Multiple choice

What happens in the heap memory when a subclass object is created?

  1. Only for the subclass object, memory will be created.

  2. Only for the superclass object, memory will be created.

  3. Memory for both superclass and subclass will be created and also that memory is referenced by super class reference variable.

  4. Memory for both superclass and subclass will be created and also that memory is referenced by subclass reference variable.

  5. None of the above

D Correct answer
Explanation

When subclass object is created memory allocated for superclass object in association with subclass object. So with the subclass reference variable it is possible to access that memory.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is a factor in the failure of a systems development project?

  1. Inadequate user involvement

  2. Size of the company

  3. Failure of systems integration

  4. Both (1) and (3)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Systems development projects often fail due to inadequate user involvement, which leads to mismatched requirements and poor adoption. Systems integration failure is another major factor, as connecting different components and technologies is complex and error-prone. Company size alone is not a direct cause of project failure.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is included in the design phase?

  1. Data, architecture and procedural designs

  2. Architecture, procedural and interface designs

  3. Data, architecture, interface and procedural designs

  4. Data, architecture and interface designs
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The design phase encompasses four key components: data design (how information is organized), architecture design (system structure and components), interface design (user and system interactions), and procedural design (algorithms and processing logic). Omitting any of these would result in an incomplete design.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is the best form of coupling?

  1. Data coupling

  2. Tight coupling

  3. Loose coupling

  4. Common coupling

  5. Content coupling
