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. Ability to accept different types of parameters to bind to different implementations at run-time.






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






3. Downloads your changes and then merges.






4. Uploads all changes staged in the index list into the repository database.






5. Code generation in a lib






6. Create a test and then create a function.






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






8. Do not optimize until the very end.






9. Allows consumers to try a system earlier and give early feedback.






10. Function doesn't exist.






11. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






12. Copies all changes from one branch into another branch.






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






14. Cross training is an important consideration to try and prevent islands of knowledge - which can cause loss.






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






16. When a conflict is fixed.






17. About the interface to an object. Data contained within.






18. Classes build off of each other.






19. Initialized stack memory.






20. Puts all headers into a master header.






21. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






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






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






24. The linking is already done internally






25. A set of creation and initialization steps useful for a set of different related tests.






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






27. Meetings at the beginning of each iteration to produce a plan of programming tasks.






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






29. When exporting a dll - the names of the functions are changed. This is knwon as ____________.






30. You have to tell it to link






31. Will execute all code paths and boundary conditions.






32. Uploads changes to your current branch.






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






34. Meetings used to create a release plan - which will lay out the overall project.






35. Simply a value.






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






37. Invalid or unexpected input that the program is not designed to process.






38. No man's land. Guard bytes before the after allocated heap memory.






39. NULL memory.






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






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






42. A pointer or reference. One object needs to know about the other object to work.






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






44. Functionality Tests.






45. CONSTANT






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






47. Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state - all its dependents are notified and updated automatically






48. Black Box - The way the program works is internally unknown.






49. Italicized in UML.






50. A group of code. unnamed can only be accessed within that translation unit - name can be accessed anywhere
