System Design Ch 3

__________ allows a CASE tool to read existing program code and transform that code into a representative system model that can be edited and refined by the systems analyst. - answer-Reverse Engineering __________ are integrated software development tools that provide all the facilities necessary to develop new application software with maximum speed and quality. - answer-Application Development Environment (ADE) or Integrated Development Environment (IDE) ________________ is the ongoing maintenance of a system after it has been placed into operation. - answer-Systems support ____________requires the systems analyst to draw system models either from scratch or from templates. The resulting models are then automatically transformed into program code. - answer-Forward Engineering ________techniques emphasize the drawing of models to help visualize and analyze problems, define business requirements, and design information systems. - answer-Model-driven development 81. Which of the following accurately identifies the categories of problems represented by the PIECES framework? A) Performance, information, economics, control, efficiency, and service B) Performance, information, economics, cost, efficiency and security C) Performance, information, efficiency, costs, effectiveness, and services D) Performance, information, economy, control, efficiency, and security E) People, information, economy, costs, efficiency, and service - answer-A) Performance, information, economics, control, efficiency, and service A steering committee is comprised of system owners and IT managers who determine which requests and projects get approved and scheduled. - answer-T A(n) ______ is a set of activities, methods, best practices, deliverables, and automated tools that stakeholders use to develop and maintain information systems and software. - answer-systems development process A(n) _____________________________ is a system developers' database. It is a place where developers can store models, detailed descriptions and specifications and other parts of systems development. Synonyms include dictionary and encyclopedia. - answer-CASE repository Activities that overlap many or all phases of the methodology are called - answer-cross life cycle activities FAST is a leading commercial methodology. - answer-F Rationale: FAST is not a real-world commercial methodology. Object-oriented analysis and design is an object-centered, data-sensitive technique used to model business requirements in terms of objects and entities using entity relationship diagrams to prototype an information system. - answer-F Object-oriented analysis and design attempts to merge the data and process concerns into singular constructs called objects. A system is documented in terms of its objects and their interactions. Information engineering is a data-centered but process-sensitive technique used to model business requirements and design systems that fulfill those requirements. Information engineering emphasizes a modeling tool called entity relationship diagrams Process management involves the scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling a project to develop an information system - answer-F Project management involves the scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and
