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






2. Application






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






4. Code generation in a lib






5. Fix any problems and then repeat the process.






6. CONSTANT






7. Function doesn't exist.






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






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






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






11. Functionality Tests.






12. Downloads without merging.






13. Link multiple projects together






14. Takes information in the index and pushes it onto the stack.






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






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






17. No more than 40 hours to stop burnouts.






18. Stand up meetings show who will be valuable and needed.






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






20. When a class is defined within another class.






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






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






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






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






25. Do not optimize until the very end.






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






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






28. Formatted code standards.






29. Adds files to the repository.






30. Classes build off of each other.






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






32. You have to tell it to link






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






34. Code whatever it is you need to code.






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






36. Whats displayed to the screen






37. Undo changes made since your last commit.






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






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






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






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






42. Allows you to switch your working copy to another branch.






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






44. When doing a - precise task.






45. Downloads your changes and then merges.






46. Input






47. Variable doesn't exist.






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






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






50. 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
