Which of the following statements apply to design patterns? (Choose two.)

• Design patterns are not invented but discovered.
• Design patterns should always be described alongside the problem they are supposed to solve.
• Design patterns are formally defined and can thus be proven to be correct.
• The number of design patterns used is proportional to the software architecture's quality.

Which of the following statements are correct? (Choose two.)

• A stack acts exactly like a queue.
• A stack is organized according to the FIFO principle.
• A stack usually only provides access to one element at a time.

Name the three most important fields of template-based architecture documentation. (Choose three.)

• To describe module structures (white boxes)
• To describe individual architectural modules and their external interfaces (black boxes)
• To use copyright templates for a consistent description of project/system meta information within documents and source codes
