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. In most cases - a request for computer services should originate from the _________ of the requested system






2. ____________ 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.






3. Process that divides the overall objectives into subsystems and modules






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






5. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






6. Integration testing is performed by ____________






7. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






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






9. testing attempts to make a system ____________






10. Dtypically the riskiest method of systems conversion






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






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






13. Describes the degree of interdependence among modules. (loosely coupled modules are desirable as they are more independent)






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. During the design of input - the analyst establishes how to _________ _________






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






22. Measures a module's scope and processing characteristics






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






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






25. Flow Chart shapes are similar to ________






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






27. Flow Chart: data - input - output






28. 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.






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






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






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






32. Flow Chart: Connector - continues a chart to another point on the same page






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






34. ____________ 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






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






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






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






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






39. A flowchart represents an _____________ or process.






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






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






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






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






45. 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






46. Flow Chart: comment






47. ____________ - 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 parallel conversion






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






49. 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






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