Chapter 12 Information System
Welcome to this quiz, where we’ll be taking a look at the important topic of information systems – a study of systems with a particular focus on information and the complementary hardware and software networks used to collect, filter, process, create and distribute data. What can you tell us?
Questions and Answers
- 1.
Which one is not a guideline for system development
- A.
Group activities or tasks into phases
- B.
Involve Users
- C.
Take Notes
- D.
Define Standards
Correct Answer
C. Take NotesExplanation
Taking notes is not a guideline for system development because it is not directly related to the process of developing a system. While it may be helpful for individuals to take notes during meetings or discussions, it is not a specific guideline that should be followed throughout the entire system development process. The other options - grouping activities into phases, involving users, and defining standards - are all important guidelines that contribute to the successful development of a system.Rate this question:

Name a phase in the system of development
Correct Answer
Planning
Analysis
Design
Impliment
Operation,Support and SecurityExplanation
The given options represent different phases in the system development life cycle. Planning is the initial phase where goals and requirements are defined. Analysis involves gathering and understanding the user's needs and current system. Design is the phase where the system's architecture and components are planned. Implementation refers to the actual development and coding of the system. Operation, support, and security involve the maintenance, troubleshooting, and protection of the system once it is deployed. Therefore, the correct answer is a combination of all these phases.Rate this question:

What are you trying to maintain while you are delivering and acceptable system to the users in an agree-upon time frame?
- A.
Costs
- B.
Time
- C.
Love
- D.
Shoes
Correct Answer
A. CostsExplanation
When delivering a system to users within an agreed-upon time frame, it is important to maintain costs. This means ensuring that the project stays within the allocated budget and does not exceed the financial resources available. By effectively managing costs, the organization can ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and that the project's financial objectives are met.Rate this question:

Which answer does data and information gathereing techniques not include?
- A.
Reports
- B.
Money
- C.
Diagrams
- D.
Programs
- E.
Other deloverables generated during system development
Correct Answer
B. MoneyExplanation
Data and information gathering techniques do not include money because money is not a technique used to gather data or information. Data and information gathering techniques refer to methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis that are used to collect and gather relevant data and information for a specific purpose or project. Money is not a technique but rather a resource that may be required for implementing or supporting the data and information gathering process.Rate this question:

What should you do during documentation?
- A.
Nothing at all
- B.
Get money
- C.
Keep project on schedule, evaluate feasibility and be sure they system meets requirements
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. Keep project on schedule, evaluate feasibility and be sure they system meets requirementsExplanation
During documentation, it is important to keep the project on schedule, evaluate feasibility, and ensure that the system meets requirements. This involves managing the timeline and progress of the project, assessing whether the proposed solution is practical and achievable, and verifying that the system being documented aligns with the specified requirements. By doing so, the documentation process can effectively support the successful completion of the project.Rate this question:

Name one type of feasability
Correct Answer
operational
schedule
technical
economicExplanation
The given answer includes four types of feasibility, namely operational, schedule, technical, and economic. Feasibility refers to the assessment of whether a project or idea is possible or practical to implement. Operational feasibility examines whether the project aligns with the current operations and processes of an organization. Schedule feasibility evaluates whether the project can be completed within the given timeframe. Technical feasibility assesses whether the necessary technology and resources are available to implement the project. Lastly, economic feasibility considers whether the project is financially viable and will generate a positive return on investment.Rate this question:

During a planning phase you should review and
Correct Answer
approve the project requestExplanation
During the planning phase of a project, it is crucial to review and approve the project request. This step ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and have a clear understanding of the project's objectives, scope, and deliverables. By reviewing and approving the project request, the project team can validate its feasibility, identify any potential risks or challenges, and establish a solid foundation for the project's execution. This approval also signifies the commitment and support of key decision-makers, which is essential for the project's success.Rate this question:

Name the two steps of the analysis phase
- A.
conduct investigation, perform detailed analysis
- B.
Search, find, conclude
- C.
Search, and analyze
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. conduct investigation, perform detailed analysisExplanation
The correct answer is "conduct investigation, perform detailed analysis." During the analysis phase, the first step is to conduct an investigation to gather information and data related to the problem or situation at hand. This involves collecting relevant data, conducting interviews, and researching the issue. The second step is to perform a detailed analysis of the collected information. This includes examining the data, identifying patterns or trends, and drawing conclusions based on the analysis. These two steps are crucial in understanding the problem and developing effective solutions.Rate this question:

Name another type of feasability
Correct Answer
operationalExplanation
Operational feasibility is the ability of a proposed project or system to be implemented and integrated smoothly into the existing operations and processes of an organization. It assesses whether the project can be effectively executed and maintained within the available resources, skills, and infrastructure. This includes evaluating factors such as technical compatibility, resource availability, organizational readiness, and potential impact on day-to-day operations. Operational feasibility ensures that the project is practical and achievable from an operational standpoint, considering the specific requirements and constraints of the organization.Rate this question:
- 13.
Name another type of feasability
Correct Answer
operationalExplanation
Operational feasibility refers to the ability of a proposed project or system to be implemented and function effectively within the existing operational environment. It considers factors such as the availability of resources, technical capabilities, and the impact on existing processes and workflows. In this context, operational feasibility is being suggested as another type of feasibility, implying that there are other types of feasibility that can be considered when evaluating a project or system.Rate this question:
