Q

Which of the following best describes the importance of logic modeling and physical modeling in the SDLC?

Physical modeling provides end-users with diagrams of how the system will work so the developer can ensure it will meet their needs.

Logic modeling demonstrates to end-users how the system will work and on which devices it will run.

Physical modeling provides designers with the opportunity to alter the system design prior to implementation, which is more cost effective.

Logic modeling enables designers to determine if they have accurately identified all of the hardware requirements for a successful implementation.

Alpha

Beta

User Acceptance

A

Beta

49
Q

Alpha, beta, and user acceptance testing occurs during which step?

50
Q

The old system is “turned off” and the new system is “turned on” at a specific date and time. After the conversion, the old system is no longer available to end users.

A

Direct Conversion

51
Q

There is a period of time in which both systems (the old and the new) are operating concurrently. This is done so that the output of the new system can be compared with the output of the old system. Once it is confirmed that everything is working as expected, the old system is shut down and the new system continues to operate.

A

Parallel Conversion

52
Q

This involves starting the conversion with a portion of the end users, for instance in a specific geographic region or a department in an organization. The team can roll this out using either the direct approach, or the parallel approach. Once the pilot program is confirmed to be operating according to plan, the system is deployed on a larger scale.

A

Pilot Conversion

53
Q

The team deploys a subset of the system first, rather than deploying the whole system at once. The old system continues to offer some functionality until all subsets of the new system have been turned on and the new system is confirmed to be working effectively.

A

Phased Conversion

54
Q

What occurs during system deployment?

System conversion

Implementation

Modeling

A

System conversion

System conversion, final documentation, and end-user training occurs during deployment.

55
Q

Which conversion turns the old system off and the new system on at a specific date and time?
