CBIS 3210 Test 1 Question and Answers 100% Correct 2023/2024 Information Systems Analysis and Design - Correct Answer The process of developing and maintaining an information system Application Software - Correct Answer Software designed to process data and support users in an organization. Examples include spreadsheets, word processors, and database management systems.System - Correct Answer A group of interrelated procedures used for a business function, with an identifiable boundary, working together for some purpose Component - Correct Answer An irreducible part or aggregation of parts that makes up a system; also called a subsystem Interrelated - Correct Answer Dependence of one part of the system on one or more other system parts Boundary - Correct Answer The line that marks the inside and outside of a system and that sets off the system from its environment Purpose - Correct Answer The overall goal or function of a system Environment - Correct Answer Everything external to a system that interacts with the system Interface - Correct Answer Point of contact where a system meets its environment or where subsystems meet each other Constraint - Correct Answer A limit to what a system can accomplish Decomposition - Correct Answer The process of breaking the description of a system down into small components; also known as functional decomposition Modularity - Correct Answer Dividing a system up into chunks or modules of a relatively uniform size Coupling - Correct Answer The extent to which subsystems depend on each other Cohesion - Correct Answer The extent to which a system or subsystem performs a single function Systems Analyst - Correct Answer The organizational role most responsible for the analysis and design of information systems 1 / 2
Systems Development Methodology - Correct Answer A standard process followed in an organization to conduct all the steps necessary to analyze, design, implement, and maintain information systems Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - Correct Answer The series of steps used to mark the phases of development for an information system Systems Planning and Selection - Correct Answer The first phase of the SDLC, in which an organization's total information system needs are analyzed and arranged, and in which a potential information systems project is identified and an argument for continuing or not continuing with the project is presented Systems Analysis - Correct Answer Phase of the SDLC in which the current system is studied and alternative replacement systems are proposed Systems Design - Correct Answer Phase of the SDLC in which the system chosen for development in systems analysis is first described independently of any computer platform (logical design), and is then transformed into technology specific details (physical design) from which all programming and system construction can be accomplished Systems Implementation and Operation - Correct Answer Final phase of the SDLC, in which the information system is coded, tested, and installed in the organization, and in which the information system is systematically repaired and improved Prototyping - Correct Answer Building a scaled-down version of the desired information system Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) - Correct Answer Software tools that provide automated support for some portion of the systems development process Repository - Correct Answer A centralized database that contains all diagrams, forms and report definitions, data structures, data definitions, process flows and logic, and definitions of other organizational and system components; it provides a set of mechanisms and structures to achieve seamless data-to-tool and data-to-data integration Joint Application Design (JAD) - Correct Answer A structured process in which users, managers, and analysts work together for several days in a series of intensive meetings to specify or review system requirements Rapid Application Development (RAD) - Correct Answer Systems development methodology created to radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems
