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. Set of all pending changes.






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






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






4. Variable doesn't exist.






5. Application






6. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






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






9. The linking is already done internally






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. Initialized heap memory.






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






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






14. Do not optimize until the very end.






15. Downloads without merging.






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






17. Try to find the flaws in your code.






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






19. A function that can load a library






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






21. Italicized in UML.






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






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






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






25. Formatted code standards.






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






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






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






29. Inheritance between object.






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






31. Uploads changes to your current branch.






32. Current line that is executing.






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






34. Functionality Tests.






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






36. Undo changes made since your last commit.






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






38. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






39. Ensure a class only has one instance - and provide a global point of access to it






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






41. Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.






42. Current view/ previous line.






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






44. The process of deciding which function definition to link during run-time.






45. Are what function classes should include.






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






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






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






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






50. Input
