b. changes should be made directly to the structure diagram
c. significantly less time is required compared to maintenance activities for a system
developed without using Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools
d. the need for testing the modified application is eliminated
ANS: C

9. Which of the following is an advantage of the Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) approach?

b. the requirement that all program code and documentation be regenerated for each module
c. the cost of software engineering programs
d. user involvement is restricted to final stages of development
ANS: A

10. Which of the following is a disadvantage of the Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE)
approach?

programmer
b. alternative designs cannot be reviewed prior to implementation
c. system users are reluctant to become involved with the CASE approach
d. maintenance costs are increased
ANS: A

11. Which statement is not correct? The structured design approach

a. is a top-down approach
b. is documented by data flow diagrams and structure diagrams
c. assembles reusable modules rather than creating systems from scratch
d. starts with an abstract description of the system and redefines it to produce a more detailed
description of the system
ANS: C

12. The benefits of the object-oriented approach to systems design include all of the following except
a. this approach does not require input from accountants and auditors
b. development time is reduced
