A5-R3: STRUCTURED SYSTEM ANALYSIS & DESIGN

NOTE:
1. There are 2 PARTS in this Module/paper. PART 1 contains 4 ques. and PART 2 contains 4 ques..

2. PART 1 is to be answered in the TEAR-OFFANSWER SHEET only, attached to the ques. paper, as per the instructions contained therein. PART 1 is NOT to be answered in the ans book.

3. Maximum time allotted for PART 1 is 1 HOUR. ans book for PART 2 will be supplied at the table when the ans sheet for PART 1 is returned. However, candidates who complete PART 1 earlier than 1 hour, can collect the ans book for PART 2 immediately after handing over the ans sheet for PART ONE.
TOTAL TIME: three HOURS TOTAL MARKS: 100
(PART ONE-40; PART 2 – 60)

PART ONE
(Answer all the questions)

1. Each ques. beneath provide a multiple option of answers. select the most improper 1 and enter in the “tear-off” ans sheet attached to the ques. paper, subsequent instructions therein. (1 x 10)

1.1 Which statement best reflects the role of a systems analyst?
A) systems analysts focus basically on how a system works.
B) systems analysts must understand business requirements as well as tech. requirements.
C) systems analysts’ primary job is to manage projects.
D) the most common work performed by a systems analyst is programming.

1.2 Which of the subsequent is a actual statement regarding the SDLC phases?
A) The SDLC is not iterative.
B) The life cycle is always a sequentially ordered set of phases.
C) It is not possible to complete a few activities in 1 phase in parallel with those of a different phase.
D) The life cycle may be thought of as a circular process in which the end of the useful life of 1 system leads to the beginning of a different project to develop a new version of or change an existing system.

1.3 When comparing a Gantt chart to a PERT chart, which of the subsequent is a actual statement:
A) A Gantt. Chart is best used for determining the critical path.
B) PERT charts are only used for simple projects
C) PERT charts are the most common charts used in info Systems projects and show the timeline better than other charts.
D) Gantt charts are the most common charts used in info Systems projects.












1.4 A critical path refers to
A) a sequence of activities whose order and durations have no direct impact on meeting a project’s completion deadline.
B) a sequence of activities whose duration cannot last more than 40% of the time allotted to the project.
C) a sequence of activities whose order and durations directly affect the completion date of a project.
D) a sequence of activities whose order must be performed in parallel

A) System analysis
B) Physical design
