Modern Systems Analysis Design, 7e (Hoffer) Chapter 14 Maintaining Information Systems 1) Today more programmers work on maintenance activities than work on new development. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 490 2) Overcoming internal processing errors and providing better support for changing business needs are two reasons why systems are maintained. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 490 3) Maintenance activities are limited to software changes. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 Page Ref: 490 4) The decision to either maintain a system or replace it is often an issue of economics. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 490 5) Implementation is the last phase of the systems development life cycle. Answer: FALSE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 491 6) Transforming requests into changes is a major maintenance activity. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 491 7) Installation is one of the four major maintenance activities. Answer: FALSE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 491 8) Obtaining maintenance requests, transforming requests into changes, designing changes and implementing changes are the four major maintenance activities. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Page Ref: 491 9) Many similarities exist between the SDLC and the activities within the maintenance process. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Page Ref: 492 10) The planning SDLC phase is analogous to the maintenance process of transforming requests into changes. Answer: FALSE Diff: 3 Page Ref: 492-493 11) The systems analysis SDLC phase is analogous to the maintenance process of obtaining maintenance requests. Answer: FALSE Diff: 3 Page Ref: 493 12) The systems design SDLC phase is analogous to the maintenance process of designing changes. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Page Ref: 493 13) The systems implementation SDLC phase is analogous to the maintenance process of implementing changes.
