In analysis, what is an input?

• Information a user puts into a program.
• Information a user gets out of a program.
• Information displayed by a program.
• Data put out of a program.

In analysis, what is an output?

• Information displayed by a program.
• Information entered into a program.
• Information a user puts into a program.
• Data put into a program.

In analysis, what is a process?

• What a program does to its inputs to get the right outputs.
• A calculation a program makes.
• An operation carried out by a program. Examples include addition or concatenation.
• All of the above.

Why do we identify the inputs, outputs and processes for a program specification?

• To identify the functional requirements.
• To waste time.
• Because it is fun.
• So that we can make sure our program is secure.

What are the three main tasks to identify in functional analysis?

• inputs, outputs and processes
• inputs, outputs and messages
• inputs, calculations and processes.
• data, information and messages

What do we call the data a user puts in to a program?

• outputs
• strings
• messages
• inputs

What do we call the information a user gets out of a program?

• outputs
• strings
• messages
• inputs

What do we call the data a program displays?

• outputs
• strings
• processes
• inputs

What do we call the information a program asks for?

• outputs
• processes
• messages
• inputs

What do we call what a program does to its data?

• outputs
• processes
• messages
• inputs
