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






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






3. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






4. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






7. A relational database management system.






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






9. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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






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






14. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Used to control how data is entered.






23. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






24. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






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






32. 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.






33. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






37. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






40. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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. 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.
