2602 - Basic Information System Acquisitions Flashcards
What is the capability to collect, process and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of precise and reliable information, while exploiting or denying the ability of an adversary to do the same.
Information superiority
The best approach to manage a complex DoD software-system is with a_______________________.
multi-disciplinary Integrated Product Team (IPT)
The common development approaches include:
- Waterfall
- Spiral
- Incremental
___________is the most commonly-used indicator of software quality and impact members of the Program Management Office IPT in various ways.
Error Density
What is a method of counting or otherwise quantifying characteristics of a process or product. For example counts of lines of code or percent resource utilization
Measure:
______________is sometimes referred to as a ‘Once-Through’ or ‘Single-Step to Full Capability’ strategy.
Grand Design
What provides an organization with a set of processes that, if done by qualified persons using appropriate tools and methods, will provide a capability to do effective and efficient engineering of systems, including their software components.
Standards
What is a process improvement model with widespread name recognition that is developed by industry and government experts, divides process maturity into five levels and is based on the principles of Continuous Process Improvement
Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI)
Performance metrics are traceable to user-defined____________.
capabilities
Software Risk Unique Factors that make risk management difficult include:
- Multi-dimensionality
- Complexity Issues
- Dynamic Processes
- People Factors
_______________, is the protection of information against unauthorized access or modification.
Information Security, INFOSEC
Key among these security technologies are:
- Firewalls
- Encryption
- Anti-Virus Software
The _____________for an Information System (IS) acquisition should address IS-specific topics.
CDD
A ______________is a grouping of software that satisfies an end-use function. It is specifically designated as an SI for purposes of specification, qualification testing, interfacing or other purposes.
Software Item (SI)
Two software testing categories:
- Human-based testing
* Computer-based testing
A _________________is a supplier-produced plan that provides the foundation for all the supplier’s software testing activities.
Software Test Plan (STP)
Software quality is often measured in terms of the number of______________, present in a product.
faults, or bugs
______________________is defined as the systematic evaluation of software products and activities by an agency that is not responsible for developing the product or performing the activity being evaluated.
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)
Software development can be broken down into three general life-cycle phases. These phases are:
- Requirements Analysis & Design
- Coding
- Test & Integration
For many types of software-intensive systems, _____________________ contracting approaches are best.
Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF)
