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.

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






17. 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






18. Integration testing is performed by ____________






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






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






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






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

29. Integration testing is also called ____________ testing






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






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






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






33. ____________ 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
