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






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






3. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






9. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






12. 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.






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






14. A set of commands that are run automatically.






15. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. The connection between data in a database.






31. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






43. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






46. A relational database management system.






47. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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