    Liskov’s Substitution Principle _________.

    • Helps ensure that objects are highly reusable.

    • Requires that methods that are present in base classes must also be present in the derived classes.

    • Helps ensure that objects are easy to extend without requiring change to the original object.

    • Requires that object interfaces only include methods that will be needed by most implementers.

    • Helps make changing an object easier.

    Correct Answer
    A. Requires that methods that are present in base classes must also be present in the derived classes.
    Explanation
    Liskov's Substitution Principle requires that methods that are present in base classes must also be present in the derived classes. This principle ensures that derived classes can be substituted for their base classes without affecting the correctness of the program. It promotes code reusability and helps maintain the behavior and contracts of the base class in the derived classes. By adhering to this principle, it becomes easier to extend and modify the functionality of objects without introducing unexpected behavior or breaking existing code.

    The primary difference between component diagrams and sequence diagrams is

    • Component diagrams show all potential interactions among a group of components whereas sequence diagram shows the interactions involved in response to a particular kind of request.

    • There is very little difference, they are just two different ways of viewing component interactions.

    • In component diagram the components use a rectangular shape with the component icon in the upper right corner but no component icon appears in sequence diagrams.

    • Component diagrams represent the code whereas sequence diagrams represent behavior.

    Correct Answer
    A. Component diagrams show all potential interactions among a group of components whereas sequence diagram shows the interactions involved in response to a particular kind of request.
    Explanation
    Component diagrams and sequence diagrams serve different purposes in representing interactions among components. Component diagrams provide an overview of all potential interactions among a group of components, showcasing the relationships and dependencies between them. On the other hand, sequence diagrams focus on illustrating the specific interactions that occur in response to a particular type of request, capturing the sequence of messages exchanged between the components involved. While both diagrams are valuable in understanding component interactions, their scope and level of detail differ, making them distinct ways of visualizing component behavior.

    Correct Answer
    A. Chosen carefully to reflect the concerns of users.
    Explanation
    When modeling a system using multiple views, it is important that all views are chosen carefully to reflect the concerns of users. This means that the views should be selected in a way that they accurately represent the different perspectives and requirements of the users. Additionally, it is also crucial that the views are kept internally consistent, meaning that they should not contradict each other and should provide a cohesive understanding of the system. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both b and c" - the views should be chosen carefully to reflect the concerns of users and kept internally consistent.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    All design decisions should be made before coding begins 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Design decisions should not necessarily be made before coding begins. In some cases, it may be beneficial to start coding and then make design decisions as the coding process progresses. This approach allows for flexibility and adaptability, as the development team can learn from the coding process and make informed design decisions based on the actual implementation. Additionally, iterative or agile development methodologies often prioritize coding and feedback over upfront design, as they value continuous improvement and collaboration. Therefore, the statement that all design decisions should be made before coding begins is false.

    Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using architectural styles during design?  __________

    • They support design reuse.

    • They provide a vocabulary for communication.

    • They provide a set of guard rails to guide you.

    • They define a set of names to use in your design.

    • They help ensure you will meet your quality goals.

    Correct Answer
    A. They define a set of names to use in your design.
    Explanation
    Architectural styles provide several advantages during design, including supporting design reuse, providing a vocabulary for communication, providing guard rails to guide the design process, and helping ensure quality goals are met. However, they do not specifically define a set of names to use in the design. Naming conventions and guidelines are typically defined separately from architectural styles and are specific to the organization or project. Therefore, "They define a set of names to use in your design" is not an advantage of using architectural styles.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Which of the following is a legal exception to pure layered style?

    • The use of sidecars.

    • The use of callbacks.

    • The use of one module in a layer by another.

    • The use of a module by one that is two layers above.

    • None of a-d

    Correct Answer
    A. The use of callbacks.
    Explanation
    The use of callbacks is a legal exception to pure layered style because it allows for communication and interaction between different layers of a system. In a pure layered style, each layer should only communicate with the layer directly above or below it, but the use of callbacks allows for a layer to invoke a function or method in a higher layer, breaking the strict layering principle. This can be useful in certain situations where direct communication between layers is necessary for functionality or performance reasons.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    In the Pipe and Filter style, which of the following is not allowed? _______

    • A Filter can alternate providing data between two filters.

    • Two pipes can be potential suppliers for a filter.

