In the testing phase of the system development life cycle, testing at the lab facility, where the system was developed is known as:
- A.
Alpha testing
- B.
Beta testing
- C.
Gamma testing
- D.
Delta testing
Correct Answer
A. Alpha testingExplanation
alpha testing is when individuals test their own product. It requires that the end users ensure the acceptability of the system by conducting scenarios in the test region. Alpha testing is testing before the product is introduced to outsiders. Beta testing is when other people test the creator's system.Rate this question:

What are Use case diagrams?
- A.
Diagrams that conduct a series of interviews, surveys and observations.
- B.
Diagrams that targets moderate change to the organization's operations.
- C.

- A.
A super user
- B.
An end user
- C.
A project champion
- D.
A help desk operator
Correct Answer
A. A super userExplanation
A superuser is a regular user of the system who has in-depth knowledge of the information system. An end-user- is a user of the system who are clinicians, nurses, physicians.

When implementing the new system while still using the legacy system, the orgnization is practicing:
- A.
Phased Implementation
- B.
Big bang Implementation
- C.
Parallel system Implementation
- D.
Pilot rollout Implementation
Correct Answer
C. Parallel system ImplementationExplanation
Implementation strategies include: Phased, which is a roll out from 1 department at a time. Big-bang, which is the whole organization implementing the system all at once. Pilot is when the system is tested out on a pilot unit first. Parallel system implementation is when a new system is rolled while still using the old/legacy system.Rate this question:
