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 as part of the bench test of a database solution.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






24. 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.






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. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






29. The connection between data in a database.






30. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






31. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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






35. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






37. The connection between data in a database.






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






39. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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






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






45. 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.






46. 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.






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






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






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






50. Used to control how data is entered.
