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.
1. The analyst may solicit hardware and software proposals from vendors. The analyst will prepare a(n) _________






2. ____________ 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.






3. Data flow diagram shape: process that transforms the data in some way






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






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






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






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






8. Data Flow Diagram: Circles will have numbers and ____________






9. Contains all the information needed for processing and distributing online and printed output






10. When it is too expensive to convert a system's old files and applications - a _______________ systems conversion is commonly used.






11. Flow Chart: Processing steps - "process blocks" - an operation or action step






12. The configuration of the system document features and performance during the systems development process.






13. Data Flow Diagram: Circles will have data inflows and data ________________






14. Applies to centralized batch processing operations - such as customer billing or credit card statement processing. It measures the time between submitting a request for information and the fulfillment of the request






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






16. Process that divides the overall objectives into subsystems and modules






17. Which analysis and design tool used by the computer system analyst shows the levels and subdivisions of a computer system? _________ _________






18. Data Flow Diagram: each circle is identified by a ___________






19. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






20. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






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






22. A chronological listing of financial transactions is called a _________ _________






23. Measures a module's scope and processing characteristics






24. ____________ Testing - The first procedure in a system test plan - a software verification and validation method in which a programmer tests if individual units of source code are fit for use. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application. I






25. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






26. Dtypically the riskiest method of systems conversion






27. __________________: written materials that accompany the system process






28. The longest phase in the systems analysis and design process is the _______________ phase






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






30. In most cases - a request for computer services should originate from the _________ of the requested system






31. 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






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






33. _________is the most commonly used tool by analysts to graphically illustrate the flow of data through a system






34. Testing of an individual program module.






35. ____________ 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






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






37. the process that monitors current activity and performance levels - anticipates future activity - and forecasts the resources needed to provide desired levels of service.






38. Describes the system at the beginning of system operation.






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






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






41. ________________ - a document created by the systems project team that takes into account the organizational constraints and the personnel involved in using a new system.






42. ____________ - 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 parallel conversion






43. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






45. Data flow diagram shape: open ended (right) rectangle






46. Graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions with support for choice - iteration and concurrency. Extension of flowchart.






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






48. The environment that analysts and programmers use to develop and maintain programs






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






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