Question 1

As part of the bidding process required for bidding on providing a new software system to Kinect Incorporated,Thorton Wilder prepared diagrams that represent input and output screenshots.These diagrams are an example of
A)CASE.
B)an operational prototype.
C)a RFP.
D)a nonoperational prototype.

Accepted Answer

Diagrams representing input and output screenshots, which do not function but illustrate the design or concept, are examples of a nonoperational prototype. They are meant to show how the system will look or operate without having the actual functionality implemented.

Question 2

A guiding philosophy and a set of principles for developing information systems in an unknown,rapidly changing environment is called
A)agile development.
B)scrum methodology.
C)scrum development.
D)user stories.

Accepted Answer

Agile development is a guiding philosophy and set of principles that emphasize flexibility, collaboration, rapid feedback and continuous improvement to develop information systems in an unknown, rapidly changing environment. Scrum methodology and development are specific frameworks for implementing agile principles. User stories are a technique for eliciting and documenting requirements in agile development.

Question 3

As part of the bidding process required for bidding on providing a new software system to Kinect Incorporated,Thorton Wilder prepared a functional program that simulated the new system's input and output interface.This program is an example of
A)CASE.
B)an operational prototype.
C)a RFP.
D)a nonoperational prototype.

Accepted Answer

Thorton Wilder's functional program that simulated the new system's input and output interface is an example of an operational prototype, as it provides a working model of the system's interface. A nonoperational prototype would be a model that does not actually work. A CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tool is a software application used by software developers to automate the process of developing software. A RFP (Request for Proposal) is a document used in the bidding process to solicit proposals from potential vendors or suppliers.

Question 4

A software development methodology designed to produce higher-quality software more productively by taking the beneficial elements and best practices of traditional software development to "extreme" levels is called
A)extreme prototyping.
B)extreme development.
C)extreme processing.
D)extreme programming.

Accepted Answer

Extreme Programming (XP) is a software development methodology that emphasizes frequent feedback, continuous testing and integration, close collaboration between developers and customers, and simple, functional design. It takes traditional software development practices such as pair programming, unit testing, and continuous integration to new extremes to improve software quality and productivity.

Question 5

A software development methodology where a team works together in an intense but relatively short iterative and incremental scrum process to reach a common development goal,with team members meeting daily in face-to-face communication,until development is concluded is called
A)agile development.
B)scrum methodology.
C)scrum development.
D)user stories.

Accepted Answer

The specific methodology described is the scrum methodology, which is a type of agile development. The other options are either too broad (agile development) or too specific (user stories) to accurately describe the methodology.

Question 6

Many systems development projects requirements do not change because users often have a good understanding of all the things they want the software to do.

Accepted Answer

This statement is not true. Requirements are subject to change as users' needs and the business environment evolve. It is important for software development teams to have a process in place for managing and adapting to changing requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

Question 7

Which of the following is an advantage of CASE?
A)It exhibits a high degree of cross-system compatibility.
B)It is an inexpensive technology that is accessible to small businesses.
C)Documentation is generated automatically.
D)It enhances the congruence between user expectations and the final system.

Accepted Answer

CASE automatically generates documentation, reducing the amount of manual effort required by developers and improving the accuracy and consistency of documentation. Option A is a benefit of standards-based technologies, while option B is not necessarily true as many CASE tools can be quite expensive. Option D is a subjective advantage that may or may not be true depending on the specific system and project.

Question 8

Describe the important characteristics of extreme programming (XP).

Accepted Answer

The answer of Describe the important characteristics of extreme programming...

Question 9

Which is not a problem with CASE technology?
A)cost
B)incompatibility
C)lack of system documentation
D)unmet expectations

Accepted Answer

CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) technology is designed to help in the creation of software, improving both the efficiency and quality of software development. One of its benefits is that it aids in the generation of system documentation, thus, lack of system documentation is not a problem associated with CASE technology.

Question 10

Describe computer-aided software (or systems)engineering (CASE)and identify the advantages and disadvantages of CASE?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Describe computer-aided software (or systems)engineering (CASE)and identify...

Question 11

A description of something a user wants to include in the system written by the product owner is called
A)agile development.
B)scrum methodology.
C)scrum development.
D)user stories.

Accepted Answer

User stories are brief descriptions of a feature or functionality from the perspective of the user. These are typically written by the product owner in agile development and scrum methodology to communicate the intended outcome to the development team. Therefore, user stories are the most appropriate answer to the question.

Question 12

A process that embraces customers frequently changing their minds about what they need or want and with the focus on flexibility,responding to new requirements,adapting to evolving changes in technology,and quickly delivering a system the customer can evaluate is called
A)agile development.
B)scrum methodology.
C)scrum development.
D)user stories.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A process that embraces customers frequently changing...

Question 13

Which of the following were CASE tools not designed to do?
A)replace skilled designers
B)plan, analyze, design, program, and maintain an information system
C)automate important aspects of the software development process
D)enhance the efforts of managers in understanding information needs

Accepted Answer

CASE tools were not designed to replace skilled designers, but rather to enhance their efforts in designing and developing information systems.

Question 14

Prototyping is often appropriate when
A)there is a low level of uncertainty.
B)it is clear which questions need to be addressed.
C)there is a high likelihood of failure.
D)there are limited financial resources available.

The answer of Prototyping is often appropriate when
A)there is a...

Question 17

The four phases of the unified process software development framework are
A)inception, transition, construction, and elaboration.
B)inception, transition, elaboration, and construction.
C)inception, construction, elaboration, and transition.
D)inception, elaboration, construction, and transition.

Accepted Answer

The Unified Process is an iterative and incremental software development process framework. The correct sequence of phases is: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. This order reflects the progression from initial idea and project scoping (Inception), through detailed planning and architectural design (Elaboration), building the product (Construction), to transitioning the system into the user community (Transition).
