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. Inheritance between object.






2. Helps to eliminate unnecessary "include chaining."






3. When a conflict is fixed.






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






5. 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.






6. Simply a value.






7. Keeps a team using a similar naming convention for things.






8. Initialized heap memory.






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






10. Removes files from the repository.






11. 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






12. Undo changes made since your last commit.






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






14. When GIT cannot merge your data.






15. When a class is defined within another class.






16. A type of library that is used by the code






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






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






19. Allows consumers to try a system earlier and give early feedback.






20. Current view/ previous line.






21. Freed heap memory.






22. Application






23. Figure out what is feasible. Decide whether to use API's or to write from scratch.






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






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






26. Default branch within your repository.






27. Current line that is executing.






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






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






30. STOP!!






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






32. CONSTANT






33. Puts all headers into a master header.






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






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






36. A measure of logical dependency.






37. Italicized in UML.






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






39. Stops when memory changes.






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






41. Link multiple projects together






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






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






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






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






46. Formatted code standards.






47. Put this before a function name in a dll - and the function name will avoid name mangling






48. 2 Eyes + 2 Minds = AWESOME!






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






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