Understanding Technical Terms and Concepts

What is the definition of 'bandwidth' in networking?

• The maximum rate of data transfer across a network path, measured in bits per second.

• The number of devices connected to a network.

• The physical distance between two network nodes.

• The total amount of data stored on a network device.

Explain the concept of 'cloud computing' and its benefits.

• Increased hardware costs

• Limited access to data

• Decreased collaboration among teams

• The benefits of cloud computing include cost efficiency, scalability, flexibility, automatic updates, enhanced collaboration, and improved security.

Identify the key components of a computer network.

• User interfaces

• Key components of a computer network include devices (computers, servers, routers), transmission media (cables, wireless), network protocols, and network interfaces.

• Only software applications

• Power supply units

Analyze the process of software development in stages.

• Analysis, Development, Quality Assurance, Launch

• The stages of software development are Requirements Gathering, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance.

• Conceptualization, Prototyping, Review, Support

• Planning, Coding, Debugging, Release

Compare the definitions of 'hardware' and 'software'.

• Hardware and software are interchangeable terms for computer components.

• Hardware refers to the software applications used on a computer.

• Software is the physical parts of a computer system.

• Hardware is the physical components of a computer; software is the programs that run on those components.

Apply the term 'API' in the context of web development.

• API is a type of web server.

• API refers to a programming language.

• API stands for Application Programming Interface, facilitating communication between web applications.

• API is a database management system.

What does 'latency' refer to in data transmission?

• The amount of data transmitted.

• The quality of the data being sent.

• Latency refers to the time delay in data transmission.

• The speed of data transmission.

Explain the operational concept of 'agile methodology'.

• Agile methodology is a linear and rigid approach to project management.

• Agile methodology eliminates the need for customer feedback during development.

• Agile methodology is an iterative and flexible approach to project management that focuses on collaboration, customer feedback, and delivering functional increments of a product.

• Agile methodology focuses solely on documentation and planning before execution.

Identify the key components of a database management system.

• Network protocol

• Data storage format

• Key components of a database management system include the database engine, database schema, query processor, transaction management system, and user interface.

• User authentication system

Analyze the technical process of troubleshooting a network issue.

• Assume the issue is with the ISP without testing the local network.

• Follow a systematic approach to identify and resolve network connectivity issues.

• Restart the router without checking connections.

• Ignore error messages and continue using the network.
