    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.

    How should a designer decide which views to create? _______

    • A) Build one for each function.

    • B) Build one for each actor.

    • C) Build one for each of the major concerns.

    • D) Build one for each use case.

    • E) Build one for each of the view types.

    Correct Answer
    A. C) Build one for each of the major concerns.
    Explanation
    A designer should decide which views to create based on the major concerns of the system. By building one view for each major concern, the designer can ensure that all important aspects of the system are represented. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the system and helps to address potential issues or conflicts between different concerns. Building views based on major concerns also promotes modularity and maintainability in the design process.