    • A pipe can feed data into another pipe.

    • A filter can be designed to be used in another application.

    • None of a-d

    Correct Answer
    A. A pipe can feed data into another pipe.
    Explanation
    In the Pipe and Filter style, a pipe is used to transfer data from one filter to another. However, a pipe cannot directly feed data into another pipe. Pipes are used to connect filters in a linear manner, where the output of one filter is passed through a pipe to the input of the next filter. Therefore, the correct answer is that a pipe cannot feed data into another pipe.

    Correct Answer
    A. Consistent use of arrows
    Explanation
    A desirable trait of a software model is that it accurately represents reality, is sufficiently precise, and is accurate. However, consistent use of arrows is not a desirable trait of a software model. While arrows can be used in software modeling to depict relationships or flow, their consistent use is not a requirement for a model to be effective or useful. Different modeling approaches or tools may use different symbols or notations to represent relationships, so the consistency of arrow usage is not essential in evaluating the quality of a software model.

    Which of the following statements is NOT true for creating and using models? ________

    • -A model is falsifiable if one is able to determine the truth or falseness of some property about the model.

    • A legend is not required when the diagram is created using a known notation.

    • Most people will be able to read a model but far fewer will be able to identify the correct type of model to create and to create it correctly.

    • A model is more useful if it focuses the user’s attention.

    • Both a and d

    • Both b and c

    • Both c and d

    Correct Answer
    A. A legend is not required when the diagram is created using a known notation.
    Explanation
    A legend is not required when the diagram is created using a known notation because in such cases, the symbols and their meanings are already established and understood by the users. Therefore, a separate legend explaining the symbols is not necessary.

    Which of the following is not a software engineering risk? ______

    • The server may not scale to 1000 users.

    • The code for the sort algorithm is overly complex.

    • We do not adequately understand our customer’s needs.

    • The system is working fine, but if we try to change anything it seems to always break something else.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. We do not adequately understand our customer’s needs.
    Explanation
    The given answer, "We do not adequately understand our customer's needs," is not a software engineering risk because it pertains to a lack of understanding and communication with the customer, which falls under project management or requirements gathering rather than software engineering. Software engineering risks typically involve technical challenges such as scalability, complexity of code, or the potential for introducing bugs while making changes to the system.

    Which of the following DOES NOT describe risk in software  development 

    • Something to worry about

    • A cause of failure

    • A chance of failure

    • A primary driver of architecture

    Correct Answer
    A. A cause of failure
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it states that risk in software development is not a cause of failure. Risk refers to the possibility of something going wrong or not achieving the desired outcome. While risk can certainly contribute to failure, it is not the sole cause. Failure in software development can result from various factors such as inadequate planning, poor communication, technical issues, or external factors. Therefore, risk is not the exclusive cause of failure in software development.

    UML provides special notation for a subsystem element because

    • Subsystem elements have critical differences from components, which must be represented.

    • Subsystem elements and component elements are not substantially different so there is no need for them.

    • Component elements have important aspects that are not representable using the provided subsystem element notation.

    • Both a and c

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Subsystem elements and component elements are not substantially different so there is no need for them.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that subsystem elements and component elements are not substantially different so there is no need for special notation for subsystem elements. This means that both subsystem elements and component elements can be represented using the same notation in UML, as they do not have critical differences that require separate representation. Therefore, there is no need for a special notation for subsystem elements.

    A design pattern ______ .

    • Contains a description of other related patterns.

    • Can be useful describing how a software problem was solved by a developer.

    • Is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design.

    • Gives examples of code that used the pattern.

    • Both a and c

    • All of a-d

    Correct Answer
    A. All of a-d
    Explanation
    A design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design. It can be useful in describing how a software problem was solved by a developer. Additionally, a design pattern may contain a description of other related patterns and provide examples of code that used the pattern. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of a-d".

    Which of the following is the best choice for creating code views? _______

    • Sequence diagram

    • Component diagram

    • Activity diagram

    • Class diagram

    • Both b and c

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Class diagram
    Explanation
    A class diagram is the best choice for creating code views because it provides a visual representation of the structure and relationships of classes in a system. It allows developers to easily understand how different classes interact with each other and how the code is organized. This diagram is commonly used in object-oriented programming to design and document software systems.
