Question 10

Compared with traditional methods, when properly used, joint application development (JAD) can result in _____.
A)less expense and greater manageability if the group is too large
B)a more accurate statement of system requirements
C)a better understanding of common goals
D)a stronger commitment to the success of the new system

Accepted Answer

Joint application development (JAD) involves bringing together end-users and developers to define and design a new system. This process often leads to a better understanding of common goals, a more accurate statement of system requirements, and a stronger commitment to the success of the new system. While JAD may require more expense and effort initially, when properly used, it can ultimately result in a more manageable and successful project outcome. Therefore, options B, C, and D are the best choices.

Accepted Answer

The systems analyst should record information as soon as it is obtained, ensure that findings are understandable by someone else, and organize documentation so that related material can be easily located. These practices help to ensure that accurate and thorough documentation is maintained. Using the most complex recording method possible would not be necessary and could actually hinder the documentation process.

Question 18

Jerry has found one system requirement that he thinks could fit into a couple of different categories. The requirement is as follows: An employee record must be added, changed, or deleted only by a member of the human resources department. What is the best categorization of this requirement?
