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






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






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






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






6. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. A relational database management system.






15. Used to control how data is entered.






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






17. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






20. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






21. 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.






22. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






26. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






30. The connection between data in a database.






31. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






41. 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.






42. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






47. 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.






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






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






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