    User feedback can be evaluated in many ways. Which of the following methods is more quantitative than direct user feedback, and will provide indirect feedback from the majority of users who do not respond?

    • A.

      User surveys

    • B.

      Site server logs

    • C.

      Online e-mail links

    • D.

      Opt-in bulk mail services

    Correct Answer
    B. Site server logs
    Explanation
    Site server logs are more quantitative than direct user feedback because they provide objective data about user behavior on a website. These logs record information such as the number of visitors, their click paths, the pages they visited, and the time spent on each page. This data can be analyzed to identify patterns and trends, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of user behavior. Unlike user surveys or online e-mail links, site server logs capture data from all users, including those who do not actively provide feedback. Opt-in bulk mail services may provide some indirect feedback, but it is not as quantitative or comprehensive as site server logs.

    Jared is creating an interactive Web site that is expected to respond to heavy traffic. He needs to request new hardware in order to build a staging server. What requirement of the staging server should he be aware of when ordering the new hardware?

    • A.

      The staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server.

    • B.

      The staging server should have a different operating system from that of the production server for flexibility during testing.

    • C.

      The staging server should have a slower processor and less RAM than the production server because it is just a test server.

    • D.

      The staging server should have more RAM and a faster processor than the production server because testing is more intensive than production use.

    Correct Answer
    A. The staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server.
    Explanation
    Jared should be aware that the staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server. This is important because it ensures that the staging environment accurately reflects the production environment. By having the same configuration, Jared can accurately test the performance and functionality of the website under heavy traffic conditions before deploying it to the production server. This helps to identify any potential issues or bottlenecks and allows for proper optimization and troubleshooting before the website goes live.

    Which of the following would typically be found in the contents of an external style sheet?

    • A.

      P [margin: 1in]

    • B.

      P (margin: 1in)

    • C.

      P { margin: 1in }

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    C. P { margin: 1in }
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "P { margin: 1in }". This is the correct syntax for defining a CSS rule in an external style sheet. The "P" selector selects all paragraph elements, and the "margin: 1in" property sets the margin of the paragraphs to 1 inch. An external style sheet is a separate file that contains CSS rules and is linked to an HTML document using the tag. This allows for the separation of style and content, making it easier to maintain and update the styles across multiple pages.

    • A.

      A content region.

    • B.

      An editable region.

    • C.

      A CSS style sheet.

    • D.

      A tag to hold content.

    Correct Answer
    B. An editable region.
    Explanation
    When Hal saves a file as a template in Dreamweaver, if he has not already done so, Dreamweaver will prompt him to add an editable region. An editable region allows the user to modify specific areas of the template while keeping the rest of the content consistent. This feature is useful for creating templates that can be easily customized without affecting the overall structure and design.

    • D.

      Call users and ask them which sections of the site they visit often.

    Correct Answer
    C. Analyze the Web site server logs to measure page access.
    Explanation
    Analyzing the website server logs is the best way for Kellee to determine which areas of her company's website attract visitors and the frequency of those visits. Server logs record all the requests made to the website, including the specific pages accessed and the time of access. By analyzing these logs, Kellee can gather data on the popularity of different areas of the website and the frequency of visits, allowing her to make informed decisions about improving and optimizing the website's content and layout. Monitoring network traffic, using hit counters, or asking users directly would not provide as comprehensive and accurate information as analyzing the server logs.

    You have created a style sheet and applied it to every Web page on your site. After reviewing the updated pages, you notice that not all of the styles implemented by the style sheet were applied to some of the pages. Which of the following is the most plausible reason for this?

    • A.

      One style sheet cannot be applied to multiple pages.

    • B.

      Certain styles cannot be rendered the same on all pages.

    • C.

      Linked styles will be overridden by embedded or inline styles on the page.

    • D.

      Your site uses multiple linked style sheets, which are conflicting with one another.

    Correct Answer
    C. Linked styles will be overridden by embedded or inline styles on the page.
    Explanation
    When a style sheet is applied to multiple web pages, the linked styles in the style sheet can be overridden by embedded or inline styles that are specifically defined within the individual pages. This means that if a particular page has its own embedded or inline styles, those styles will take precedence over the linked styles from the external style sheet. Thus, the most plausible reason for not all styles being applied to some pages is that the linked styles are being overridden by embedded or inline styles on those pages.

    The best way to thwart a dictionary attack is by enforcing a:

    • A.

      Proxy server policy.

    • B.

      Strong password policy.

    • C.

      Restricted access policy.

    • D.

