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






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






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






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






9. ____________ 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.






10. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






11. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






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






13. ____________ - 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






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






15. 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 _________ conversion






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






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






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






19. Flow Chart: data - input - output






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






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






22. Flow Chart: comment






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. 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






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






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






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






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






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






39. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






40. System testing is performed by ____________






41. ____________ 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






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






43. Flow Chart shapes are similar to ________






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






45. _________ accounts for the greatest expenditure involved in the cost of creating and maintaining a system.






46. 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






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






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






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






50. Flow Chart: Off-Page-Connector - continues a chart to another page
