Test Bank For Modern Systems Analysis and Design, 9e Chapter 1 The Systems Development Environment 19) Who is a systems analyst and what are the duties of a systems analyst? Answer: Many people in organizations are responsible for systems analysis and design; in most organizations the systems analyst has the primary responsibility. When you begin your career in systems development, you will most likely begin as a systems analyst or as a programmer with some systems analysis responsibilities. The primary role of a systems analyst is to study the problems and needs of an organization in order to determine how people, methods, and information technology can best be combined to bring about improvements in the organization. A systems analyst helps system users and other business managers define their requirements for new or enhanced information services. As such, a systems analyst is an agent of change and innovation. Difficulty: Moderate AACSB: Information Technology L.O.: 1.1 Define information systems analysis and design Classification: Synthesis 20) What is an application software and its importance? Answer: An important (but not the only) result of systems analysis and design is application software, software designed to support a specific organizational function or process, such as inventory management, payroll, or market analysis. In addition to application software, the total information system includes the hardware and systems software on which the application software runs, documentation and training materials, the specific job roles associated with the overall system, controls, and the people who use the software along with their work methods. Difficulty: Easy AACSB: Information Technology L.O.: 1.1 Define information systems analysis and design Classification: Synthesis 21) What is meant by system methodologies, techniques, and tools? Answer: Methodologies are comprehensive, multiple-step approaches to systems development. Techniques are particular processes that you follow to help ensure that your work is complete, well done, and understood by others. Tools are typically computer programs that make it easier to use and benefit from techniques and to follow faithfully the guidelines of the overall development methodology. The techniques and tools should support the chosen methodology. Methodologies, techniques, and tools work together to form an organizational approach to systems analysis and design. Difficulty: Easy AACSB: Information Technology L.O.: 1.1 Define information systems analysis and design Classification: Synthesis 22) What is a system development methodology? Answer: Most organizations find it beneficial to use a standard set of steps, called a systems development methodology, to develop and support their information systems. Like many processes, the development of information systems often follows a life cycle. For example, a commercial product follows a life cycle in that it is created, tested, and introduced to the market. Its sales increase, peak, and decline. Finally, the product is removed from the market and replaced by something else. Difficulty: Easy AACSB: Information Technology
