______ is the process of reviewing the program code to spot logic errors, which produce incorrect results.
Desk checking
What is desk checking?
Desk checking is the process of reviewing the program code to spot logic errors, which produce incorrect results. This process can be performed by the person who wrote the program or by other programmers.
What does ERD stand for? Explain the ERD.
ERD = entity-relationship diagram It is a model that shows the logical relationships and interaction among system entities. It provides an overall view of the system and a blueprint for creating the physical data structures.
_____ scrambles the contents of a file or document to protect it from unauthorized access.
Encryption

What are the system installation tasks?
Prepare a separate operational and test environment Perform system changeover Perform data conversion Provide training for users, managers, and IT staff Carry out post-implementation tasks.
Explain the risk management
In the real world, it is not realistic to achieve absolute security. Instead, managers must balance the value of the assets being protected, potential risks to the organization, and security costs
Explain integration testing
Integration testing means testing two or more programs that depend on each other. In integration testing, every component must be tested again once a new component is integrated into the whole.
What does JDBC stand for? Explain the JDBC.
JDBC = java database connectivity It enables Java applications to exchange data with any database that uses SQL statements and is JDBC-compliant.

What is social engineering?
Social engineering is the term used for a broad range of malicious activities accomplished through human interactions.
Explain and system testing. What are the major objectives in system testing?
System testing could also be referred to as system-level testing. It includes all likely processing situations, and its objective is to reassure users, developers, and managers that the program meets all specifications and that all necessary features have been included.
What is a deployment diagram? What does a node mean?
The deployment diagram is a UML tool. It is used to visualize the static aspect of the physical nodes and their relationships and to specify their details for construction. It is also a structural diagram that depicts the relationship between nodes. Node is a physical element that exists at run time and that represents a computational resource, generally having at least some memory and, oftentimes, processing capability
How the hardening makes a system secure?
The hardening process makes a system more secure by removing unnecessary accounts services and features.
Describe the difference between primary and secondary actors.
The primary actor is an actor whose goal is expressed by the name of the use case. The services that the system provides through a use case are primarily for the benefit of the primary actor. A secondary actor is the actor who supports the primary actor to reach the goal of the use case
Explain the unit testing. What is the objective in unit testing?
Unit testing is the process of testing an individual program or module. The objective is to identify and eliminate execution errors that could cause the program to terminate abnormally and logic errors that could have been missed during desk checking.
Describe what use case modeling is.
Use case modeling is a set of use cases that, when taken together, describe the behavior of a system. A use case is a unit of this model. It can also be defined as a contract between entities that have a stake in the outcome of a use case (i.e., stakeholders) and the system.

What is code review? What are the types? Explain.
it is a major tool for enforcing standards Walkthrough is less formal and essentially consists of going over the lists of questions and/or possible defects provided by the participants Inspection, on the other hand, is more formal and consists of going over code line-by-line.
What are the types of relationships in ERD. Explain shortly.
one-to-one relationship: Abbreviated 1:1. It exists when exactly one of the second entity occurs for each instance of the first entity. one-to-many relationship: Abbreviated 1:M. It exists when one occurrence of the first entity can relate to many instances of the second entity, but each instance of the second entity can associate with only one instance of the first entity. many-to-many relationship: Abbreviated M:N. It exists when one instance of the first entity can relate to many instances of the second entity, and one instance of the second entity can relate to many instances of the first entity.
