TEST 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ Parallel installation defined. Answer: Parallel installation occurs when
old and new system are implemented simultaneously, and the 2 systems
run simultaneously (i.e. paper and electronic, "old" system and "new"
system).
⩥ Which of the following is NOT a major phase in implementation and
testing?
A. Education and Training
B. Conversion and "Go Live
C. Operations and Language Barriers
D. Implementation Strategies. Answer: C. Operations and language
barriers
Rationale: Operations and Language Barriers are not a major phase in
implementation and testing.
⩥ In a formal plan for implementation and testing it is not necessary to
include:
A. Team members
,B. Vendor representatives
C. Executive Staff
D. Crisis Coaches. Answer: Crisis coaches.
Formal Plan must include: - Staff - Team members - Vendors - Executive
staff - External resources
⩥ A domain is:
A. A copy of the software system, or environment, in a particular state
B. An implementation strategy involving reiteration
C. A go-live conversion factor involving conversion discrepancies
D. A data storage device. Answer: A. A copy of the software system, or
environment, in a particular state.
Rationale: A domain is a copy of the software system, or environment, in
a particular state. For example, test system (or domain); development
system (or domain), training system and production system.
⩥ "Bugs" in computer language are not really insects, but
A. A testing methodology
B. Commentary within the code indicated with an asterisk (*)
C. Aberrancies and failures in the system
D. The nickname of the coder who designed the first EHR. Answer: c.
Abberancies
,Rationale: "Bugs" in computer language are defined as aberrancies and
failures in the system or a coding error.
⩥ System and Functional Testing:
A. Does not include security testing of databases
B. Is done in an ad hoc fashion as staff are available
C. Addresses cultural impacts of new processes
D. Includes multiple subsystems and phases of testing. Answer: D.
includes multiple subsystems and phases of testing.
Rationale: Systems are usually made up of subsystems and all must be
tested. System and Functional Testing must include security testing and
must be structured and controlled. Cultural impacts of new processes is
not an aspect of testing.
⩥ When the SDLC is done correctly:
A. All steps are done in order for all areas.
B. End users have final say on all aspects of the project.
C. There is a formal change management process throughout to address
new information as it comes to light.
D. There is only one phase of implementation.. Answer: There is a
formal change management process throughout to address new
information as it comes to light. Change management is vital to the
installation of a system. There may be several phases, particularly during
a phased approach and end-users do not have final say on all aspects of
the project and not all steps are done in order for all areas.
, ⩥ What are the pieces that require ongoing evaluation?
A. Hardware and software
B. Interfaces and integrations
C. Support
D. All of the above. Answer: d. all of the above. Ongoing evaluation is
needed on all aspects of the system - hardware, software, interfaces and
integrations (which are software), and support. Support can include
training as well as help desk operations.
⩥ Financial evaluation should:
A. Have the maximum budget finalized prior to assessment and
purchases of priority items conformed to that ceiling, which will not be
adjusted
B. Involve primarily clinicians working to design the system
C. Include both tangible and intangible costs
D. Focus on costs for stages one and two primarily. Answer: C. Include
both tangible and intangible costs
⩥ Which is NOT true about backup and recovery:
A. Use multiple backup devices
B. Perform backups on Wednesdays during peak use
C. Use full backups to minimize the time to restore databases
