10 Questions
Which of the following statements about modularity is true?
Modularity allows dividing a system into smaller, independent components.
What is the relationship between coupling and subsystem independence?
Coupling decreases subsystem independence.
Which of the following best describes cohesion?
The extent to which a subsystem performs a single function.
What is a potential consequence of high coupling between subsystems?
If one subsystem fails, other dependent subsystems may also fail or have problems functioning.
Which of the following is true about the principles discussed in the text?
The principles apply to both general systems and information systems.
What is the primary advantage of dividing a system into modules?
It simplifies the system, making it easier to understand and modify.
Which of the following best describes coupling in the context of systems?
The degree to which subsystems are interdependent and rely on each other.
If a subsystem in a highly coupled system fails, what is the likely consequence for other subsystems?
The other subsystems may fail or have problems functioning.
Which of the following best describes cohesion in the context of systems?
The extent to which a subsystem performs a single, well-defined function.
Which principle is essential for building well-designed information systems?
Applying the same principles used for general systems to information systems.
Learn about the concepts of modularity, coupling, and cohesion in system design. Understand how dividing a system into modules, minimizing dependencies between subsystems, and ensuring strong cohesion within modules can improve system flexibility and maintainability.
