Question 1:    Which one of the following statements would most accurately apply to the concept of prototyping?

                         Rapidly produces an 'actual working model' of the information system needed by the user
                          Is most practical for large-scale projects
                          Emphasizes getting the design right the first time
                          Reduces the need for user involvement in systems development
 

Question 2:    Which of the following is a phase in the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC)?

                         Systems Interrogation
                          Systems Investigation
                          Systems Configuration
                          Systems Integration
 

Question 3:    A feasibility study would NOT answer which of the following questions?

                         Does the technology exist that is necessary to implement the proposed system?
                          Is the proposed system technologically, economically and operationally feasible?
                          Which type and model of computer will be used by the proposed system?
                          What impact will the proposed system have on current employees?
 

Question 4:    Determining whether reliable hardware and software required by a proposed system is available or can be acquired by the computer using organization is called

                         Cost/benefit analysis
                          Economic feasibility
                          Operational feasibility
                          Technical feasibility
 

Question 5:    What are functional requirements?

                         Software development and testing of program and procedure functioning
                          End user information requirements that are not tied to the hardware, software, network, data, and people resources
                          Functionally operative IS components
                          Design activities that produce system specifications satisfying the functional needs
 

Question 6:    In systems design, user interface design refers to the design of:

                         Programs and procedures to be used by end-users
                          Display screens, forms and reports, and interactive computer user dialogs
                          User training manuals
                          The structure of databases and files accessible by end users
 

Question 7:    The systems implementation stage of IS development involves:

                         Hardware and software acquisition.
                          Software development and testing of programs and procedures
                          Development of documentation and a variety of conversion alternatives
                          All of the above
 

Question 8:    Which one of the following is a major source of information system services in the computer industry?

                         Computer leasing companies
                          System integrators
                          Documentation consultants
                          Peripheral manufacturers
 

Question 9:    Which of the following is NOT a part of data conversion?

                         Incorporating unknown data
                          Correcting incorrect data
                          Filtering out unwanted data
                          Consolidating data from several databases
 

Question 10:   The conversion process in which both the old and the new system are operated until there is agreement to switch completely to the new system is called:

                         Pilot conversion
                          Plunge or direct cutover
                          Parallel conversion
                          Phased conversion
