ISYS 363 SFSU 2024 UPDATE COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS/ REAL EXAM
MOST TESTED QUESTIONS
Artificial intelligence - (correct answer) A field in which the
computer system takes on the characteristics of human intelligence
ex. Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing
Batch Processing - (correct answer) A form of data processing
whereby business transactions are accumulated over a period of time
and pared for processing as a single unit or batch
real time processing vs. Batch - (correct answer) Batch processing
requires separate programs for input, process and output. An example
is payroll and billing systems. In contrast, real time data processing
involves a continual input, process and output of data. Data must be
processed in a small time period (or near real time).
Alpha testing - (correct answer) testing an incomplete or early
version of the system
Beta testing - (correct answer) testing a complete and stable system
by end users
,Best practices (in ERP software) - (correct answer) The most efficient
and effective ways to complete a business process
Bit - (correct answer) A bit is the basic unit of information in
computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two
values: 0 or 1.
Byte - (correct answer) 8 bits that together represent a single
character of data
Bug, patch, update, upgrade (software)
- Why is software not error free - (correct answer) Always going to
be bugs even if they fix some through software updates
Business Intelligence - (correct answer) The process of gathering
enough of the right information in a timely manner and usable form
and analyzing it to have a positive impact on business strategy, tactics,
or operations
Circuit Switched network - (correct answer) A network that sets up a
circuit between the sender and receiver before any communications
can occur; this circuit is maintained for the duration of the
communication and cannot be used to support any other
communications until the circuit is released and anew connection is set
up
, Client/Server Architecture - (correct answer) an approach to
computing wherein multiple computer platforms are dedicated to
special functions, such as a database management, printing,
communication, and program execution
Cloud Computing
Software as a Service (benefits/risk) - (correct answer) - A
computing environment where software and storage are provided as an
Internet service and are accessed with a Web browser
-(SaaS)
Competitive Advantage
(Porter's five forces model) - (correct answer) A significant and
ideally long-term benefit to a company over its competition
Porter's five forces model - (correct answer) 1. Buyer power
2. supplier power
3. threat of substitute products or services
4. threat of new entrants
5. rivalry among existing competitors
Computer based info systems - (correct answer) A single set of
hardware, software databases, telecommunications, people, and
