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






2. 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






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






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






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






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






7. 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






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

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






13. Testing of an individual program module.






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






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






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






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






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






19. Flow Chart: comment






20. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






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






31. Integration testing is performed by ____________






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






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






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






35. Flow Chart: data - input - output






36. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






37. ____________ 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






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






39. 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.






40. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






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






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






43. Type of Chart: uses flow lines and process blocks






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






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






46. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






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






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






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






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