QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS DETAILED
RATIONALES GRADED A+
ICT2622 – Object-Oriented Analysis (UNISA)
Questions 1–50: Information Systems & SDLC
1. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of the systems development life
cycle (SDLC) in information systems development?
A. To eliminate the need for user involvement in system design
B. To provide a structured framework for planning, creating, testing, and deploying information
systems
C. To replace all manual processes with automated systems
D. To ensure that all systems are developed using the waterfall methodology
Answer: B. Rationale: The SDLC provides a structured framework for planning, creating, testing,
and deploying information systems, ensuring that development is systematic and meets
organisational needs.
2. A systems analyst is describing the components of an information system and must identify
which of the following is NOT a component of an information system?
A. Software
B. Hardware
C. Database
D. Marketing strategy

,Page 2 of 77
Answer: D. Rationale: An information system consists of software, hardware, database, and
manual processes; marketing strategy is a business function, not a component of an information
system.
3. Which of the following best describes agile development in the context of information
systems?
A. A rigid, sequential development process that cannot accommodate change
B. A philosophy and set of guidelines for developing information systems in an unknown, rapidly
changing environment
C. A methodology that requires all requirements to be defined before development begins
D. A process that eliminates the need for user feedback
Answer: B. Rationale: Agile development is a philosophy and set of guidelines for developing
information systems in an unknown, rapidly changing environment, emphasising flexibility and
regular adaptation to changing circumstances.
4. A systems analyst is listing the activities involved in systems analysis and must identify the
correct sequence, so which of the following correctly represents the order of systems analysis
activities?
A. Define requirements, gather detailed information, prioritize requirements, evaluate
requirements with users, develop user-interface dialogs
B. Gather detailed information, define requirements, prioritize requirements, develop user-
interface dialogs, evaluate requirements with users
C. Prioritize requirements, gather detailed information, define requirements, develop user-
interface dialogs, evaluate requirements with users
D. Develop user-interface dialogs, gather detailed information, define requirements, prioritize
requirements, evaluate requirements with users
Answer: B. Rationale: The correct sequence is: gather detailed information, define
requirements, prioritize requirements, develop user-interface dialogs, and evaluate
requirements with users.

5. A systems analyst is interviewing users to understand their needs and must identify which
activity involves watching users perform their jobs to gather information, so which of the
following correctly describes this activity?
A. Defining requirements
B. Gathering detailed information
C. Prioritizing requirements
D. Evaluating requirements with users
Answer: B. Rationale: Gathering detailed information involves interviewing or watching users
perform their jobs to understand their needs and the current system.
6. Which of the following best describes the purpose of defining requirements in systems
analysis?
A. To determine which requirements are most crucial for the system
B. To use acquired information to define what the new system must do
C. To develop user interfaces via abstract models
D. To thank participants for their involvement
Answer: B. Rationale: Defining requirements involves using the information acquired during
gathering to define what the new system must accomplish.
7. A systems analyst is working on prioritizing requirements and must determine which
requirements are most crucial, so which of the following activities does this represent?
A. Gathering detailed information
B. Defining requirements
C. Prioritizing requirements
D. Developing user-interface dialogs
Answer: C. Rationale: Prioritizing requirements involves establishing which requirements are
the most crucial for the system, ensuring that essential features are developed first.
8. Which of the following best describes the concept of a "problem domain" in systems
analysis?

, Page 4 of 77
A. The technical infrastructure of the organisation
B. The specific area of the user's business need that is within the scope of the new system
C. The hardware and software used by the organisation
D. The marketing strategy of the organisation
Answer: B. Rationale: The problem domain is the specific area of the user's business need that
is within the scope of the new system.
9. A systems analyst is identifying stakeholders for a new system and must differentiate
between internal and external stakeholders, so which of the following correctly describes
internal stakeholders?
A. Those outside the organisation's control and influence
B. Those within the organisation who interact with the system
C. Those who regularly interact with the system in the course of their jobs
D. Those who never interact with the system
Answer: B. Rationale: Internal stakeholders are those within the organisation who interact with
the system.
10. A systems analyst is identifying stakeholders and must describe operational stakeholders,
so which of the following correctly describes operational stakeholders?
A. Those outside the organisation's control and influence
B. Those within the organisation who interact with the system
C. Those who regularly interact with the system in the course of their jobs or lives
D. Those who only use the system occasionally
Answer: C. Rationale: Operational stakeholders are those who regularly interact with the system
in the course of their jobs or lives.
11. Which of the following best describes a textual model in systems analysis?
A. A model that uses pictures to represent requirements
B. A text-based model such as memos or reports
C. A model that describes requirements numerically
