Your NewTech interview seemed to go well, but you did not get the job. During the meeting, the interviewer mentioned that NewTech uses structured analysis and relies heavily on modeling, prototyping, and CASE tools. Thinking back, you realize that you did not fully understand those terms. As you prepare for an interview with Rainbow’s End, a large retail chain, you decide to review some IT terms and concepts. You want to be ready for the following questions:
1. What are the main differences between structured analysis, O-O, and agile development methods? Which method do you think is best, and why?
2. What is a CASE tool and why is it important? What are two CASE tool examples?
3. What is business process modeling and how is it done?
4. What is prototyping and why is it important? What industries are likely to use prototyping?
