Question 2

In a(n) _____ design, one can create individual components that connect to a higher-level program or process.
A)integral
B)dissociated
C)modular
D)archetypical

Accepted Answer

A modular design allows for the creation of individual components that can be connected to a higher-level program or process, providing flexibility and scalability in the design. Integral design involves creating a single, unified system where all components are tightly integrated, while dissociated design involves separating components that are typically integrated into a single system. Archetypical design refers to designs that follow a standard or ideal model.

Question 10

_____ produces a full-featured, working model of the information system
A)Design prototyping
B)System prototyping
C)Application prototyping
D)Throwaway prototyping

Accepted Answer

System prototyping produces a full-featured, working model of the information system that can be used for testing and evaluation. Design prototyping focuses on the visual and interaction design of the system, while application prototyping is specific to developing software applications. Throwaway prototyping involves creating prototypes that are not intended to be used in the final system.

Question 15

If Siobhan has a dialog box option that is either on or off, which of the following is she most likely to use?
A)Text box
B)List box
C)Drop-down list box
D)Toggle button

Accepted Answer

A toggle button is the best choice for a dialog box option that has two possible states (on or off). It provides a clear visual indication of the current state and allows the user to easily switch between the two. Text boxes, list boxes, and drop-down list boxes are not well-suited for this type of option.

A)Exception reports
B)Summary reports
C)Detail reports
D)Control reports

Accepted Answer

Summary reports provide high-level information and totals without much supporting detail, which is exactly what Betty's manager wants to see. A is incorrect because exception reports focus on highlighting abnormalities or outliers. C is incorrect because detail reports provide a large amount of supporting detail and breakdowns. D is incorrect because control reports are used for monitoring and managing operational processes.

A)Check box
B)Text box
C)List box
D)Toggle button

Accepted Answer

A check box is the best option when Siobhan wants to allow users to select one or multiple choices from a group. The user can click on the box to select the option(s) they want. Alternatively, a list box can also be used where the user can select one or multiple options from a list displayed in the box. However, if Siobhan wants to allow users to enter their own choice, she may consider using a text box. Toggle button is not the best choice for allowing users to select multiple choices.
