Test your basic knowledge |

SWA - Software Architecture

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. Link multiple projects together






2. (Door-----Spell) BI_DIRECTIONAL because both classes can reference each other. (Door--->Spell) DIRECTIONAL because only the door knows and can reference Spell.






3. Set of all pending changes.






4. The default nickname for the remote repository.






5. Ignores files when pushing.






6. CONSTANT






7. Are what function classes should include.






8. Takes information in the index and pushes it onto the stack.






9. When a .cpp file is compiled - the header files are first included (recursively) by the pre-processor. This block of code is called a ______________.






10. Keeps a team using a similar naming convention for things.






11. Code whatever it is you need to code.






12. Downloads without merging.






13. Bad! Don't ever use these types of variables!






14. Quick program.






15. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






16. When a class is defined within another class.






17. Bookmark of a revised set with a title. For easy checkouts.






18. Figure out what is feasible. Decide whether to use API's or to write from scratch.






19. Downloads your changes and then merges.






20. A reference. Has and delete dynamic memory. implies ownership (Association does not).






21. Puts all headers into a master header.






22. Function doesn't exist.






23. Allows you to switch your working copy to another branch.






24. The process of deciding which function definition to link during run-time.






25. Freed heap memory.






26. Weak relationship between two classes. Almost always results in a #include.






27. Use only through the interface of the object.






28. Symbols that can not be accessed by code in other units have __________. These symbols are usually static non-member functions/variables defined within.c/.cpp or defined in an anonymous namespace.






29. Initialized stack memory.






30. Current view/ previous line.






31. Put this before a function name in a dll - and the function name will avoid name mangling






32. Trying to access a location in memory that your computer cannot access.






33. Ensure a class only has one instance - and provide a global point of access to it






34. Written by the customers as things that the system needs to do for them.






35. Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem. Defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use.






36. Symbols that can be invoked or used by other code in a different unit. All non inline class member functions and variables - non-static non-member functions and variables defined within a .cpp file






37. Having power over inheritance with the flexibility of composition.






38. When we remove redundant or obsolete designs and replace them with a new.






39. A type of library that is used by the code






40. When a conflict is fixed.






41. Use this to find a memory address or signiture in a dll






42. Valid input that the program is designed to process.






43. Ability to treat a class object as a function by overloading the () operator.






44. 2 Eyes + 2 Minds = AWESOME!






45. When you type in an object - you can see its attributes.






46. Fix any problems and then repeat the process.






47. Reusing existing functionality by defining a relationship between two classes : Inheritance or containment.






48. A function that can load a library






49. Treating a derived class's data members like it's base class's.






50. Uploads changes to your current branch.
