Modern Systems Analysis and Design,
Chapters 1-6 Study Guide with Correct
Answers
Analysis - Answer✔✔-second phase of the SDLC in which system requirements are studied and
structured. Includes requirements determination and studying the requirements and structure them
according to their interrelationships and eliminate redundancies
The output of this phase = description of the alternative solution recommended
Application software - Answer✔✔-is computer software designed to support specific organizational
functions and processes (inventory management, payroll, market analysis)
an important result of systems analysis and design
CASE tools - Answer✔✔-computer aided software engineering tools - software tools that provide
automated support for some portion of the systems development process
Design - Answer✔✔-the third phase of the SDLC in which the description of the recommended solution
is converted into logical and then physical systems specifications
Implementation - Answer✔✔-the fourth phase in the SDLC in which the information system is coded,
tested, installed, and supported in the organization.

The detailed physical specifications are handed over to programmers. Also includes: initial user support,
finalization of documentation, training programs are finalized
Information Systems Analysis and Design - Answer✔✔-complex organizational process whereby
computer based information systems are developed and maintained
Inheritance - Answer✔✔-the property that occurs when entity types or object classes are arranged in a
hierarchy and each entity type or object class assumes that attributes and methods of its ancestors.
Allows new but related classes to be derived from existing classes
Logical Design - Answer✔✔-the part of the design phase of the SDLC in which all functional features of
the system chosen for development in analysis are described independently of any computer platform
Makes sure the system functions as intended - business aspects of the system
Maintenance - Answer✔✔-the final phase in the SDLC in which an information system is systematically
repaired and improved
Make the changes that users ask for and modify the system to reflect changing business conditions
Object - Answer✔✔-usually correspond to real things an information system deals with. Is a structure
that encapsulates (or packages) attributes and methods that operate on those attributes. Is an
abstraction of a real-word thing in which data and processes are placed together to model the structure
and behavior of the real-world thing
Object class - Answer✔✔-a logical grouping of objects that have the same (or similar) attributes and
behaviors (methods)

OOAD - Answer✔✔-system development methodologies and techniques based on objects rather than
data or processes - often called the third approach to systems development, after the process - oriented
and data - oriented approaches
Physical Design - Answer✔✔-the part of the design phase of the SDLC in which the logical specifications
of the systems from logical design are transformed into technology-specific details from which all
programming and system construction can be accomplished
Planning - Answer✔✔-the first phase in the SDLC in which an organization's total information system
needs are identified, analyzed, prioritized, and arranged.
Rapid Application Development (RAD) - Answer✔✔-systems development methodology created to
radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems. Relies on extensive
user involvement, prototyping, integrated CASE tools, and code generators
System developers and end users work together jointly in real time to develop systems
Rational Unified Process (RUP) - Answer✔✔-an object oriented systems development methodology.
Establishes four phases of development: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. Each phase
is organized into a number of separate iterations
Systems analyst - Answer✔✔-The organizational role most responsible for the analysis and design of
information systems. Primary role - study the problems and needs of an organization in order to
determine how people, methods, and information technology can be best combined to bring
improvements
