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






3. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






6. A relational database management system.






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






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






9. A relational database management system.






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






11. 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.






12. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






16. A set of commands that are run automatically.






17. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






18. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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






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






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






24. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






28. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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






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






34. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






35. 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.






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






45. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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