_____________1.) Is a technical-sounding term for what is fairly simple concept? When used in business
context, it refers to the process of ensuring the right items are in the right place at the right time.
_____________2.) An evaluation and analysis of the potential of the proposed project which is based on
extensive investigation and research to support the process of decision making.
_____________3.) Specifications are converted to a hierarchy of charts that define the data required and the
processes to be carried out on the data so that they can be expressed as instructions of a computer program.
______________4.) Is a collection of interrelated components (subsystems) that function together to achieve
some outcome (e.g. biological system, computer system, social system)?
_____________5.) This type of feasibility concentrates on the financial aspects of cost benefits analysis
and tries to ensure that the startup cost and recurring expenses are justifiable.
_____________6.) Analysis plus System Concept plus Models are combined into the ________________.
_____________7.) He/She Studies the problems and needs of an organization looking for improvement
and opportunities.
_____________8.) What phase under the lifecycle which answers the following:
who, what, when, where will the system be?
_____________9.) Determines whether the proposed system conflicts with legal requirements, e.g. a data
processing system must comply with the local Data Protection Acts.
_____________10.) Is a collection of interrelated components that collect, process, store and provide as
output the information needed to complete business tasks (e.g. payroll system).
_____________11.) Type of Information System which capture and record information about the
transactions that affect the organization (e.g. the sale of an item, a withdrawal from an ATM etc.).
_____________12.) It is the process of understanding and specifying in detail what the information
system should do.
_____________13.) One of the software attribute which has the ability to maintain correctness and
harmony among all related pieces of data.
_____________14.) In a Generic System Model, the separation between a system and its environment
(where inputs and outputs cross) is termed ___________________________.
_____________15.) Basically, it is the larger unit comprises smaller units. For example a university has
different branches like Arts, science, computers, math’s etc., each of these branches can be observed as a
smaller unit which functions independently.
_____________16.) One of the software attribute which has the ability to be accessible from a multitude
of devices and for a number of different types of users.
_____________17.) Type of Information System which support human decision making and allows users
to explore the potential impact of available options or decisions (e.g. can ask “what if”)?
_____________18.) Type of feasibility which examines the broader issues relating to the people at large.
Though not directly operating the software from the significant class of end-beneficiaries.
_____________19.) Type of Information System which take the information captured by the transaction
processing system and produce reports management needs for planning and controlling business .f
____________20.) Typically, the smaller units comprising a system are called __________ or __________.
