Accepted Answer

The answer of Physical input design considerations include
...

Question 4

What is used as the basis for management to make a "go/no go" decision regarding whether to proceed from the physical design phase to the implementation and conversion phase of the systems development life cycle?

Accepted Answer

The physical systems design report is used as the basis for management to make a "go/no go" decision regarding whether to proceed from the physical design phase to the implementation and conversion phase of the systems development life cycle. This report includes details on the hardware, software, and network components of the proposed system, making it the most critical document for making a decision about implementation.

Question 5

Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

Structured programming is a programming paradigm that divides the program into well-defined segments or modules to reduce complexity and improve maintainability. It also emphasizes on the use of control structures like loops and conditional statements to control the flow of the program.

Question 6

Flowcharts,record layouts,and decision tables are all often part of

Accepted Answer

Flowcharts, record layouts, and decision tables are all forms of program documentation. They help to illustrate the program's logic and design, making it easier for programmers to understand and modify the code as needed. These documents are typically created during the coding phase of software development and are used in conjunction with code comments to provide a complete picture of the program's functionality. They are also useful for debugging and troubleshooting during the testing phase of development.

Question 7

Which of the following statements below is correct about modules of computer code created during program design?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements below is...

Question 8

Subdividing program code into small,well-defined modules is

Accepted Answer

Subdividing program code into well-defined modules is known as structured programming, which is a programming paradigm aimed at improving clarity, quality, and development time of a software system. Debugging and testing are related to identifying and fixing errors in the code, while program maintenance involves modifying, updating, and improving existing software systems.

Question 9

The first step in program design is to

Accepted Answer

Before developing a program, it is essential to determine the needs of the user. This ensures that the program meets the requirements of the user and solves their problem efficiently. Without this step, the program might not be useful, and the developers might waste their time and resources developing a program that doesn't meet the user's expectations. Therefore, determining user needs is the first step in program design.

Question 10

Which of the following controls design considerations will help ensure that all customer inquiries are answered in real-time?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following controls design considerations...

Question 11

Which of the following is a consideration during file and database design?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is a consideration...

Question 12

Describe at least four considerations during controls design.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Describe at least four considerations during controls...

Question 13

Identify the question that is not an important consideration in procedures and controls design.

Accepted Answer

The question about whether customer data are stored in alphabetical order in a master file is not an important consideration in procedures and controls design. Important considerations typically focus on the integrity, security, and availability of the system, such as ensuring payments are made to legitimate vendors, data accuracy, and system modification without affecting availability. Alphabetical storage is more about specific organizational preferences rather than a fundamental control issue.

Question 14

Which of the following control considerations will help ensure that all cash disbursements are made only to legitimate vendors?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following control considerations will...

Question 15

What of the below is the most time-consuming activity in the physical design stage of the systems development life cycle (SDLC)?

Accepted Answer

Program design is the most time-consuming activity in the physical design stage of the SDLC because it involves translating the logical design into actual programs using specific programming languages and tools. This process requires a lot of attention to detail and testing to ensure that the programs work as intended. Controls design, input design, and output design are also important activities in physical design, but they typically don't require as much time as program design.

Question 16

Yasin,a professional in information technology services,sent an e-mail to Mauqwa in the Purchasing department.The e-mail read "Mauqwa,the system just generated a stock-out report.I just wanted to give you a heads up.I'm sending it right over.Best regards,Yasin" What type of report is Yasin providing to Mauqwa?

Accepted Answer

Yasin is providing a triggered exception report, as it is generated by the system automatically in response to a stock-out event.

Question 17

At what point in the systems development life cycle does the company determine how the conceptual AIS design is to be implemented?

Accepted Answer

The physical design phase is where the company determines how the conceptual AIS design will be implemented. It is during this phase that the hardware, software, and network requirements are specified, and the necessary equipment is purchased and installed. Therefore, the company does not determine how the conceptual AIS design is to be implemented in the conceptual design, systems analysis, or implementation and conversion phases.

Question 18

________ is a process used to uncover and eliminate program errors.

Accepted Answer

Debugging is the process of identifying and removing errors in a software program. Black box testing, white box testing, and desk checking are all methods of testing software, but they do not necessarily involve the identification and removal of errors.

Question 19

Yasin,a professional in information technology services,received an e-mail from Sabri in the Sales department.The e-mail read: "Yasin,I need you to do something for me.Query sales data for the second quarter and pull out all of the invoices that include iPhones selling with a discount.I need a count and the total amount of the discount.Thanks,Sabri." What type of report is Sabri asking Yasin to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Sabri is asking for a specific analysis to be done on sales data for a particular product (iPhones sold with a discount) during a specific time period (second quarter). This fits the criteria of a special-purpose analysis report, which focuses on a specific issue or question. The report is not scheduled or triggered by an exception, and it is not a general demand for information.

Question 20

Program design

Accepted Answer

Program design encompasses all five stages of the system development life cycle, including writing computer code and debugging logic errors. Therefore, the best answer is D.
