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






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






4. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






5. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. A relational database management system.






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






31. 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.






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






33. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






35. 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.






36. A relational database management system.






37. The connection between data in a database.






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






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. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






42. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






43. 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.






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






45. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






48. Used to control how data is entered.






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.
