MCQs on Programming Development Cycle

What is the correct sequence of the Programming Development Cycle?

• Testing → Implementation → Design → Maintenance → Analysis → Coding

• Analysis → Design → Coding → Testing → Implementation → Maintenance

• Coding → Design → Analysis → Implementation → Testing → Maintenance

• Analysis → Coding → Testing → Design → Implementation → Maintenance

What is the purpose of the "Analysis" stage in the programming development cycle?

• To write the actual code for the program

• To identify and analyze the problem that needs to be solved

• To test the program for errors and bugs

• To deploy the program to end-users

Which stage of the programming development cycle involves writing the source code?

• Design

• Coding

• Testing

• Implementation

What is the main objective of the "Design" phase in the development cycle?

• Writing the final code

• Creating a step-by-step solution using algorithms and flowcharts

• Installing the software on user computers

• Debugging and fixing errors in the program

Which step involves checking for errors and ensuring the program functions correctly?

• Implementation

• Coding

• Testing

• Maintenance

What is the role of the "Implementation" phase?

• Fixing errors in the program

• Installing and deploying the software for use

• Writing the program's source code

• Documenting the program for future reference

Why is "Maintenance" an important phase in the development cycle?

• It helps in creating a new program from scratch

• It allows for updates, bug fixes, and improvements after the software is deployed

• It ensures the program is written correctly before testing

• It replaces the need for documentation

Which of the following is NOT a part of the programming development cycle?

• Debugging

• Algorithm Design

• Marketing

• Implementation

What happens if errors are found in the "Testing" phase?

• The errors are ignored, and the program is implemented

• The errors are identified and corrected before proceeding

• The program is completely rewritten from scratch

• The program is directly implemented with known errors

Which method is commonly used to design an algorithm during the development cycle?

• Flowchart

• Debugging

• Compilation

• Execution
