1 With respect to physical systems design, which of the following statements is false?

		a) Companies and developers that do not spend sufficient time on conceptual and physical design can run into problems later in the SDLC.
		b) Determining the nature, format, content, and timing of reports, documents, and screen displays is the objective of output design.
		c) In physical design, user-oriented requirements of conceptual design are translated into detailed specifications used to code and test the computer program.
		d) Once users have specified their needs, software designers are easily able to tailor output to meet those specified needs.

With respect to output design, which of the following statements is false?

		a) Paper-based output is always designed first, as it is the most difficult to prepare and it can be easily adapted to computer-based output.
		b) Tailoring output to user needs requires cooperation between users and designers.
		c) If an output design is unacceptable, it is modified and reviewed again as many times as necessary to make it acceptable.
		d) To avoid expensive time delays later in the SDLC, many organizations require users to sign a document stating that the output form and content are acceptable.
		e) Designers often prepare sample outputs and ask users to evaluate whether they are complete, relevant, and useful.

The text states that output usually fits into four categories. Which of the following is not one of those categories?

		a) Scheduled reports with a pre-specified content and format, prepared on a regular schedule
		b) Special-purpose analysis reports with no pre-specified content or format, not prepared on a regular schedule.
		c) Information control reports with no pre-specified content or format, prepared frequently and confidentially on a regular schedule
		d) Triggered exception reports with a pre-specified content and format, prepared only in response to abnormal conditions
		e) Demand reports with a pre-specified content and format, prepared only on request

4 Computer input screens are most effective when certain procedures are followed. Which of the following is not a best practice for input screen design?

		a) Minimize data input by retrieving as much data as possible from the system.
		b) Place as much data, or as many menu options, on a screen as possible to enhance user efficiency.
		c) Enter data in the same order as displayed on paper forms that capture the data.
		d) Logically group related data together and organize data so that the user can complete the screen from left to right and top to bottom.
		e) Organize the screen so that data can be entered quickly, accurately, and completely.

5 With respect to procedures and control design, which of the following statements is false?

		a) Controls must be built into a system to ensure its effectiveness, efficiency, and accuracy, and to detect and correct errors when they occur.
		b) Those who interact with an information system need procedures that answer the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions related to IS activities.
		c) Since the software developers created the system, they are usually the only ones qualified to document all the system procedures.
		d) Procedures documentation and training may take the form of system manuals, user instruction classes, training materials, or online help screens.
		e) The adage garbage in, garbage out emphasizes that improperly controlled input, processing, and data storage functions produce unreliable information.
