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






2. Used to control how data is entered.






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






6. 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.






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






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






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






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






11. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






13. 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.






14. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






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






26. A relational database management system.






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. A set of commands that are run automatically.






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






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






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






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. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






39. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






40. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






41. The connection between data in a database.






42. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






48. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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