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. Create a test and then create a function.






2. NULL memory.






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






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






5. Developers should be integrated and releasing code into the code repository every few hours.






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






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






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






9. When a class is defined within another class.






10. Code generation in a lib






11. Link multiple projects together






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






13. Taking code and moving it to a function that usually returns an object. They are always virtual functions.






14. 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.






15. Default branch within your repository.






16. Whats displayed to the screen






17. Do not optimize until the very end.






18. CONSTANT






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






20. Encapsulates a request as an object - thereby letting you parameterize clients with different requests - queue or log requests - and support undoable operations.






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






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






23. Initialized heap memory.






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






25. Makes a project compile in order of who is dependent on what






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






27. Current view/ previous line.






28. Always do the simplest design that could possibly work.






29. Undo changes made since your last commit.






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






31. A collection of memory addresses for all virtual functions in an objects class hierarchy.






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






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






34. When GIT cannot merge your data.






35. When doing a - precise task.






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






37. Puts all headers into a master header.






38. How many objects that a source object can legitimately reference.






39. Simply a value.






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






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






42. Application






43. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






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






46. Formatted code standards.






47. Creates a copy of your current branch into a remote branch.






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






49. Makes a copy of your repository.






50. Freed heap memory.
