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. The display of results in an organised and usable manner.






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






3. 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.






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






5. 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.






6. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






7. A relational database management system.






8. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






11. A set of commands that are run automatically.






12. Used to control how data is entered.






13. The connection between data in a database.






14. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






33. 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.






34. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






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






47. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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