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.

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






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






22. 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






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






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






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






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






27. 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






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






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






30. HIPO Chart __________: extensive training/experience needed - uses top-down programming techniques - extra documentation requirements

33. Testing of an individual program module.






34. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






35. ____________ 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
