Introduction to Systems Analysis and
Design 115 questions fully solved
Planning, analysis, design, implementation - answer Four phases of SDLC
Deliverables - answer Specific documents and files that give understanding about the project
Planning Phase - answer The fundamental process of understanding why an information system
should be built and determining how the project team will go about building it.
The project team identifies the business value of the system, conducts a feasibility analysis, and
plans the project
Project initiation and project management - answer What are the steps of the Planning phase
Project Initiation - answer This step involves the identification of the system's business value
Can we build it? Will it provide value? Will it be used? Part of the planning phase
Project Management - answer The project manager creates a work plan, staffs the project, and
puts techniques in place to help the project team control and direct the project through the
entire SDLC
Analysis Phase - answer Answers the questions of who will use the system, what the system will
do, and where and when it will be used.
During this phase, the project team investigates any current system(s), identifies improvement
opportunities, and develops a concept for the new system
, Design phase - answer Phase that decides how the system will operate, in terms of the
hardware, software, and network infrastructure; the user interface, forms and reports; and the
specific programs, databases, and files that will be needed
Also asks who will develop the system
Implementation Phase - answer Phase during which the system is actually built (or purchased, in
the case of a packaged software design).
This is the phase that usually gets the most attention, because for most systems it is longest
and most expensive single part of the development process
Methodologies - answer Formalized approaches to implementing an SDLC
Structure design examples - answer Waterfall and parallel
Direct cutover - answer Immediate replacement of old system
Parallel conversion - answer Run both systems and see if there are bugs in new system
Phased conversion - answer System installed one phase at a time
Structured Design - answer Usually fairly formal, step-by-step approaches to systems
development. The project moves through the phases in a systematic way
RAD methodologies - answer Emphasize quick creation of a limited-capability version of the
system or a model of the system. These methodologies focus on refining this preliminary system
or model rather than trying to fully describe it on paper prior to implementation
Phased Development - answer User requirements are organized into a series of versions. The
first version includes the essential system components and is delivered to the users quickly.
