C Correct answer
Explanation

This phase in Rapid Application Development (RAD) model is a continuous interactive process that allows users to understand, modify and eventually approve a working model of the system that meets their needs.

Multiple choice

"Operators simply load new programs, as necessary, to produce different products" describes

  1. automated guided vehicles

  2. flexible manufacturing systems

  3. vision systems

  4. process control

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

FMS allows operators to load different part programs to produce various products on the same line. This program-changing capability is the core advantage of flexible manufacturing. AGVs move materials, vision systems inspect quality, and process control monitors parameters.

Multiple choice

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) includes manufacturing systems that have

  1. computer-aided design, a flexible manufacturing system, inventory control, warehousing and shipping integrated

  2. transaction processing, management information systems and decision support systems integrated

  3. automated guided vehicles, robots and process control

  4. robots, automated guided vehicles and transfer equipment

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

CIM integrates computer-aided design with manufacturing systems like FMS, plus inventory control, warehousing and shipping. This creates a seamless digital thread from design to delivery. Option B describes MIS software, C and D list only hardware components without the integration aspect.

Multiple choice

Computer-integrated manufacturing is largely an automated manufacturing management of integration of functions such as

  1. CAD/CAM, robotics, material handling, etc.

  2. CAD/CAM, Robotics automated material handling and many other production functions

  3. extended functions of FMS manufacturing technology

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

CIM integrates CAD/CAM for design and manufacturing, robotics for automation, and automated material handling systems. This comprehensive integration across all production functions is the essence of CIM. Option A is incomplete, C is too narrow.

Multiple choice

In which of the following stages of software design does the designer write an informal design description before creating formal documentation?

  1. Study and understand the problem

  2. Describe each abstraction used in the solution

  3. Identify gross features of at least one possible solution

  4. Component design

  5. Algorithm design
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This stage in software design is the one in which before creating formal documentation the designer writes an informal design description.

Multiple choice

___________ term describes the overall strategy for integration and is divided into phases and builds that address specific functional and behavioral characteristics of the software.

  1. Verification

  2. Validation

  3. Test plan

  4. Test management tools

  5. Acceptance testing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

This term describes the overall strategy for integration and is divided into phases. It builds an address specific functional and behavioral characteristics of the software.

Multiple choice

  1. Grammatical analysis

  2. Tangible entities

  3. Behavioral approach

  4. Scenario-based analysis

  5. Inheritance
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This proposal to identify objects in object-oriented design is the one in which each scenario is analysed and the team responsible for the analysis must identify the required objects.
