22. If you the end user participated on a team responsible for defining a
prototype for a proposed application, what phase in the SDLC would you be
working in?

23. What is the difference between the design phase and the analysis phase?
a) The analysis phase follows the design phase and examines the requirements
developed during the design phase
b) The design phase creates the code from the logical requirements developed
in the analysis phase
c) Analysis and design belong to the same phase and create an iterative

working properly; the implementation phase makes minor adjustments when
needed to meet new business goals
