Quick questions on The system development life cycle in HSC Information Processes and Technology
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are development approaches?Show answer
The waterfall approach runs the stages once, strictly in order, with each stage completed before the next begins. It is simple to manage but inflexible: a requirement missed early is expensive to fix late.
What is testing, evaluating and maintaining?Show answer
Testing checks the system works correctly against the requirements, using real and boundary data. Evaluation asks whether the finished system actually solved the original problem and met user needs. Maintenance then corrects faults found in use, adapts the system to changing needs, and improves it, often looping back into earlier stages.
