Maximum Marks:100
Attempt all the questions. All the questions are compulsory and carry equal marks.
Section-A
Ques. 1 Explain how a computer-based information system designed to process payroll is a
specific example of a system. Be sure to account for all nine components of any
system in your explanation.
Ques. 2 List various fact finding techniques. Describe options for designing and conducting
interviews and develop a plan for conducting an interview to determine system
requirements for developing retail Point of Sale system.
Ques. 3 List and explain various phases of information Systems Development Life Cycle
(SDLC).
Ques. 4 Explain what is meant by critical path scheduling, and describe the process of creating
Gantt charts and Network diagrams. Give an example to support your answer.
Section-B
Case Study: Hospital Appointments System
A hospital runs a number of Outpatient Clinics. Patients who are referred to the hospital are given an appointment to see a particular consultant in a particular clinic. A patient might have appointments with more than one doctor in different types of clinic. The hospital has a number of Operating Theatres and each theatre is equipped to perform a number of different types of operation.
Consultants perform specific types of operation based on their area expertise. Each operation is the responsibility of one consultant. The appointments system is used for booking operations as well as outpatient’s appointments.
Case Question:
5. Identify the entities you would require to construct a database for the appointments system and show how these entities relate to each other in an entity relationship diagram.

Attempt all the questions. All the questions are compulsory and carry equal marks.
Section-A
Ques. 1 What are the strengths and weaknesses of using a Gantt chart for representing a
software project plan? When using a Network diagram? Is one method “better” than
the other?
Ques. 2 Explain four installation strategies: direct, parallel, single-location, and phased
installation. Explain why system implementation sometimes fails.
Ques. 3 Describe what you see as the difference between using objects for analysis and using
them for implementation.
Ques. 4 What do you understand by the term object-oriented paradigm as compared to object
oriented languages?
Section-B
Case Study:
Xpick is Courier Company that wants to revolutionize the courier industry by providing augmented services to its customers. A part of the initiative is to automate process and use scientific techniques for route planning. Xpick has customers that include both individual and corporate. They are located at different places making it difficult to optimize route for pickup of couriers. Further, Xpick plans to step up an online software pickup facility that would allow Xpick to scientifically plan its pickup route. Customers will be required to enter the location of their pickup of parcels in an online system. The online system would have a defined cutoff period usually around 4.30 PM. All the requests received will be stored in a database. An optimization module will then calculate the least path of travel covering all the destinations and give the detail of the path to the driver of the pickup Van. In addition for urgent pickups a SMS facility has been integrated in the online system that allows customers to SMS important couriers after 4.30 PM, if the pickup Van is in vicinity of that area.
5. Case Questions:
a) Assuming that a feasibility study needs to be conducted for such a system, describe the process of conducting a feasibility study for the same.
b) What are the various factors that you consider while conducting the feasibility study?
c) Draw the class diagrams for such a process.
d) Draw use case for this case. Identify the actors in this case.
