Software Development and Management Questions

Multiple choice technology
  1. Index Agent

  2. Index Server

  3. Java method server

  4. DFS

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The Index Agent is the Documentum component that monitors the Content Server's queue for objects that need to be indexed or re-indexed. It retrieves these objects, processes them, and sends the index data to the Index Server for full-text search capabilities.

Multiple choice technology enterprise content management
  1. Copied

  2. Versioned

  3. Deleted

  4. none

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation

Retention policies can act on documents in multiple ways. They may cause a copy of a document to be retained for compliance, and they can also trigger versioning to preserve historical states. Deletion is not a typical retention action, and ‘none’ would defeat the policy’s purpose, so the two marked options are correct.

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. Boundary value

  2. Equivalence partition

  3. Decision table

  4. State transition

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Decision tables are specifically designed to capture complex business rules and logical conditions in a structured tabular format. They systematically show all possible combinations of conditions and their corresponding actions, making them ideal for documenting requirements with multiple logical rules that must be evaluated together.

Multiple choice technology mainframe
  1. Form Language Definition Processor

  2. Form Design

  3. D$DEF Routines
  4. Interaction to application programs

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

DPS 2200 consists of several components for form definition and processing. The Form Language Definition Processor is a core component responsible for processing and interpreting form language definitions. Other components include form design utilities and runtime routines, but the Form Language Definition Processor is specifically responsible for handling the form language syntax and structure.

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. Provide support for statistical analysis

  2. Store and manage bug reports

  3. Enable the traceability between test ware and software work products and product variants

  4. The analysis of structures and dependencies (e.g. linked web pages)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Configuration management tools provide version control, traceability, and audit capabilities. Statement C is correct because these tools establish and maintain traceability links between testware (test cases, test scripts) and software work products (code, requirements) across different product variants. They don't typically provide statistical analysis (A), don't store bug reports (B) - that's bug tracking tools, and don't analyze structures (D) - that's static analysis.

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. Consultative Approach

  2. Regression Approach

  3. Preventive Approach

  4. Reactive Approach

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Based on technology and business experts, the Consultative Approach is most likely to be true as it involves seeking guidance from domain experts who understand the technical and business context. Reactive approach responds after problems occur, while Preventive approach tries to prevent issues.

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. Customer risk

  2. Project risk

  3. Product risk

  4. Organizational risk

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When software is not user-friendly as expected, it indicates a Product Risk because it directly relates to the product's quality and fitness for use. Customer risk relates to customer satisfaction, Project risk relates to project constraints, and Organizational risk relates to organizational impact.

Multiple choice technology packaged enterprise solutions
  1. You can define available options in Bills of Material for unique product configurations. You can master schedule models and options and then create work orders to build these unique product configuration in WIP while maintaining control of inventory, plan

  2. manufacturing is a manufacturing process in which distinct items/products(which you can easily count, see and touch) are built or manufactured in discrete batches on manufacturing floor

  3. Both option 1 and 2

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Discrete manufacturing involves producing distinct, identifiable, countable items (like cars or computers) in batches or lots. The other options describe configuring option classes or general assembly rules rather than the fundamental definition.

Multiple choice technology packaged enterprise solutions
  1. Large contracts received by the companies can not be completely fulfilled by process manufacturing or disrete or repetitive manufacturing methods

  2. You can define available options in Bills of Material for unique product configurations

  3. goods are standard products and are often configured by customers from Bills of material, where you can define available options for unique product configurations

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Project Manufacturing is designed for companies that manage large, complex contracts that cannot be fully or efficiently managed using standard discrete, process, or repetitive manufacturing alone, allowing integration of manufacturing with project tracking.

Multiple choice technology packaged enterprise solutions
  1. In Memory Cache of the XML of a frequently accessed rule

  2. Disk based cache of the XML of a frequently accessed rule

  3. First Use Assembly cache

  4. Cache of the generated and instantiated rule instance

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The Rule Instance Cache is an in-memory cache that stores the XML representation of frequently accessed rules to improve performance. It caches the rule definition (XML), not the generated code or instantiated objects. This is distinct from First Use Assembly cache which caches generated Java code.

Multiple choice technology packaged enterprise solutions
  1. Spin-Off

  2. Sub-Flow

  3. Swim Lane

  4. Split-forEach

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Split-forEach is the flow shape designed to iterate over elements in an embedded list, spawning a separate flow execution for each item. Spin-Off creates subprocesses but not specifically for list iteration, while Sub-Flow calls another flow and Swim Lane is for organizational grouping.

Multiple choice technology security
  1. Solutions Continuum

  2. Architecture Vision

  3. Architecture Continuum

  4. Architecture Board

  5. CIO

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In TOGAF, Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) originate from the Architecture Continuum, which contains generic architecture assets and models from the enterprise and industry. The Solutions Continuum (A) provides Building Blocks (SBBs) for specific solutions. Architecture Vision (B) is a phase in TOGAF, not a source of ABBs. The Architecture Board (D) governs architecture, and the CIO (E) is an executive role - neither are building block sources.

Multiple choice technology security
  1. It is a virtual repository of all known architecture assets and artefacts in the IT industry

  2. It is a virtual repository of all architecture assets and artefacts which the enterprise is considering in its own architecture project

  3. It provides a taxonomy for classifying architecture assets

  4. It is an important aid to communication for architects on both the buy and supply side

  5. It is an aid to organisation of re-usable and solution assets

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Multiple choice technology security
  1. Identifying re-usable components

  2. Consistency between sub-architectures

  3. The production of usable governance material and activities

  4. All of the above

  5. B & C only

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The Architecture Board in TOGAF has multiple responsibilities: identifying reusable components (A), ensuring consistency between sub-architectures (B), and producing governance materials (C). Since all three listed options are valid Board responsibilities, 'All of the above' (D) is correct. Option E is incorrect because it excludes A.
