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. Flow Chart: data - input - output






2. Program testing is carried out by computer _________






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






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






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






6. ________________ is an output of the systems audit






7. 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.






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






9. Data Flow Diagram: Circles will have numbers and ____________






10. System testing is performed by ____________






11. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. _________ The first procedure in a system test plan






25. ____________ - 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






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






27. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






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






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






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






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






32. 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






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






34. Data Flow Diagram: each circle is identified by a ___________






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






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






37. __________________: written materials that accompany the system process






38. 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






39. Process of tracking system releases - or versions






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. ____________ 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
