Answer 3

False

Question 4

The two activities in data mapping are: -Mapping the inputs -Mapping the outputs

Question 5

A concept model is a separate business entity with which software entities interact.

Question 6

UML is the industry standard software design notation for modeling systems using object-oriented concepts.

Question 7

Software design is the most important phase of software development.

Question 8

Output mapping is the best way for developers to learn the business.

Question 9

Data mapping is not necessary in order to make certain the program is secure.

Question 10

Input cleansing can be defined as the process of discarding input that does not conform to what is expected.

Question 11

UML plays a minor role in designing applications.

Question 12

HTML-based CASE tools can be used to design GUI's for input and output.

Question 13

The most popular activities of static design inlcude the following: -UML -Wireframes -Prototypes

Question 14

Most CASE tools do not come with data modeling features.

Question 15

Wireframes are simple drawings or sketches of what input modules are supposed to look like.

Question 16

Prototypes are large programs with little to no business logic or supporting databases.

Question 17

At the end of a whiteboard session, it is not necessary to anything with the information that was written down.

Question 18

In the design phase you will interact with the analysts. These are a group of people you rely on to ask business questions, clarify requirements, and interface with end users.

Question 19

The dynamic design process will break software requirements into smaller modules so that the code will be easier to understand and design.

Question 20

An association is a relationship between concepts that tells the deveoper that one object interacts with another for some business reason that is not yet defined.
