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. ____________ - 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






2. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






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






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






6. 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






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






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






9. Flow Chart: data - input - output






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






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






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






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






14. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






15. ____________ 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






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






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






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






19. Of input - output - processing - storage methods - and procedures - the one designed first by the analyst is _________






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






21. Flow Chart shapes are similar to ________






22. 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.






23. 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






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






25. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






26. _________ are the most reliable means of obtaining information about an existing system






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






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






29. ____________ 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.






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






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






32. OLD: The total time required for an entire systems analysis and design process to be completed will most likely be _________ _________.






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






34. Testing of an individual program module.






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






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






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






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






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






40. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. A flowchart represents an _____________ or process.






48. Used answer questions about specific scenarios that could potentially appear in a situation during capacity planning






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






50. Flow Chart: Always has one flow line in and one flow line out - _________ symbol
