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

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






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






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






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