75. In the system concepts, the term integration ?
a. implies structure and order
b. refers to the manner in which each component functions with other component of the
system
c. means that part of the computer system depend on one another
d. refers to the holism of system
e. None of above
Collection From: www.cs-mcqs.blogspot.com
Answer = D
Explanation: system integration is the bringing together of the component subsystems into
one system and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system. In information
technology, systems integration is the process of linking together different computing
systems and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole

Collection From: www.cs-mcqs.blogspot.com
Answer = A
Explanation: Rapid application development (RAD) is a software development
methodology that uses minimal planning in favor of rapid prototyping. The "planning" of
software developed using RAD is interleaved with writing the software itself

a.
b.
c.
d.
Waterfall
Incremental
Spiral
None of these
Collection From: www.cs-mcqs.blogspot.com
Answer = C
Explanation: The spiral model is based on continuous refinement of key products for
requirements definition and analysis, system and software design, and implementation (the
code). At each iteration around the cycle, the products are extensions of an earlier product.
This model uses many of the same phases as the waterfall model, in essentially the same
order, separated by planning, risk assessment, and the building of prototypes and
simulations

a.
b.
c.
d.
Fast finding already done

Answer = B
Explanation: RAD model may not be useful for large, unique or highly complex
projects.This method cannot be a success if the team is not sufficiently motivated and nor is
unable to work cohesively together.
