Which of the following phases of SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) takes a lot of effort to make the system user's perspective?

  1. Analysis phase

  2. Design phase

  3. Implementation phase

  4. Maintenance phase

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Almost 75% effort are based on the maintenance of the software.

Feasible study includes _____ in SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).

  1. cost effectiveness

  2. budget of the project

  3. business scope

  4. All of the above

  5. Only (1) and (2)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes , all determine the feasibility factors.

Which of the following is not a type of feasibility in SDLC (System Development Life Cycle)?

  1. Operational Feasibility

  2. Economic Feasibility

  3. Schedule Feasibility

  4. Legal Feasibility

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, all of the above are the type of feasibility in SDLC.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are false?

  1. Data Flow Diagram shows the data transfer between the entities in the system.

  2. A DFD shows a lower level view of the system.

  3. DFD is made by a software analyst of designer.

  4. DFD shows the functionality of the system.

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is a false statement as a DFD shows a higher level view of a system as it shows the actual transfer of the data in the system whereas a flow chart shows a lower level view of the system as it shows only the data transfer activities in the system and not the transfer of the data.
