Which of the following statements are covered by the term 'coupling'? (Choose two.)

• A building block uses an interface of another building block.
• Two building blocks offer operations with the same name.
• A building block only contains operations that belong together logically.
• A building block uses internal data structures of another building block.

Which of the following principles apply to testing? (Choose two.)

• In general, exhaustive testing is not possible.
• Where many errors exist, more errors are usually hidden.
• Sufficient testing will show that a program is free of errors.
• Error-free test runs also mean: the software is usable.

Which three artifacts does the assessment team create when conducting an ATAM evaluation? (Choose three.)

• Architecture-specific chapters of the quality management manual
• The concrete quality tree
• Description of quality scenarios
• A quality model
• Architecture documentation
• Selection of the quality attributes of the architectural building blocks
• List of the architectural risks

For which quality characteristics is the software architect responsible?Please name the two characteristics that best match the role of the software architect. (Choose two.)

• The performance of the software
• The technical quality of the software implementation
• The suitability of the software design for its purpose
• The software is free of errors

Which of the following statements about (crosscutting) concepts are most appropriate? (Select four.)

• The definition of appropriate concepts ensures the conceptual integrity of the architecture.
• Concepts are a means to increase consistency.
• For each quality goal there should be an explicitly documented concept.
• Uniform exception handling is most easily achieved when architects agree with developers upon a suitable concept prior to implementation.
• A concept might be implemented by a single building block.
• Uniform usage of concepts reduces coupling between building blocks.
• A concept can define constraints for the implementation of many building blocks.

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

• The push operation usually places a new element onto a stack.
• 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.

What are known patterns for the adaptation of interfaces? (Choose two.)

• Bridge
• Tower
• Observer
• Façade
• Wall

Which two of the following statements about quality characteristics are most accurate? (Choose two.)

• Flexibility reduces testability
• Increased flexibility improves robustness
• Simplicity increases comprehensibility
• Increased efficiency results in reduced performance

Which of the following statements regarding iterative and incremental design are correct? Please name the three statements that fit the best. (Choose three.)

• Iterations help to deal with uncertainties.
• The iterative approach helps to detect design problems at an earlier stage.
• If the incremental approach is used, risks are detected at a later stage.
• Iterative design leads to project delays.
• If iterative design is used; the customer will be less involved.
• If incremental design is used; key functionality is considered as early as possible.

In a customer project the architecture shall be based on components. The requirements have not been fully determined yet.Taking this constraint into account, which three properties of the components developed by you will you pay particular attention to? (Choose three.)

• meaningful component names
• weak coupling
• strong cohesion
• open for extension
• small component size
