software project is especially important in the

• rapid application development approach.
• prototyping approach.
• end user approach.

With regards to the structured approach, the relative timing allocated to each step of the project would form part of which stage of development?

• Planning and designing.
• Implementing.
• Testing and evaluating.
• Defining and understanding the
