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






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






3. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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.






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






15. A relational database management system.






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






17. The connection between data in a database.






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






19. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






30. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






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. A set of commands that are run automatically.






47. Used to control how data is entered.






48. 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.






49. A set of commands that are run automatically.






50. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.
