System Analysis and Design

101. The main objective of feasibility study is

  1. to assess whether it is possible to meet the requirements specifications
  2. to assess if it is possible to meet the requirements specified subject to constraints of budget, human resource and hardware
  3. to assist the management in implementing the desired system
  4. to remove bottlenecks in implementing the desired system
Correct answer: (B)
to assess if it is possible to meet the requirements specified subject to constraints of budget, human resource and hardware

102. During system implementation the following are done

  1. programs are written and tested with operational data
  2. user documentation is created and users trained
  3. programmers are recruited and trained
  4. the system is tested with operational data
  1. i and iii
  2. ii and iii
  3. ii and iv
  4. i, ii & iv
Correct answer: (D)
i, ii & iv

103. The final specifications are arrived at

  1. after feasibility study
  2. during feasibility study
  3. just before implementation phase
  4. when the system is being designed
Correct answer: (A)
after feasibility study

104. To easily modify the existing system it is necessary to

  1. use good software tools
  2. use the best hardware available
  3. design the system which can be changed at low cost
  4. keep the programming team happy
Correct answer: (C)
design the system which can be changed at low cost

105. System approval criteria are specified

  1. when the final specifications are drawn up
  2. during feasibility study
  3. during the requirements specifications stage
  4. during system study stage
Correct answer: (A)
when the final specifications are drawn up

106. It is necessary to design an information system to easily accommodate change, because

  1. new computers are introduced every year
  2. new computer languages become popular every year
  3. organizations' requirements change over a period of time
  4. systems need continuous debugging
Correct answer: (C)
organizations' requirements change over a period of time

107. Information is gathered for computerization during

  1. requirements determination phase
  2. systems design phase
  3. implementation phase
  4. feasibility phase
Correct answer: (A)
requirements determination phase

108. The following are good sources of information to design a system

  1. forms and documents used in the organization
  2. users of the proposed system
  3. procedure manuals of the organization which explains how various activities of the organization are carried out
  4. annual report of the organization
  1. i, ii and iii
  2. i, ii and iv
  3. i and ii
  4. i and iii
Correct answer: (A)
i, ii and iii

109. Interviews are essential to gather

  1. quantitative information
  2. qualitative information
  3. facts and figures
  4. statistical information
Correct answer: (B)
qualitative information

110. Document Flow Diagrams are used to depict

  1. how and when documents flow in the organization
  2. various offices/entities of an organization and the documents as well as physical items which flow between these entities
  3. what documents flow in an organization
  4. how documents are generated and flow in an organization
Correct answer: (B)
various offices/entities of an organization and the documents as well as physical items which flow between these entities
