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






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






3. Adds files to the repository.






4. Code generation in a lib






5. Variable doesn't exist.






6. 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






7. Italicized in UML.






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Initialized stack memory.






15. Initialized heap memory.






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






17. Functionality Tests.






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






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






20. You have to tell it to link






21. Set of all pending changes.






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






23. When a conflict is fixed.






24. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






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






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






28. Try to find the flaws in your code.






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






30. Link multiple projects together






31. No more than 40 hours to stop burnouts.






32. A function that can load a library






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






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






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






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






37. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






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






39. Formatted code standards.






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






41. 2 Eyes + 2 Minds = AWESOME!






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






43. Downloads without merging.






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






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






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






47. The default nickname for the remote repository.






48. Input






49. Downloads your changes and then merges.






50. Freed heap memory.
