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 first procedure in a system test plan






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






3. The most common reason for the failure of an information system is _________ _________ _________






4. Flow Chart: data - input - output






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






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






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






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






9. Data Flow Diagram Shape: open ended (right) rectangle






10. OLD: The total time required for an entire systems analysis and design process to be completed will most likely be _________ _________.






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






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






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






14. Measures a module's scope and processing characteristics






15. 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






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






17. The most important skill or requirement of the analyst is good_________ skills






18. System testing is performed by ____________






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






20. Flow Chart: comment






21. 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.






22. When all non-critical changes are held until they can be implemented at the same time.






23. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






24. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






25. 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






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






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






28. Flow Chart shapes are similar to ________






29. Flow Chart: Decision/Conditional - a question or branch in the process






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






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






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






33. Dtypically the riskiest method of systems conversion






34. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. ____________ Testing - testing conducted on a complete - integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black box testing - and as such - should require no knowledge of






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






44. Integration testing is performed by ____________






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






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






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






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






49. ________________ - a document created by the systems project team that takes into account the organizational constraints and the personnel involved in using a new system.






50. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing
