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.

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






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






14. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






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

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






32. ____________ 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.
