It involves stopping the old system completely and starting the new system immediately.
What is the Direct Changeover method?
The process of moving data from one system to another.
What is data migration?
What type of user documentation does not require an internet connection?
A manual
Which changeover method is most suitable for testing a new system in a controlled environment before full deployment?
The Pilot Changeover method, where the new system is tested in a small part of the organization first.
Why is it essential to involve stakeholders in the process of gathering system requirements, and what are some methods to do so?
Involving stakeholders ensures that the system meets their needs and expectations. Methods include direct observation, interviews, surveys, and workshops.
What type of testing involves testing a system’s functionality without knowing the internal code?
Black Box testing
What is a merger?
A combination of two entities or more, especially companies, into one.
How can accessibility be improved in software design?
By implementing features such as Braille keyboards, touch screens, voice recognition, and text dictation.
What is the difference between local and remote software?
Local software runs on a user's computer and often requires a one-time fee and manual updates, while remote software (SaaS) is accessed through a web browser, requires a subscription fee, and updates automatically.
What is the potential downside of “automated testing” in software development?
It may miss usability issues and real-world user scenarios that require human intuition.
What is a "failover system"?
A failover system is a backup system that can take over if the primary system fails, ensuring continuity of service.
Which changeover method allows employees to gradually adapt to a new system?
The Phased Changeover method
Hardware/system malfunction, human error, software corruption, malicious software, and natural disasters.
What are the common causes of data loss?
What differentiates white-box testing from black-box testing?
White-box testing requires knowledge of the internal workings of the software and is conducted by programmers who test the code itself, while black-box testing involves testing the software from a user perspective without access to the internal codebase.
Why is “dynamic testing” essential, even after successful static testing
Dynamic testing validates that the software functions correctly in real-world use cases.
An old technology, computer system, or application that is no longer supported or available for purchase.
What is a legacy system?
Testing will be conducted by potential end-users outside the company after the product has been released.
What is beta testing?
What are two potential problems that can occur during data migration between two systems?
Incompatible file formats and data structure differences.
What is the primary goal of creating a prototype?
To visualize and test specific functionalities of a product early in development, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback and guide further development.
What is social issue?
Crime
Health
Education
Media & Propaganda
Poverty
Terrorism
What is "direct observation" in the context of gathering requirements?
Direct observation involves watching users interact with a system in their environment to understand their needs and how they use the system.
What is meant by 'usability' in the context of system design?
It refers to how effectively and efficiently a product can be used by its intended users.
hardware device that a computer uses to transfer information externally.
Peripheral
barrier between a trusted system or network and outside connections, such as the Internet.
What is Ergonomics?
The scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.
