Exam 12: Systems Analysis and Design

In this phase of the systems life cycle, the new information system is installed, and people are trained to use it.

In the preliminary investigation phase of the systems life cycle, which one of the following tasks would not be included?

A(n) _____ shows the decision rules that apply when certain conditions occur.

_____ of the system happens after the installation of software and hardware.

The _____ approach to systems implementation is used only in cases in which the cost of failure or of interrupted operation is great.

What are the four questions that must be considered when choosing the best system during the systems design phase?

The _____ conversion approach to systems implementation is considered the most risky.

A survey of user needs is part of the preliminary investigation phase.

If a firm is deciding upon the acceptance of a project with a value of $10,000, and if the client has a good credit history, the firm will most likely use the grid chart in the decision making process.

Describe how software can be acquired, if needed, during the systems development phase.

CASE tools are limited to systems analysis.

In phase 2 of the systems life cycle, the primary concern is completing a new design.

This is performed to determine whether the new procedures are actually furthering productivity.

Identify the sixth phase of the systems life cycle.

New hardware and software are acquired, developed, and tested in the systems _____ stage of the systems life cycle.

Systems designers evaluate each alternative in the systems design phase for _____ by looking at economic, technical, and operational factors.

In this activity, it is determined whether the system can be made secure against unauthorized use.

This shows the relationship between input and output documents.

Name and briefly explain the six phases of systems analysis and design.

This conversion approach is preferred when there are many people in an organization performing similar operations.
