Which involves the entire information system and includes all typical processing situations?
Also known as a system test. Involves the entire information systems. Includes all typical processing situations. The process of constructing the programs and code modules that are the building blocks of an information system.
In which type of testing would the users enter data perform queries and produce reports to simulate actual operating conditions?
During a system test, users enter data, including samples of actual, or live data, perform queries, and produce reports to simulate actual operating conditions.
Which element of system security ensures that authorized users have timely and reliable access to necessary information?
One of the three main elements of system security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). Availability ensures that authorized users have timely and reliable access to necessary information.
