4.

Every project should document its architecture.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

While it is generally recommended to document the architecture of a project, it is not an absolute requirement for every project. The decision to document the architecture depends on various factors such as the complexity of the project, the size of the team, the need for future maintenance or scalability, and the project's specific requirements. Some smaller or simpler projects may not require extensive documentation of their architecture, whereas larger or more complex projects may benefit from having detailed documentation to aid in understanding, communication, and future development.

Rate this question:
5.

Architecture documents are abstractions of the system.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Architecture documents are abstractions of the system because they provide a high-level overview of the system's structure, components, and interactions. These documents focus on capturing the essential elements and relationships, while omitting unnecessary details. By abstracting the system, architecture documents help stakeholders understand the system's design and make informed decisions. They serve as a blueprint for development, communication, and collaboration among team members. Therefore, it is true that architecture documents are abstractions of the system.

Rate this question:
6.

A good set of architectural documents will completely describe the system
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

A good set of architectural documents may provide a comprehensive overview of the system, but it is unlikely to completely describe the system. Architecture documents typically focus on high-level design decisions, key components, and their interactions. However, they may not cover every single detail, implementation specifics, or changes that occur over time. Therefore, while architectural documents are valuable for understanding the system's structure and design principles, they are not expected to provide an exhaustive and complete description of the entire system.

Rate this question:
7.

All design decisions should be made before coding begins
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

This statement is false because design decisions can and often should be made throughout the coding process. As developers gain a better understanding of the requirements and constraints of the project, they may need to adjust their design decisions accordingly. Additionally, new ideas or technologies may emerge during the coding process that could warrant changes to the initial design. Therefore, design decisions are not fixed and can be made and modified as needed throughout the coding process.

Rate this question:
8.

Different types of models are required in order to serve the needs of various stakeholders.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

This statement is incorrect. Different types of models are not required to serve the needs of various stakeholders. Models are tools used to represent and understand complex systems or concepts. While different stakeholders may have different needs and perspectives, it is not necessary to have different types of models to serve those needs. A single model can be used to address the requirements of multiple stakeholders by incorporating their perspectives and requirements into the model. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

OCL (Object Constraint Language)
- A. Can be used to model the structure of a system.
- B. Is similar to natural language in its support for modeling systems.
- C. Can be used to model the relationships in the domain.
- D. Is a language that is understood by most non-technical people.
- E. Is good for describing invariants in a model.
Correct Answer

A. E. Is good for describing invariants in a model.

Explanation

OCL (Object Constraint Language) is a language that is good for describing invariants in a model. Invariants are conditions or rules that must always hold true in a system. OCL allows developers to express these invariants in a precise and formal way, making it easier to validate and enforce them. It is not used to model the structure of a system or the relationships in the domain, and it is not similar to natural language or understood by non-technical people.

Rate this question:

When modeling the domain we model its
- A. Structure
- B. Behavior
- C. The way people will use the system
- D. Both a and b
- E. Both a and c
Correct Answer

A. D. Both a and b

Explanation

When modeling the domain, we need to consider both the structure and behavior of the system. The structure refers to the components, relationships, and organization of the system, while the behavior refers to the functionality and actions performed by the system. By modeling both aspects, we can create a comprehensive representation of the domain and ensure that the system meets the requirements and expectations. Additionally, considering the way people will use the system is also important to ensure that the system is user-friendly and meets the needs of the users. Therefore, the correct answer is d. Both a and b.

A master model is the one used by the architect to include information from all three viewtypes
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

A master model is not used by the architect to include information from all three view types. The master model is a term used in software engineering to refer to a central model that is used as a reference or a template for creating other models. In the context of architecture, the master model may refer to a comprehensive model that includes information from different disciplines or viewpoints, but it does not specifically refer to the three view types. Therefore, the statement is false.

Rate this question:

- D) Help maintainers identify the source of bugs.
- E) All of the above.
Correct Answer

A. B) Help the project sponsors understand how the system will work.

Explanation

Class diagrams are a visual representation of the structure and relationships of the classes in a system. They help programmers understand the context of the code they are creating by providing an overview of the system's architecture. They also help the project manager identify responsible people for coding tasks by showing the relationships between classes and modules. Additionally, class diagrams help maintainers identify the source of bugs by providing a clear depiction of the system's structure. Therefore, the correct answer is b) Help the project sponsors understand how the system will work.

Class diagrams can be generated directly from code
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Class diagrams can be generated directly from code by using various tools and technologies. These tools analyze the code and extract information about the classes, their attributes, and their relationships. They then generate a visual representation of the classes and their relationships, which is known as a class diagram. This diagram helps in understanding the structure and organization of the code, making it easier to comprehend and maintain. Therefore, the statement "Class diagrams can be generated directly from code" is true.
