System Analysis And Design

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.

10. Flow Chart: Connector - continues a chart to another point on the same page






11. __________________: written materials that accompany the system process






12. Flow Chart: a loop must begin with a _________






13. This happens after completing integration testing - it involves the testing of the entire information.






14. _________ makes the final decision whether or not a system will be implemented






15. The process for controlling changes in system requirements during software development.






16. Testing of two or more programs that depend on each other.






17. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






18. Describes the inputs - outputs - and processing logic for all program modules.






19. Flow Chart: Represents start or stop/end. Pill shape (sometimes circle - oval - cigar or rounded rectangle)






20. A type of questionnaire which uses very explicit questions and require a short written response is called a(n) _________ _________ questionnaire






21. Flow Chart: Decision/Conditional - a question or branch in the process

24. Flow Chart: Off-Page-Connector - continues a chart to another page






25. A technique for representing program logic that a systems analyst can use to describe program actions.






26. ____________ Testing - (sometimes called Integration and Testing - abbreviated "I&T") is the phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It occurs after unit testing and before system testing.






27. The most significant output of the systems analysis phase of the entire analysis and design process is the _________ _________ _________






28. A design approach where the system's analyst defines the overall objectives of the system - and then breaks them down into subsystems and modules.






29. __________ - analyst compares the expenses against the advantages of a system






30. Describes the system's functions and how they are implemented






31. ____________ Testing - testing conducted on a complete - integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black box testing - and as such - should require no knowledge of

33. Point where no changes can be made without impacting the schedule _________ _________






34. Flow Chart: Preparation: any process step that is a preparation such as a setup operation

36. testing attempts to make a system ____________






37. Flow Chart: data - input - output






38. A method for converting a manual system to an automated system whereby both systems are run simultaneously - whereupon the results are compared and the new system is phased in is called _________ conversion






39. The overall time between a request for system activity and the delivery of the response






40. ____________ Testing: the testing of a collection of units that have a logical relationship or flow from the user's perspective.






41. Documents the system at the end of the design phase and identifies any changes since the functional baseline.






42. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






43. _________ Type of systems conversion where various capabilities are added to the system over a number of years






44. _________ Chart advantages: designs programs in testable models - creation of hierarchy of detail as design progresses - clear indication of necessary inputs and outputs
