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






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






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






4. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






5. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






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






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






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






16. 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.






17. Used to control how data is entered.






18. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






21. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






31. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






34. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






35. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






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






40. 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.






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






42. Used to control how data is entered.






43. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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