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






2. ____________ Testing: Another name for integration testing






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






4. Flow Chart: a loop must begin with a _________






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

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






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






9. Flow Chart shapes are similar to ________






10. _________is the most commonly used tool by analysts to graphically illustrate the flow of data through a system






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






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






13. _________ Type of systems conversion where various capabilities are added to the system over a number of years






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






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






16. Data flow diagram shape: process that transforms the data in some way






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






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