a 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒓-𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 activity - CORRECT ANSWERS - What kind of activity is
designing forms and reports
a 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 approach - CORRECT ANSWERS - Designing forms and
reports typically follows what kind of approach
𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒓 and 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒐𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 by collecting initial requirements
during requirements determination. - CORRECT ANSWERS - To begin, you
must 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 gain an understanding of the
a 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒓-𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 design - CORRECT ANSWERS - What kind of design
approach does designing forms and reports follow
A design approach that involves an 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕
𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆, their tasks and goals, information needs, experience levels, and so
on - CORRECT ANSWERS - *User-centered design*
the "𝒘𝒉𝒐, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆, and 𝒉𝒐𝒘" related to the creation of all forms
or reports - CORRECT ANSWERS - During this process, several questions
must be answered including
• 𝑾𝒉𝒐 will use the form or report?
• 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 is the purpose of the form or report?
• 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 is the report needed or used?
• 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 does the form or report need to be delivered and used?
, • 𝑯𝒐𝒘 many people need to use or view the form or report? - CORRECT
ANSWERS - The five 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 when designing forms and
reports:
structure and refine this information into an 𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆. - CORRECT
ANSWERS - After collecting the initial requirements, you would then
requirements - CORRECT ANSWERS - The initial prototype is designed from
𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 the design or 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔. - CORRECT ANSWERS - Users
review prototype design and either
the design is 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅. - CORRECT ANSWERS - If changes are requested,
the construction evaluation-refinement cycle is repeated until
𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 and 𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒆 the prototype - CORRECT ANSWERS - Finally, you
ask users to
𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒍𝒚 in order to gain the 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒔 from this design approach -
CORRECT ANSWERS - As with any prototyping process, you should make
sure that these iterations occur
𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 in system operating environments and the evolution of
𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒔. - CORRECT ANSWERS - Although 𝒄𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈
𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔 are still used, their importance has diminished due to
𝒕𝒆𝒙𝒕-𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 forms and reports for mainframe applications - CORRECT
ANSWERS - A coding sheet is an "old" tool for designing forms and reports,
usually associated with
