acceptance test - Answer✔✔-Testing involves the entire information system, including all typical
processing situations. During an acceptance test, users enter data, including samples of actual, or live
data, perform queries, and produce reports to simulate actual operating conditions. All processing
options and outputs are verified by users and the IT project development team to ensure that the system
functions correctly. Sometimes known as a system test.
application development - Answer✔✔-The process of constructing the programs and code modules that
are the building blocks of an information system. Application development is handled by an application
development group within a traditional IT department that is composed of systems analysts and
programmers who handle information system design, development, and implementation.
bug tracking software - Answer✔✔-System developers use defect tracking software, sometimes called
bug tracking software, to document and track program defects, code changes, and replacement code,
called patches.
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) - Answer✔✔-A model developed by SEI that integrates software and
systems development into a process improvement framework.
coding - Answer✔✔-The process of turning program logic into specific instructions that a computer
system can execute.

cohesion - Answer✔✔-A measure of a module's scope and processing characteristics. A module that
performs a single function or task has a high degree of cohesion, which is desirable.
condition - Answer✔✔-A specified action or state in a structure chart. A line with a diamond on one end
represents which of the following in a structure chart
control couple - Answer✔✔-In a structure chart, a control couple shows a message, also called a flag,
which one module sends to another. An arrow with a filled circle represents a control couple
control module - Answer✔✔-In a structure chart, a control module is a higher-level module that directs
lower-level modules, called subordinate modules.
coupling - Answer✔✔-Measures relationships and interdependence among modules. The opposite of
cohesion.
customer - Answer✔✔-Primary user of a system, service, or product.
data conversion - Answer✔✔-Existing data is loaded into the new system, transformed as needed.
Depending on the system, data conversion can be done before, during, or after the operational
environment is complete.
data couple - Answer✔✔-In a structure chart, a data couple shows data that one module passes to
another. An arrow with an empty circle represents a data couple
defect tracking software - Answer✔✔-System developers use defect tracking software, sometimes called
bug tracking software, to document and track program defects, code changes, and replacement code,
called patches.
