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. Used to control how data is entered.






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






3. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






6. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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






11. 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.






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






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






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






15. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






17. A set of commands that are run automatically.






18. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






35. The connection between data in a database.






36. A relational database management system.






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






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






39. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






50. 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.
