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. A set of commands that are run automatically.






3. Used to control how data is entered.






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






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






6. A relational database management system.






7. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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






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






20. The connection between data in a database.






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






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






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






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






25. 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.






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






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






28. Used to control how data is entered.






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






30. 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.






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






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






38. Uniquely identifies each record in a database table.






39. A relational database management system.






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Shows the interrelationships between different data elements.






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






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






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






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