Question 6

Discuss the systems audit and periodic evaluation activities.

Accepted Answer

The systems maintenance phase is an ongoing activity with two parts: a systems audit and a periodic evaluation. In the systems audit, the system's performance is compared to the original design specifications. This is to determine whether the new procedures are actually furthering productivity. If they are not, some redesign may be necessary. After the systems audit, the new information system is further modified, if necessary. All systems should be evaluated from time to time to determine whether they are meeting the goals and providing the service they are supposed to.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 11

How does a systems analyst gather the required data when he/she is defining a problem during the preliminary investigation phase?

Accepted Answer
