When a new system is to be implemented within a short time
frame, it is MOST important to:
A. finish writing user manuals.
B. perform user acceptance testing.
C. add last-minute enhancements to functionalities.
D. ensure that code has been documented and reviewed.
Answer / guest
Answer: B
It would be most important to complete the user acceptance
testing so as to ensure that the system, which is to be
implemented is working correctly. The completion of the user
manuals is similar to the performance of code reviews. If
time is tight, the last thing one would want to do is add
another enhancement. It would be necessary to freeze the
code and complete the testing, then make any other changes
as future enhancements. It would be appropriate to have the
code documented and reviewed, but unless the acceptance
testing is completed, there is no guarantee that the system
will work correctly and meet user requirements.
