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






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






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






4. Functionality Tests.






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






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






7. Views all previous changes.






8. Undo changes made since your last commit.






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






10. Current view/ previous line.






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






12. You have to tell it to link






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






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






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






16. What is part of the current scope.






17. CONSTANT






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






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






20. Variable doesn't exist.






21. Ignores files when pushing.






22. Quick program.






23. Do not optimize until the very end.






24. Use only through the interface of the object.






25. Whats displayed to the screen






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






27. Link multiple projects together






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






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






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






31. Plan out your code.






32. Freed heap memory.






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






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






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






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






37. Creates a copy of your current branch into a remote branch.






38. 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






39. When GIT cannot merge your data.






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






41. Meetings at the beginning of each iteration to produce a plan of programming tasks.






42. Function doesn't exist.






43. Input






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






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






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






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






48. One of the linking methods (pragma comment)






49. Code generation in a lib






50. Try to find the flaws in your code.
