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. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






21. Measures a module's scope and processing characteristics






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






23. Dtypically the riskiest method of systems conversion






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






25. The analyst may solicit hardware and software proposals from vendors. The analyst will prepare a(n) _________






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






27. A technique for representing program logic that a systems analyst can use to describe program actions.






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






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






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






31. Data flow diagram shape: open ended (right) rectangle






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






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

35. A flowchart represents an _____________ or process.






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






37. ____________ 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.






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