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.

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






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

13. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






14. ____________ 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.






15. 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






16. Flow Chart: comment






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






18. Integration testing is performed by ____________






19. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. The process of examining a program design and reviewing the logic of a program with test data






33. ____________ 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






34. A complete computer system will consist of people - _________ - hardware - software and data.






35. Flow chart: ____________ represents an event which occurs automatically. Such an event will trigger a subsequent action - for example 'receive telephone call' - or describe a new state of affairs






36. System testing is performed by ____________






37. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






39. Flow Chart: data - input - output






40. ____________ 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






41. Testing of an individual program module.






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






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






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






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
