Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : it-skills
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. Involves following a systematic set of rules to check for anomilies or deviations in data structure - which ensures fields are in the correct tables.






2. The manual checking of data to ensure that it is correct and/or reasonable via means such as proofreading a document - checking for spelling - grammer and punctuation.






3. Applied to fields in databases. Examples include: Text and Boolean.






4. Involves testing the overall solution after it has been completed.






5. Used as part of the bench test of a database solution.






6. The connection between data in a database.






7. Used to direct the entry of data where there is a limited number of allowed values.






8. Determines what formatting is used for a field based on its size and type. E.g. "Fixed decimal places" & "12 or 24-hour clock."






9. A type of database that involves storing data in tables consisting of rows or columns.






10. Used to enter the name - size and data type of each field in a table.






11. A relational database management system.






12. Stores data tables that are arranged in rows and columns. Tables are linked by a common field.






13. Show the series of steps to follow in order to create a solution.






14. Allows data to be entered into a form or table only if it obeys the specified rule. If the data does not meet the criteria - a message box displays an error message with the data deleted.






15. Used in databases to filter out only those records that meet the query criteria.






16. Used to determine how the solution - or a component of a solution - would behave with a range of test data.






17. Show the series of steps to follow in order to create a solution.






18. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






19. Used to identify inputs - outputs - and the processing steps required to transform the inputs into the outputs.






20. The manual checking of data to ensure that it is correct and/or reasonable via means such as proofreading a document - checking for spelling - grammer and punctuation.






21. The use of software features such as spelling and grammar checking to verify accuracy - completeness and reasonableness.






22. Ensures that all data in a database is complete.






23. A set of commands that are run automatically.






24. Used to enter the name - size and data type of each field in a table.






25. A set of commands that are run automatically.






26. Used to determine how the solution - or a component of a solution - would behave with a range of test data.






27. Used to control how data is entered.






28. A hand-written sketch that shows the elements to be included on an input form or a report.






29. Involves testing the overall solution after it has been completed.






30. Used to control how data is entered.






31. Used as part of the bench test of a database solution.






32. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






33. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






34. Applied to fields in databases. Examples include: Text and Boolean.






35. Shows the relationship between the table and fields in a relational database.






36. The connection between data in a database.






37. Used with databases and include entity-relationship diagrams - data structure diagrams - data structure tables - flowcharts - IPO charts and layout diagrams.






38. The use of software features such as spelling and grammar checking to verify accuracy - completeness and reasonableness.






39. A type of database that involves storing data in tables consisting of rows or columns.






40. A set of information about one entity. E.g. a person - event or object.






41. Stores data tables that are arranged in rows and columns. Tables are linked by a common field.






42. Used in databases to filter out only those records that meet the query criteria.






43. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






44. Performed by the solution developer to ensure that the components and functions are operating correctly.






45. A hand-written sketch that shows the elements to be included on an input form or a report.






46. Determines what formatting is used for a field based on its size and type. E.g. "Fixed decimal places" & "12 or 24-hour clock."






47. A relational database management system.






48. Shows the relationship between the table and fields in a relational database.






49. Contains the same type of data for a series of records.






50. Involves following a systematic set of rules to check for anomilies or deviations in data structure - which ensures fields are in the correct tables.
