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






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






3. Code generation in a lib






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






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






6. When exporting a dll - the names of the functions are changed. This is knwon as ____________.






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






8. Functionality Tests.






9. Treating a derived class's data members like it's base class's.






10. Classes build off of each other.






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






12. Views all previous changes.






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






14. Variable doesn't exist.






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






16. Are what function classes should include.






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






18. Use this to find a memory address or signiture in a dll






19. When GIT cannot merge your data.






20. Will execute all code paths and boundary conditions.






21. 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






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






23. Use only through the interface of the object.






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






25. Downloads without merging.






26. Quick program.






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






28. Downloads your changes and then merges.






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






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






31. Initialized stack memory.






32. Current line that is executing.






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






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






35. Formatted code standards.






36. Stops when memory changes.






37. When a class is defined within another class.






38. A function that can load a library






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






40. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






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






42. About the interface to an object. Data contained within.






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






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






45. Adds files to the repository.






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






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






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






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






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