What are the 7 SDLC Phases? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > (1.) Feasibility
Study (2.) Definition of Requirements (3.) Design (4.)
Development (5.) Testing (6.) Implementation (7.) Post-
implementation phase
The Four typical Configuration Items in Configuration
Management include: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > (1.) Hardware
Complement (physical specifications) (2.) Hardware
Configuration (firmware settings) (3.) Operating system version
and configuration (4.) Software versions and configuration
What is Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)? - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > CMMI is a maturity model that represents the
aggregations of other maturity models.
The Business Process Life Cycle aids in the coordinating of
business processes using a sequence of what three events? -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > (1.) Business process creation (2.)
,Page 2 of 35
Implementation (3.) Maintenance 3a. Benchmarking: Facilitates
continuous improvement within the BPLC
What is Capability Maturity Model? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A model
that is used to measure the relative maturity of an organization
and its processes.
Application controls limit information systems access in what
three ways? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > (1.) Point of Entry (Input Controls)
(2.) During consumption (process controls) (3.) At the point of
expression (Output Controls)
What testing activities should developers perform during the
development phase - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Developers should only
be performing Unit Testing, to verify that the individual sections
of code they have written are performing properly.
The purpose of Function Point Analysis (FPA) is to: - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > FPA is used to estimate the effort required to develop a
software program.
What is the Critical Path Methodology? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A
technique that is used to identify the most critical path in a
project to understand which tasks are most likely to affect the
project schedule.
,Page 3 of 35
What is a Gantt Chart? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Gantt Charts are used
to schedule and sequence activities in a waterfall-type
representation. Planned activities are shown flowing downward
to completion. More simplistic than a PERT Diagram.
What is a PERT Diagram? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Program Evaluation
Review Technique (PERT) is used to illustrate the relationship
between planned activities. PERT diagrams show multiple routes
through the project activities, as necessary for accomplishing a
goal.
Gantt VS. PERT - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Gantt: used to display
resource details. PERT: shows the current and most up-to-date
critical path
A project manager needs to identify the tasks that are
responsible for project delays. What approach should the project
manager use? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Critical Path Methodology
helps a project manager determine which activities are on a
project's critical list.
A software developer has informed the project manager that a
portion of the application development is going to take five
additional days to complete. The project manager should do
what? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > When any signification change needs to
, Page 4 of 35
occur in a project plan, a project change request should be
created to document the reason for the change.
The 7 phases and their order in the SDLC are: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
(1.) Feasibility (2.) Requirements (3.) Design (4.) Development (5.)
Testing (6.) Implementation (7.) Post-implementation
What personnel should be involved in the requirements phase of
a software development project? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > (1.)
Developers (2.) Architects (3.) Analysts (4.) Users
The primary source for test plans in a software development
project is: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The REQUIREMENTS that are
developed for a project should be the primary source for detailed
tests.
The primary purpose for a change management process is to: -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The main purpose for change management is
to review and approve proposed changes to systems and
infrastructure. This helps to reduce the risk of unintended events
and unplanned downtime.
What is the purpose of a Capability Maturity Model? - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > A CMM helps an organization to assess the maturity of its
