Understanding Program Development Lifecycle

What is the primary purpose of a program development lifecycle?

• To ensure the program is developed quickly

• To ensure the program is well ordered and clearly documented

• To reduce the cost of program development

• To make the program visually appealing

Which stage of the program development lifecycle involves defining the problem clearly?

• Design

• Coding

• Analysis

• Maintenance

What is the first step in the analysis stage of the program development lifecycle?

• Coding

• Feasibility study

• Testing

• Maintenance

Which of the following is used to formally document the design stage?

• Structure charts

• Test data

• Error logs

• User manuals

In which stage is the program written using a suitable programming language?

• Analysis

• Design

• Coding

• Testing

What is the main goal of the testing stage in the program development lifecycle?

• To write the program code

• To ensure the program meets the design specifications

• To create user documentation

• To conduct a feasibility study

Which stage involves running the program with different sets of test data?

• Analysis

• Design

• Coding

• Testing

What does the maintenance stage of the program development lifecycle involve?

• Writing the initial program code

• Conducting a feasibility study

• Correcting errors and adapting to new requirements

• Creating structure charts

Why is the program development process referred to as a "lifecycle"?

• Because it is a circular process

• Because it continues until the program is no longer used

• Because it is a linear process

• Because it involves living organisms

Which of the following is NOT a stage in the program development lifecycle?

• Analysis

• Design

• Marketing

• Maintenance
