Questions and Answers

What is the primary trade-off in achieving storage efficiency by compressing data?

  • Reduced processing speed due to the overhead of compression
  • Longer processing time to compress and decompress the data (correct)
  • Decreased data integrity due to loss of information during compression
  • Increased storage space required for the compressed data

Which UML diagram is used to reflect the organization of packages and their elements?

  • Activity diagram
  • Package diagram (correct)
  • Sequence diagram
  • Class diagram

What is the primary purpose of using a package diagram to represent class elements?

  • To provide a visualization of the namespaces in the system (correct)
  • To depict the interactions between objects in a system
  • To model the behavior of individual classes
  • To show the inheritance relationships between classes

Data Compression

The process of reducing the size of data to save storage space.

Compression Trade-off

The trade-off for efficient data compression: it takes longer to compress and uncompress the data.

Package Diagram

A UML diagram that shows the organization of packages and their elements.

Package Diagram Purpose

The use of package diagrams to represent class elements.

Study Notes

Package Diagrams

  • Used to organize use case diagrams and class diagrams
  • Can be used to represent the organization of packages and their elements

Component Diagrams

  • Illustrate the pieces of software, embedded controllers, etc. that make up a system
  • Have a higher level of abstraction than Class Diagrams
  • A component can encompass a large portion of a system
  • Implemented by one or more classes (or objects) at runtime

Activity Diagrams

  • Used to display the sequence of activities
  • Show the workflow from a start point to the finish point
  • Detailing the many decision paths that exist in the progression of events contained in the activity

Design Principles

  • Speed Efficiency: critical for real-time applications
  • Impediments to speed efficiency include loops, remote operations, function calls, object creation
  • Storage Efficiency: attained by storing only needed data, compressing data, and storing in order of relative frequency
  • Profiler: an application that tracks resource usage during program execution

UML Diagrams

  • Types of UML diagrams include actor, relation among actors, classes, relations, package diagrams
  • UML diagrams are used to provide a visualization of namespaces

Refactoring

  • Refactoring: revising the design and implementation to accommodate additional requirements
  • Methods include promoting a primitive attribute to class, class selection, introducing abstract classes or interfaces
  • Refactoring is needed to accommodate increased scope

Verifying Input

  • Check all inputs for constraints including type verification, preconditions, invariants, postconditions
  • Initialize variables and objects at declaration/creation time to improve robustness
