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






2. Breaks encapsulation boundaries.






3. Inheritance between object.






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






5. What is part of the current scope.






6. Allow an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class.






7. Formatted code standards.






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






9. 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






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






11. When a class is defined within another class.






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






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






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






15. The default nickname for the remote repository.






16. Concept based on limiting the scope of modules to provide better structures.






17. NULL memory.






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






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






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






21. Try to find the flaws in your code.






22. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






23. Views all previous changes.






24. No more than 40 hours to stop burnouts.






25. CONSTANT






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






27. 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.






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






29. Set of all pending changes.






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






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






32. Undo changes made since your last commit.






33. The linking is already done internally






34. Adds files to the repository.






35. Simply a value.






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






37. You have to tell it to link






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






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






40. Downloads without merging.






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. Ask questions and obtain the details and requirements given.






48. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






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