SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
for Question 4

(a) Contrast the system development life cycle with Prototyping. [4]


(b) Explain the term evolutionary model. [1]


(c) Lobang Florist wants to install a system to track orders. When a regular
customer calls to place an order for flowers, the florist will ask for his phone
number. When the number is entered into the system, the particulars of the
customer and the date he last placed an order will be displayed on the screen.
Once the order is confirmed, the total cost, including tax and delivery charge, is
computed. A receipt is then printed. During promotions, discount coupons are
also printed so that the customer may redeem the discounts. When making
deliveries, the deliveryman will give the customer a copy of the receipt and the
discount coupons, if applicable. Weekly totals are maintained to facilitate
analysis of business performance. Draw a context diagram and a first-level data
flow diagram to illustrate the requirements of the system. [10]
