<BRAND NEW VERSION>
1. Application Software - ANSWER ✓ Programs end users run to accomplish
tasks.
2. Productivity Software - ANSWER ✓ Application software used to aid in
productivity. I.E. Presentation software, word processor, spreadsheets.
3. System Software - ANSWER ✓ Consists of programs that make up the OS
and directly support system itself.
Includes services or DAEMONS
4. Server Software - ANSWER ✓ Works with hardware to provide network
service.
5. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) - ANSWER ✓ Most commonly used
network connections. Looks just as it sounds, wires twisted together in a
pair.
6. Fiber Optic Cable - ANSWER ✓ Transmits via light pulses as opposed to
electromagnetic ones.
,7. Twisted Pair - ANSWER ✓ Network connection commonly used in the past.
It is still seen a lot today because it was used extensively in the phone
systems. Is cheap and and already in place.
transmits using electromagnetic waves.
8. Coaxial Cable - ANSWER ✓ Commonly used network connection.
Transmits using electromagnetic waves.
9. Bandwidth - ANSWER ✓ Transfer rate permissible over the media, and is
described as bps or b/s (bits per second).
Modern bandwidth is described in millions/billions bits per second (i.e.
Mbps or Gbps)
Older tech limited to thousands, (i.e. 56 Kbps)
10.Which risk assessment question is part of the Initiation Phase? - ANSWER
✓ Could the end user reject the outcome of the project?
11.Planning - ANSWER ✓ In what phase of the project does estimation occur?
12.Initiation Phase # - ANSWER ✓ Phase 1 of 4 in planning
13.Planning Phase # - ANSWER ✓ Phase 2 of 4 in planning
14.Executing & Controlling Phase # - ANSWER ✓ Phase 3 of 4 in planning
15.Closing Phase # - ANSWER ✓ Phase 4 of 4 in planning
16.Initiation key elements - ANSWER ✓ Problem definition, resource
allocation and risk assessment
17.Planning key elements - ANSWER ✓ Determine objectives and activities,
organize the activities, and estimate time and cost required to successfully
complete the project
18.Executing & Controlling key elements - ANSWER ✓ Ensuring that the
project is progressing properly and may involve hiring or training personnel,
purchase hardware, and developing, testing, and deploying a product or
service
,19.Closing key elements - ANSWER ✓ Once all deliverables are met, a project
is considered closed. May include a final report detailing the processes
strengths and successes and obstacles that were encountered
20.Why is it important to ensure that data support business goals? - ANSWER
✓ To aid in making strategic decisions
21.Data type needed to order names and numbers in a database - ANSWER ✓
String data
22.What effect does scope creep have on a project? - ANSWER ✓ In increases
unplanned costs for the project
23.Scope Creep - ANSWER ✓ Additional features are needed or could be
beneficial which can impact the allocation of resources (i.e., time and
capital), and put the project at risk
24.In which category of the DIKW hierarchy would BI be located? - ANSWER
✓ Knowledge
25.DIKW - ANSWER ✓ Describes the transition for data, information,
knowledge to wisdom
26.D in DIKW - ANSWER ✓ Data, inputs directly received by a computer
27.I in DIKW - ANSWER ✓ Information, transform data into a useful form
(using algebraic laws)
28.K in DIKW - ANSWER ✓ Knowledge, is gained experience from using
information (knowing which algebraic laws to use in a given situation)
29.W in DIKW - ANSWER ✓ Wisdom, social setting to knowledge or the
understanding of "why". Wisdom is the ultimate goal for a human in that it
improves the person's ability to function in the modern world and to make
informed decisions that take into account beliefs and values.
, 30.Which system requirement is an example of considering user needs in the
design of an information system? - ANSWER ✓ Allowing easy access to
customer account information
31.Which field must contain a unique value in order for a relational database
table to function? - ANSWER ✓ Primary key
32.N-Tier - ANSWER ✓ Indicate that the number of tiers a system will be
broken down into will vary between different software development
projects. In typical n-tier development projects, the tiers are divided between
the presentation tier, the logic tier, and the data tier
33.Presentation N-Tier - ANSWER ✓ User interface is developed
34.Logic N-Tier - ANSWER ✓ Where the system performs its logic processing
35.Data N-Tier - ANSWER ✓ Where data is stored, retrieved, and updated
from database tables
36.Benefit of separating database from application? - ANSWER ✓ Data can
change without the need to change the application, scale more easy, removes
the need for users to interact directly with data
37.How does a compiler work? - ANSWER ✓ It takes the most recent
instructions and translated them into machine language
38.What is the characteristic of high-level languages? - ANSWER ✓ Language
translator programs are required
39.What is Alpha Testing? - ANSWER ✓ It occurs where the system will be
used. During testing, system developers often assist end users as they
interact with the new system. It is common for simulated data to be used to
prevent any damage to a user's actual data.
40.What is Beta Testing? - ANSWER ✓ The tests are performed by the end
user without any assistance from the system developers. It uses actual (i.e.,
live) data in the real working environment.
