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. Whats displayed to the screen






2. Breaks encapsulation boundaries.






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






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






5. Uploads changes to your current branch.






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






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






8. Do not optimize until the very end.






9. Downloads your changes and then merges.






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






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






12. 2 Eyes + 2 Minds = AWESOME!






13. Code generation in a lib






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






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






16. 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






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






18. 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.






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






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






22. Current line that is executing.






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






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






25. Adds files to the repository.






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






27. Default branch within your repository.






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






29. Will execute all code paths and boundary conditions.






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






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






32. Initialized stack memory.






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






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






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






36. Makes a copy of your repository.






37. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






38. A measure of logical dependency.






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






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






41. Classes build off of each other.






42. Fix any problems and then repeat the process.






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






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






45. Variable doesn't exist.






46. Removes files from the repository.






47. STOP!!






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






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






50. Try to find the flaws in your code.
