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.

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






7. Views all previous changes.






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






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






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






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






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

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






24. Are what function classes should include.






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






26. No more than 40 hours to stop burnouts.






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






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

43. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






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






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