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 defined start and end point in a quality assurance program.






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






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






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






5. A statement that can execute a section of code multiple times.






6. The more generic - overarching class of a group of classes.






7. 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.






8. A list of instructions that are required to accomplish a task.






9. Errors in the syntax of a computer program.






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






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






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






13. An object that holds multiple variables. An index can be used to access the variables.






14. An objects sense of direction.






15. Boolean operators (AND - OR and NOT).






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






17. Notes that help other programmers understand what the code in your program does.






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






19. A process to identify and remove repetitive programming statements from a main program - and put them into their own procedure.






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






21. A sequence of actions that simulate movement.






22. When an object unintentionally overlaps with another.






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






24. 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.






25. Describes the class's properties.






26. More specific types of a class.






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






28. All objects have which two characteristics?






29. An object's sense of direction.






30. An object of the class.






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






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






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






34. A systematic process for determining user expectations.






35. 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.






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






37. A loop that causes the code to keep executing. The code does not stop because the end to the code isn't established.






38. Symbols that can be used to combine multiple boolean expressions into one boolean expression.






39. An error or break in a software program.






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






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






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






43. Notes that help other programmers understand what your program does.






44. 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.






45. A type of item stored in an array - such as a string or integer - accessed using an index.






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






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






48. Applying the same test case to many parts of a software program.






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






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