Study Notes

Object-Oriented Design Principles

Question 1: One of the following is an OO design principle: SRK (no further details provided)

IT-Project Failure Reasons

Question 2: Poor requirements management is a reason for IT-project failure

Triple Constraint and Cost Reduction

Question 3: Reducing cost in the triple constraint (cost, time, scope) will usually result in reduced time and increased scope.

Project Definition

Question 4: A project is a temporary endeavor with a specific goal.

Use Cases

Question 5: Use cases are created during the implementation phase, used for requirements analysis, and used for testing.

Project Management Life Cycle

Question 6: The typical phases of a project management life cycle are initiating, planning, implementing, testing, and closing.

Milestone vs. Tollgate

Question 7: The difference between a milestone and a tollgate is that a milestone is defined by the project manager, while a tollgate has external dependencies that are not controlled by the project manager.

Agile Core

Question 8: The core of agile is the assumption that requirements might change over time and the project will adapt accordingly.

Good Design

Question 9: Good design is considered flexible.

Domain Model

Question 10: A domain model does not contain methods.

Analysis vs. Design

Question 11: Analysis is about understanding the problem (what), while design is about solving the problem (how).

Software Requirements

Question 12: Two types of requirements are functional and non-functional requirements.

Interaction Diagrams

Question 13: Interaction diagrams include sequence diagrams.

Java Language Type

Question 14: Java is a compiled language.

Single Reason to Change

Question 15: A class should only have one reason to change to minimize the number of places affected by a change.

Delegation, Composition, and Aggregation

Question 16: Delegation, composition, and aggregation are ways to reuse a class's behaviour or delegate another class's behavior. This is an alternative to inheritance.

GRASP Patterns

Question 17: High cohesion is a GRASP pattern.
Question 18: Two evaluative GRASP patterns are low coupling and high cohesion.

Pure Fabrication

Question 19: Pure Fabrication is used when Polymorphism doesn't suggest a reasonable solution, or if Indirection isn't possible.

GoF Design Patterns

Question 20: Furniture is not a GoF pattern.

Information Expert

Question 21: The Information Expert pattern assigns responsibility to the class with the most relevant information.

Observer Pattern

Question 22: In the Observer Pattern, a listener subscribes to a publisher.

Responsibilities

Question 23: Responsibilities are categorized as knowing and owning, and doing and having.

Architectural Factors

Question 24: Architectural factors include architecturally significant requirements.

Great Software

Question 25: Great software is maintainable, reusable, extendable, easy to learn, easy to use.

Software Development Methodologies

Question 26: The text suggests Evolutionary Prototyping and Spiral Model as possible methodologies though other options may equally be correct or suitable, this depends on further context provided. Answers should provide a justification or a comparison.

GRASP Patterns and Architectural Levels

Question 27: Some GRASP patterns apply at the software architecture level. Further patterns include, but are not limited to those already identified.

Design Model vs. Domain Model

Question 28: Explain the difference between Design Model and Domain Model. Answers should include details.

Requirements Change Reasons

Question 29: Reasons for requirements change can include: client changes, new technologies, changing market and business needs, improved understanding, or unforeseen challenges. More details should be given than the brief provided response.

MVC Design and Responsibility

Question 30: The text suggests that in an MVC pattern, a controller should be responsible for handling invalid input due to it's mediating and interfacing nature. However, other choices are also possible and pros and cons of each should be provided. Further the text alludes to a potential 4th option in this scenario that may or may not include other details.
