System Life Cycle

What are the phases of system development?

• Research, Prototyping, Production, Evaluation, Maintenance

• Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring, Closure

• Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Development, Execution, Review, Monitoring, Evaluation

Name two requirements gathering techniques.

• questionnaires and workshops

• interviews and surveys

• brainstorming and focus groups

• observations and prototyping

Explain the importance of system design principles.

• System design principles are irrelevant and unnecessary.

• System design principles hinder innovation and creativity.

• System design principles only focus on short-term goals.

• System design principles are important because they ensure that systems are scalable, maintainable, efficient, robust, flexible, and able to meet current and future requirements.

Discuss different implementation strategies in system development.

• Kanban

• Waterfall, Agile, Scrum, DevOps, Lean

• Waterfall

• Extreme Programming

What is the purpose of testing and evaluation in the system life cycle?

• To confuse users with unnecessary steps

• The purpose of testing and evaluation in the system life cycle is to ensure the system meets requirements, functions correctly, and is reliable.

• To delay the completion of the system

• To increase costs without adding value

How is maintenance and support crucial in the system life cycle?

• Maintenance and support are optional and not necessary for the system life cycle.

• Maintenance and support are crucial in the system life cycle to ensure the system functions properly, remains secure, and adapts to changing requirements over time.

• Maintenance and support are only needed at the beginning of the system life cycle.

• Maintenance and support only focus on adding new features, not ensuring proper functioning.

Which phase of system development involves defining the problem and planning the project?

• Execution Phase

• Design Phase

• Planning Phase

• Testing Phase

What are some common requirements gathering methods?

• focus groups

• interviews, surveys, observations, workshops, brainstorming sessions, document analysis

• surveys

• experiments

How does system design impact the overall success of a project?

• System design only affects the color scheme of the project

• System design is only relevant for small projects

• System design has no impact on project success

• System design defines the structure, components, and interactions of the system, impacting performance, scalability, maintainability, and reliability.

What are the key considerations during the implementation phase of a system?

• Thorough testing, user training, data migration, monitoring performance, and ensuring scalability.

• Skipping testing

• No user training

• Ignoring data migration
