Answer: b.False
Feedback:Computer software is divided into two categories: system
software and application software.
2. The operating system provides services such as a user interface, file
and database access, and interfaces to communications systems.
a. True
b. False
Answer:a.True
Feedback: Operating system is the interface between the user and the
computer hardware.
3. The first step in system development is to create a source program.
a. True
b. False
Answer: b.False
Feedback: The first phase in system development is system requirements
phase.
,4. The programmer design tool used to design the whole program is the
flowchart.
a. True
b. False
Answer: b.False
Feedback: Flowchart is a tool to represent the flow of data through a program
and how it is processed.
5. Blackboẋ testing gets its name from the concept that the program is
being tested without knowing how it works.
a. True
False
b.
Answer:a.True
Feedback: Blackboẋ testing is a concept of testing where the test engineer
and the user perform the testing without knowing how the program is
actually built.