      Firewall configuration policy.

    Correct Answer
    B. Strong password policy.
    Explanation
    A dictionary attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker tries to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible words or combinations of words from a dictionary. Enforcing a strong password policy can help thwart such attacks as it requires users to create passwords that are complex and not easily guessable. Strong passwords typically include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, making it difficult for attackers to crack them using dictionary-based techniques.

  • 24. 

    Which of the following techniques helps stop a denial-of-service (DOS) attack in which an attacker has sent multiple ICMP or TCP packets to crash a Web server on the Internet?

    • A.

      Filtering traffic at the firewall

    • B.

      Changing passwords on a regular basis

    • C.

      Installing Apache server rather than Microsoft IIS

    • D.

      Placing the database and the Web server on separate systems

    Correct Answer
    A. Filtering traffic at the firewall
    Explanation
    Filtering traffic at the firewall helps stop a denial-of-service (DOS) attack by blocking or filtering out the malicious packets sent by the attacker. By configuring the firewall to only allow legitimate traffic to reach the web server, the excessive ICMP or TCP packets sent by the attacker can be blocked, preventing the server from crashing. This technique helps protect the server and ensures that only valid traffic is allowed to access the web server.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Which of the following is directly exploited by a brute-force attack?

    • A.

      The Web server's available bandwidth

    • B.

      The Web server's authentication mechanisms

    • C.

      The TCP/IP software installed on the Web server

    • D.

      The log file mechanisms that exist on the Web server

    Correct Answer
    B. The Web server's authentication mechanisms
    Explanation
    A brute-force attack is a method used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible combinations of passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. In this case, the correct answer is "The Web server's authentication mechanisms" because brute-force attacks target the authentication mechanisms of a web server, such as login forms or password authentication systems, in order to gain access to restricted areas or sensitive information. By repeatedly trying different combinations of usernames and passwords, the attacker hopes to find the correct credentials and bypass the authentication process.

    • B.

      They interfere with the design process.

Metadata provides information about the content on your website, making it easier for search engines to understand and index your site. By optimizing your metadata with relevant keywords and descriptions, you can improve your website's visibility in search engine results, attracting more organic traffic. This approach respects user privacy as it does not involve intrusive tactics like pop-up advertisements or unsolicited emails.

    • B.

      A Web page should contain more than 10 percent white space, but no more than 20 percent.

This is because reading on a screen is generally more difficult and tiring for the eyes compared to reading from a printed page. Therefore, it is recommended to have less text on a web page to make it easier for users to read and navigate.

    Correct Answer
    A. Discuss the survey results and develop the site mission with the CEO, and then design the site.
    Explanation
    Mikala should balance the CEO's preferences with the audience's needs by discussing the survey results and developing the site mission with the CEO, and then designing the site. This approach ensures that the CEO's preferences are taken into account, but also considers the audience's preference for easy navigation and a simple design.

Using medical terminology in a medical research site is justified as it caters to a specific audience who are knowledgeable in the field. The use of jargon helps to convey information accurately and efficiently, enhancing the credibility and professionalism of the site.

    Correct Answer
    C. All audio content without a text-based alternative
    Explanation
    All audio content without a text-based alternative will have to be eliminated from the site. This is because Conformance Level "Triple-A" according to Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) standards requires that all content on the website is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Without a text-based alternative, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing will not be able to access the audio content. Therefore, it is necessary to remove this content to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.

    What is the name for colors that create black when mixed together?

    • A.

      Radial

    • B.

      Additive

    • C.

      Subtractive

    • D.

      Transitional

    Correct Answer
    C. Subtractive
    Explanation
    Subtractive colors are the ones that create black when mixed together. This is because they absorb light and reflect very little, if any, back to our eyes. When all the colors in the subtractive color model (cyan, magenta, and yellow) are combined, they absorb all the light, resulting in the absence of color or black. Therefore, the correct answer is Subtractive.

    You are using a style sheet. Which of the following examples of code are best suited for crossplatform design?

    • A.

      Font-family: bold, italics;

    • B.

      Font-family=monotype, courier

    • C.

      Font-family: Impact, Verdana, Geneva;

    • D.

      Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    Correct Answer
    D. Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    Explanation
    The code "font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" is best suited for cross-platform design because it specifies a list of font families that are commonly available on different operating systems and devices. This ensures that the text will be displayed consistently across various platforms, as it will try to use the first font family in the list, and if not available, it will fall back to the next one, and so on. This approach increases the chances of the text being rendered correctly regardless of the user's device or operating system.
