  • 2. 

    ____________ manage the system development, assign staff, manage the budget and reporting, and ensure that deadlines are met.

    • Project managers

    • Network engineers

    • Graphic designers

    • Systems analysts

    Correct Answer
    A. Project managers
    Explanation
    Project managers are responsible for managing the entire system development process, including assigning staff to different tasks, managing the budget and reporting progress, and ensuring that all deadlines are met. They oversee the project from start to finish, coordinating with different teams and stakeholders to ensure successful completion. Network engineers, graphic designers, and systems analysts may be involved in the system development process, but it is the project manager's role to oversee and manage the overall project.

    SDLC stands for :

    • Software design life cycle

    • Software development life cycle

    • System design life cycle

    • System development life cycle

    Correct Answer
    A. Software development life cycle
    Explanation
    SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It is a systematic approach to developing software that involves a series of phases including requirements gathering, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. This process ensures that software is developed efficiently and meets the needs of users. The other options, software design life cycle, system design life cycle, and system development life cycle, are not commonly used terms in the software development field.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Enhancements, upgrades, and bug fixes are done during the ____________ step in the SDLC.

    • Maintenance and Evaluation

    • Problem/Opportunity Identification

    • Design

    • Development and Documentation

    Correct Answer
    A. Maintenance and Evaluation
    Explanation
    During the Maintenance and Evaluation step in the SDLC, enhancements, upgrades, and bug fixes are done. This step involves the ongoing support and maintenance of the software after it has been deployed. It includes activities such as identifying and fixing software defects, making improvements to the software based on user feedback, and evaluating the performance of the software to ensure it meets the desired objectives. This step is crucial for ensuring the continued functionality and effectiveness of the software.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which is not a software life cycle model?

    • Spiral Model

    • Waterfall model

    • Prototyping Model

    • Capability maturity model

    Correct Answer
    A. Capability maturity model
    Explanation
    The Capability Maturity Model is not a software life cycle model. It is a process improvement approach that focuses on optimizing and enhancing the organization's software development and management processes. Unlike the other options listed, the Capability Maturity Model does not provide a specific framework or set of phases for software development. Instead, it offers a maturity model with different levels of process improvement and organizational maturity.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Actual programming of software code is done during the ____________ step in the SDLC.

    • Maintenance and Evaluation

    • Design

    • Analysis

    • Development and Documentation

    Correct Answer
    A. Development and Documentation
    Explanation
    During the development and documentation step in the SDLC, the actual programming of software code is done. This step involves writing and testing the code to ensure that it meets the requirements and functions correctly. Documentation is also created during this step to provide information about the code, such as how it works and how to use it. This documentation is important for future reference and for the maintenance and evaluation stages of the SDLC.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The first step in the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is:

    • Analysis.

    • Design.

    • Problem/Opportunity Identification.

    • Development and Documentation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Problem/Opportunity Identification.
    Explanation
    The first step in the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is problem/opportunity identification. This step involves identifying and defining the problem or opportunity that the system is intended to address. It includes understanding the current situation, gathering requirements, and determining the goals and objectives of the system. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the rest of the SDLC process, guiding the subsequent steps of analysis, design, and development.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How many steps are in the systems development life cycle (SDLC)?

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    • 10

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5 because the systems development life cycle (SDLC) typically consists of five steps: initiation, planning, analysis, design, and implementation. These steps ensure a systematic and organized approach to developing and implementing information systems. Each step has its own set of activities and deliverables, contributing to the overall success of the development process.
