MIS System Development Life Cycle 2

Question 1

What is a prototype in SDLC?

Accepted Answer

An early working model of a system used to gather user feedback

Answer

A prototype is a preliminary working model of a system built to demonstrate functionality and gather user feedback before full development begins.

Question 2

In the context of SDLC, what is unit testing?

Accepted Answer

Testing individual components or modules in isolation

Answer

Unit testing involves testing individual software components or functions in isolation to verify each unit works correctly before integration.

Question 3

Which SDLC phase converts system requirements into detailed technical specifications?

Accepted Answer

Systems design

Answer

The systems design phase translates business requirements from analysis into detailed technical specifications including architecture, data models, and interface designs.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a data flow diagram (DFD) in SDLC?

Accepted Answer

To graphically represent how data flows through a system

Answer

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) graphically depicts how data moves through a system, showing processes, data stores, and external entities.

Question 5

The Spiral SDLC model is best known for incorporating:

Accepted Answer

Risk analysis and iterative refinement

Answer

The Spiral model combines iterative development with systematic risk analysis at each cycle, making it suitable for large, complex, high-risk projects.
