question

Diagrams that depict the system's object structure and show object classes that the system is composed of, as well as the relationships between those object classes are known as:

answer

class diagrams

question

In a class diagram a multiplicity of zero or more would be designated by:

answer

0..*

question

answer

~identify, define and document-new actors and new use cases ~identify any reuse possibilities ~refine the use case model diagram.

question

The data associated with an object are called:

answer

attributes.

question

In an activity diagram you would combine flows that were previously seperated by decision using a(n):

answer

join

question

Which of the following can be shown in the system sequence diagram:

answer

~A receiver actor ~loops ~object classes ~system outputs =/= no optional steps

question

What defines how many instances of one object class can be associated with one instance of another object class?

answer

multiplicity

question

If an object class outlives the execution of the program it is said to be:

answer

persistent

question

Which of the following is NOT a technique for assessing economic feasibility?

answer

=/= All are true ~time value of money ~payback analysis ~return on investment ~net present value

question

An entity is in third normal form if:

answer

values of nonprimary key attributes are not dependent on any other non primary key attributes.

question

Which tool provides a ranking system of candidate systems?

answer

feasability analysis matrix

question

What is an advantage of prototyping?

answer

~Prototypes are active, not passive, model that end-users can see, touch, feel, and experience ~Prototyping can increase creativity because it allows for quicker user feedback, which can lead to better solutions ~Prototyping accelerates several phases of the life cycle ~Iteration and change are a natural consequence of systems development. Prototyping better fits this matural situation because it assumes that a prototype evolves

question

Which emphasizes the drawing of pictorial system models to document the technical or implementation aspects of a new system?

answer

model-driven designs

question

What is the purpose of the procurement and decision analysis phase?

answer

~Identify and research specific products that could support our recommended solution for the target IS ~Solicit, evaluate, and rank vendor proposals. ~Reverse engineer and draw system models for each of the vendor's proposals. ~Contract with the awarded vendor to obtain product

question

What is NOT a type of Class Relationship in an Object Oriented System model?

answer

Heirarchy

question

A motorist stops at the self-service gas station to fill up her car, paying by credit card at the pump. In this use case, who is the primary business actor?

answer

the motorist

question

What is NOT a factor used in the use case ranking and priority matrix?

answer

potential to decrease costs

question

What is the criteria for making a good data model?

answer

~A good data model is simple ~A good data model is essentially nonredundant ~A good data model should be flexible and adaptable to future needs ~Each data attribute should describe at most one entity.

question

A constraint on the state of the system before the use case can be executed is called a(n):

answer

precondition

question

List 3 properties of Object Oriented Systems:

answer

~Encapsulation ~Inheritance ~Polymorphism

question

Define/Explain Cohesion:

answer

The degree to which the attributes and behaviors of a single class are related to each other. A module that accomplishes one activity only.

question

Define/Explain Coupling:

answer

The degree to which one class is connected to or relies on other classes. Modules that is minimally dependent on one another.

question

Define Encapsulation:

answer

the packaging of several items together into one unit.

question

Define Inheritance:

answer

Concept of methods and/or attributes defined in an object class can be inherited or reused by another object class.

question

Define Polymorphism:

answer

The concept that different objects can respond to the same message in different ways.
