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






2. Initialized heap memory.






3. Fix any problems and then repeat the process.






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






5. Classes build off of each other.






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






7. When doing a - precise task.






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






9. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






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






11. Default branch within your repository.






12. Portioning your changes to commit by inserting them into the index.






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






14. Are what function classes should include.






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






16. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






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






19. Will execute all code paths and boundary conditions.






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






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






22. Set of all pending changes.






23. Simply a value.






24. Creates a spin-off of a repository for concurrent development.






25. Whats displayed to the screen






26. Makes a copy of your repository.






27. When a concrete class inherits from a pure interface.






28. Current line that is executing.






29. Linking to dynamic libraries is usually handled by linking to an ____________.






30. CONSTANT






31. Uploads changes to your current branch.






32. Ability to withstand change and what the effects are.






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






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






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






36. The default nickname for the remote repository.






37. Static in C++. Can span all instances of a class.






38. When a class is defined within another class.






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






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






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






42. Formatted code standards.






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






44. 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.






45. Freed heap memory.






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






47. Separating out a section of code into a reusable function or class.






48. No more than 40 hours to stop burnouts.






49. When GIT cannot merge your data.






50. 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
