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






2. A relational database management system.






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






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






5. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






8. A set of commands that are run automatically.






9. 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.






10. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






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






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






25. 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.






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






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






28. Used to control how data is entered.






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






30. A set of commands that are run automatically.






31. A relational database management system.






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






33. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






36. 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.






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






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






39. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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