    • Executing tests for creating an account

    Correct Answer
    A. Establishing the database
    Explanation
    Establishing the database is an activity and not a task because it involves creating and setting up the database system, which is a larger and more complex process compared to the other options. It requires planning, designing, and implementing the structure of the database, as well as configuring it to meet the specific requirements. In contrast, the other options involve specific actions or steps that can be considered as individual tasks within a larger project or activity.

    Please choose the linear process model from the list:

    • Each phase happens sequentially, and then loops back to the beginning when all of the phases are complete

    • Each phase happens in parallel with other phases until the product is done, with no repetition between or within phases.

    • Each phase happens sequentially, and never loops or repeats

    • Each phase can be repeated until the product is complete

    Correct Answer
    A. Each phase happens sequentially, and never loops or repeats
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that each phase happens sequentially and never loops or repeats. This means that each phase in the process model is completed one after the other in a linear fashion, without any repetition or looping back to previous phases. This approach ensures that each phase is completed before moving on to the next, allowing for a clear and organized progression of the project.

    Two weeks later, Kyle and the development meet with the client to show her a prototype. The prototype was exactly what the client asked for, but was pretty difficult to use. The development team wasn’t very satisfied with their work. What did Kyle do that resulted in this situation?

    • Asked the client about the goal of the product

    • Based the requirements solely on what the client suggested

    • Had the client prioritize the requirements

    • Provided the client with a prototype after 2 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. Based the requirements solely on what the client suggested
    Explanation
    Kyle's mistake was that he based the requirements solely on what the client suggested. Instead of thoroughly analyzing and understanding the client's needs and goals for the product, he simply relied on the client's suggestions. This led to a prototype that may have met the client's requests, but was difficult to use and did not fully satisfy the development team.
