Completing a Risk Analysis. - ANSWER What is the most important consideration
before implementing a new technology?
Indemnity Clause - ANSWER What is a clause that holds providers financially liable for
violations?
Agreed upon performance metrics in the SLA - ANSWER What is the best reference for
vendor's ability to meet its SLA?
Integrated Test Facility (ITF) - ANSWER What creates a fictitious entity in the database
to process test transactions simultaneously with live input
Its advantage is that periodic testing does not require separate test processes. Careful
planning is necessary, and test data must be isolated from production data. -
ANSWER What are the advantages of an ITF?
This is undertaken by the development team to determine if the combined units of software
work together and that the software meets user requirements per specifications. A failure
here would be expensive but easier to fix than a failure found later in the testing process. -
ANSWER What is system testing and what is the impact of a test failure like at this
phase of testing?
This is the final stage before the software is installed and is available for use. The greatest
impact would occur if the software fails at the acceptance testing level because this could
result in delays and cost overruns. - ANSWER What is Acceptance testing and what is
the impact of test failure at this stage?

, This examines the units/modules as one integrated system. A failure here would be
expensive and require re-work of the modules but would not be as expensive as a problem
found just prior to implementation. - ANSWER What is Integration testing and what is
the impact of test failure at this stage?
unit testing examines the individual units or components of the software. System,
integration and unit testing are all performed by the developers at various stages of
development; the impact of failure is comparatively less for each than failure at the
acceptance testing stage. - ANSWER What is Unit testing and what is the impact of
test failure at this stage?
Interface errors are identified early - ANSWER What are the advantages of top-down
approach?
Program evaluation review technique chart - ANSWER The technique that provides
the GREATEST assistance in developing an estimate of project duration.
Ensure that a file cannot be overwritten or deleted before that date has passed. -
ANSWER What does a retention date do?
Developments may result in hardware and software incompatibility. - ANSWER What
is the greatest risk created by a reciprocal agreement?
The method of routing traffic through split cable or duplicate cable facilities -
ANSWER What is diverse routing?
This is a method of routing information via an alternate medium such as copper cable or
fiber optics. This involves the use of different networks, circuits or end points should the
normal network be unavailable. - ANSWER What is alternative routing?
