Q

This refer to electronic or printed information produced by the system.

A

Output

21
Q

This refers to the logical rules that are applied to transform the data into meaningful information.

A

Performance

22
Q

This refers to hardware, software, and procedural controls that safeguard and
protect the system and its data from internal or external threats.

A

Security

23
Q

This shows the steps that make up a business process, along with who’s responsible for each step.

Q

What are the 3 types of flowchart?

A

Document, system, program

30
Q

This type of flowchart illustrates the flow of documents and information between areas of responsibility within an organization.
It is particularly useful in analyzing the adequacy of
control procedures.

32
Q

This flowchart describes the specific logic to perform a process shown on a systems flowchart.

A

Program flowchart

33
Q

These are statements that
describe what the system should do or possess to meet the needs of its users and stakeholders.

A

System requirements

34
Q

What are the two types of system requirements?

A

Functional and non-functional requirements

35
Q

These requirements describe what the system does.

A

Functional requirements

36
Q

These requirements define the qualities that describe how the system should perform. It answers the question, “how well does the system perform?”

A

Non-functional requirements

37
Q

This stage is the making of the physical design of the system that will meet the
specifications described in the system requirements document. It include
output and user interface design, data design, and system architecture.

A

Design

38
Q

This is the method by which a prototype is developed. It involves a repetitive sequence of
analysis, design, modeling, and testing. It is a common technique that can be used to design
anything from a new home to a computer network.

A

Prototyping

39
Q

This produces a full-featured, working model of the information system.
Because the model is “on track” for implementation, it is especially important to obtain
user feedback, and to be sure that the prototype meets all requirements of users and
management.

A

System prototyping

40
Q

This is the method of development that employs
technical mechanisms for reducing risk in a project, when the project needs are vaguely
and poorly laid out. The end product of design prototyping is a user-approved model that
documents and benchmarks the features of the finished system.

A

Design prototyping

41
Q

This is a functioning system but it is less efficient than a fully developed system.

A

Prototype

42
Q

This describes how users interact with a computer system, and consists of all the hardware,
software, screens, menus, functions, output, and features that affect two-way communications
between the user and the computer.

A

User interface

43
Q

This uses visual objects and techniques that allow users to communicate
effectively with the system.

A

Graphical User Interface

44
Q

This allows users to send commands to the system.

A

Process-control system

45
Q

This is how users communicate with the information system, and how the system supports the firm’s business operations.

A

User-centered systems

46
Q

This describes the relationship between computers and people who use them to perform their jobs

A

Human-Computer Interaction

47
Q

This phase begins once the client has tested and approved the system.
The system is installed at this phase to support the specified business functions. The performance
of the system is compared to the performance targets defined during the planning phase.

A

Systems Implementation

48
Q

This is a continuous operation that includes eliminating
program and design flaws, updating documentation and test data, and updating user support.

A

Systems Maintenance
