TOPIC 6.0 | System Development Life Cycle

1. Name five (5) phases of System Development Life Cycle.

-Planning
-Analysis
-Design
-Implementation
-Maintenance
2. State four (4) major activities during the Planning Phase.
-Review and approve the project request.
-Prioritize the project request.
-Allocate resource
-Form a project development team.
3. List two (2) major activities during the Analysis Phase.
-Conduct preliminary investigation
-Perform detailed analysis
4. What are the two (2) major activities during the 3rd Phase Design?
-Acquiring necessary hardware and software.
-Detail Design
5. Explain four (4) tests performed during Implementation Phase.
-Unit test: Verifies that each individual program or object works by itself.
-System test: Verifies that all programs in an application work together properly.
-Integration test: Verifies that an application works with other applications.
-Acceptance test: Checks the new system to ensure that it works with actual data.
6. What is the emphasis during the Maintenance Phase?
-Performed maintenance activity
-Monitor system performance
-Assess system security
7. Explain four (4) different conversion strategies.
-Direct conversion: Abandoning the old and starting up the new
-Parallel conversion: Old and new systems are operated side by side until the new ones
proves to be reliable
-Phased conversion: The new system is implemented gradually over a period of time
-Pilot conversion: The new system is tried out in only one part of the organization

8. What are the three (3) general guidelines of System Development?

-Group ativities or tasks into phase.
-Involve users
-Define standards
9. Identify the phase of System Development Life Cycle for each of the following statements: -
a. Miss Linda acquires all the hardware and software needed for the development of
the student information system.

-Design
b. Mr Tony forms development team for the project.

-Planning
c. Dr Mustafa needs to conduct a study of the project in order to determine if
development system should continue.

-Analysis
10. System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) contains five phases. Refer to the DIAGRAM 1 below.

11. Determine the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phase based on the following activities.

Activities SDLC Phase

i. Writing the actual code Implementation

ii. Provide live support to end users Maintenance

iii. The thought of the idea for the project Planning

iv. Study the system and gather business Analysis

requirements.
v. Develop a storyboard Design

12. Identify the step of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for student information system
based on the activity below.

Activities SDLC Step

i. Write the C++ codes. Implementation
ii. Identify problem statements and objectives of the Maintenance
system
iii. Draw a complete flowchart Design

iv. Amend the completed system to suit the users’ Planning

needs
v. Make comparison between several current Analysis
systems to propose a new system

13. The system development life cycle (SDLC) in systems engineering, information systems and
software engineering is a process of creating or altering information systems and the models
and methodologies that people use to develop these systems.
a. Implementation phase involves training user activity. It shows user how to use the new
hardware and software in the new system.
Give one (1) advantage of Web-based training.
-Ability to link resources in many different formats
b. State two (2) conversion strategies that can be used by small companies to convert to
new system.

-Parallel conversion

-Pilot Conversion
14. The system development life cycle (SDLC) in systems engineering, information systems and
software engineering is a process of creating or altering information systems and the models
and methodologies that people use to develop these systems.

Based on the description below, state the phase of System Development Life Cycle.
DESCRIPTION PHASE
Transform detailed requirement into complete, detailed
system design document focusing on how to deliver the Design
required functionality.
Monitor system performance and assess system security. Maintenance
Develop a program if necessary, install and test new system.
Implementation
Also convert into new system.
Review the project request. Provides the basis for acquiring
Planning
the resources needed to achieve a solution.
Conduct preliminary investigation. Perform detailed analysis
activities with current system, determine user requirements Analysis
and recommend solution.

15. The system development life cycle (SDLC) in systems engineering, information systems and
software engineering, is a process of creating or altering information systems, and the models
and methodologies that people use to develop these systems.
a. The purpose of the maintenance phase is to provide ongoing assistance for an
information system and its users after the system is implemented. The Z phase
consists of three major activities. List one (1) of them.
-Monitor system perfomances
b. List two (2) major activities in the Planning Phase.
-Review and approve project request
-Allocate resources
c. One of the major activities in Y is converting to the new system. There are four (4)
conversion strategies. List two (2) of them.
-Direct Conversion
-Parallel Conversion
