What are the main phases of the System Life Cycle?

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Research, Design, Evaluation

• Concept, Development, Support

• Planning, Execution, Review

List three common requirements gathering techniques.

• Focus groups

• Brainstorming sessions

• Interviews, questionnaires, observations

• User testing

What is the purpose of a feasibility study in the system life cycle?

• To assess the technical requirements of the project.

• To outline the project timeline and milestones.

• To determine the budget for the project.

• To evaluate the viability and potential success of a proposed project.

Explain the role of a Systems Analyst in the development process.

• The role of a Systems Analyst in the development process is to gather requirements, design system specifications, and ensure effective communication between stakeholders and the technical team.

• A Systems Analyst is responsible for coding and debugging software applications.

• A Systems Analyst manages the project budget and timelines exclusively.

• The Systems Analyst primarily focuses on hardware installation and maintenance.

What are the key activities involved in the design phase

Explain the importance of documentation in the system life cycle.

• Documentation is only necessary for software developers.

• Documentation slows down the system development process.

• Documentation is irrelevant once the system is deployed.

• Documentation is essential for effective communication, maintenance, compliance, and risk management throughout the system life cycle.
