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. testing attempts to make a system ____________






2. When all non-critical changes are held until they can be implemented at the same time.






3. A _________ systems conversion takes place when the old system is switched off and the new one is started up.






4. ____________ 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.






5. Flow Chart: A _________ must have two flow line coming out of it






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






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






8. ____________ 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






9. Flow Chart: comment






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






11. A method used by the analyst to document the scheduling of the completion of the project is a(n) _________ Chart






12. Testing of an individual program module.






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






14. During the design of input - the analyst establishes how to _________ _________






15. The first step in solving a problem with a computer






16. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






17. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






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






19. When initially collecting data for a systems project - it should be collected via ________________






20. Data Flow Diagram Shape: open ended (right) rectangle






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






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






23. A design that can be broken down into logical blocks - also known as partitioning - or top-down design. This approach is similar to constructing a leveled set of DFDs.






24. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






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






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






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






29. Describes the degree of interdependence among modules. (loosely coupled modules are desirable as they are more independent)






30. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






31. ____________ 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






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






33. A precise yet compact way to model complicated logic. Like if-then-else and switch-case statements - associate conditions with actions to perform. But - unlike the control structures found in traditional programming languages - they can associate man






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






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






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






37. Data Flow Diagram: in reviewing each circle - the analyst will find it yields a _______________






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






39. 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






40. Integration testing is performed by ____________






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






42. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






43. _________ accounts for the greatest expenditure involved in the cost of creating and maintaining a system.






44. System testing is performed by ____________






45. ____________ - 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






46. In a program flowchart - a _________ ________ serves to fetch initial data item for processing






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






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






49. The most common reason for the failure of an information system is _________ _________ _________






50. Type of system implementation that is used in its entirety only in one locality or area
