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. Dtypically the riskiest method of systems conversion






2. Integration testing is performed by ____________






3. Flow Chart: comment






4. Contains all the information needed for processing and distributing online and printed output






5. 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






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






7. Flow Chart: Represents start or stop/end. Pill shape (sometimes circle - oval - cigar or rounded rectangle)






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






9. The first step in solving a problem with a computer






10. __________________: written materials that accompany the system process






11. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






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






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






14. Measures a module's scope and processing characteristics






15. ____________ Testing: Another name for integration testing






16. A flowchart represents an _____________ or process.






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






18. ____________ 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






19. Type of Chart: uses flow lines and process blocks






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






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






22. 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.






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






24. In a program flowchart - a _________ ________ serves to fetch initial data item for processing






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






27. _________ Chart advantages: designs programs in testable models - creation of hierarchy of detail as design progresses - clear indication of necessary inputs and outputs






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






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






30. System testing is performed by ____________






31. Testing of an individual program module.






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






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






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






35. ____________ 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.






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






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






38. Which analysis and design tool used by the computer system analyst shows the levels and subdivisions of a computer system? _________ _________






39. __________ - analyst compares the expenses against the advantages of a system






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






41. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






42. 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






43. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






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






45. _________ are the most reliable means of obtaining information about an existing system






46. The process of examining a program design and reviewing the logic of a program with test data






47. Flow Chart: data - input - output






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






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






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