Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A process to identify and remove repetitive programming statements from a main program - and put them into their own procedure.






2. A defined start and end point in a quality assurance program.






3. A technique that allows a class to use a method from another class or object. The dot between the class/object name and the method name indicates that the method comes from a different class or object.






4. The systematic process of checking to see whether a product being developed is meeting specified requirements.






5. An objects sense of direction.






6. Word at the beginning of the method that tells us what type of information a method call will return.






7. A lexical unit used to express a relation - such as equality or greater than - between two expressions.






8. The template that defines the substance of an object - such as its appearance - features - and movement.






9. Each subclass receives the methods and properties of its superclass.






10. Translates the source code into a machine code that the computer can understand. This ensures that you added the source code or class correctly before you proceed.






11. An object of the class.






12. Tell Alice3 how to implement the instructions in a program.






13. Programming that allows the programmer to manipulate objects.






14. Defines what all instances of each class are capable of doing. The behavior of each instance is determined by the source code of its class.






15. Control structure that allows you to execute specific sections of the code a number of times.






16. When an object unintentionally overlaps with another.






17. A lexical unit used to perform basic mathematical operations by taking two operands and returning the result of the mathematical calculation.






18. This control performs a process while a condition is true; otherwise it will stop the instructions.






19. A loop that will continue until a specific condition occurs; then the loop ends.






20. A piece of program code that defines how the object should execute a task.






21. A keyword that indicates that a new object is being created.






22. Control structure that allows you to select specific sections of code to be executed.






23. A set of instructions - or programmed code - for how the object should perform a task.






24. A special kind of method that is automatically executed whenever a new instance of the class is created.






25. Used to pass values to methods to specify how objects are to move - or to tell objects what type of response we expect when we ask objects a question.






26. A systematic process for determining user expectations.






27. Series of illustrated images that represent the main scenes in the animation.






28. A software tool used by computer programmers to develop software applications that includes tools for writing - editing - compiling - deploying - and debugging programs.






29. A set of conditions or variables with which a test engineer will determine if a software program is working correctly.






30. An object from a class once its created and added to the scene.






31. A sequence of actions that simulate movement.






32. A piece of code that sends a message to an object asking it to perform an action.






33. Symbols that compare two random values in a method.






34. The memory that the instance of the class has. That memory can be saved and accessed later as long as the instance exists.






35. Called a 'requirements specification' in computing - this is a story in the form of a problem to solve or task to perform.






36. More specific types of a class.






37. Answers questions about an object - such as its distance to another object.






38. This allows the programmer to adjust the object - motion - distance amount and time duration.






39. Set of operations or tasks that instances of a class can perform. When a method is invoked - it will perform the operation or task specified in the source code.






40. This control performs a process if a condition is true; otherwise it performs another process.






41. Detailed - ordered list of the actions each object performs in each scene of the animation.






42. A position number in the array object that specifies which array element to access.






43. Access - return type - name - and parameters for a method.






44. Each subclass can use (inherits) the methods from its superclass.






45. An error or break in a software program.






46. A set of data with values having predefined characteristics.






47. A technique used to command newly-created instances to perform different actions.






48. A method call instructs the instance to perform an operation ortask. You can read the method to understand what operation or task is to be performed.






49. The process of finding software bugs in a software program






50. Describes how to perform the procedure.
