[SE] 7. Architectural Design

Which of the following is an example of a subsystem?

• A UI component in a web application

• Google Maps embedded in an app

• A database schema

• A software test case

Which of the following is an important characteristic of software architecture?

• Performance

• Usability

• Scalability

• Safety

What is an advantage of using well-established software architectural styles?

• They guarantee bug-free code.

• They simplify the development process.

• They eliminate the need for documentation.

• They provide proven solutions to common design challenges.

Why is scalability an important factor in choosing a software architectural style?

• It ensures that the software is compatible with various operating systems.

• It allows the software to handle increased loads and user interactions.

• It simplifies the debugging process.

• It improves the user interface design.

Which architectural style is characterized by the use of components that communicate through shared data stores?

• Event-Driven Architecture

• Shared-Nothing Architecture

• Repository Architecture

• Client-Server Architecture

What is the primary focus of the Client-Server architectural style?

• Centralized data storage

• Separation of user interface and business logic

• Distribution of application logic between clients and servers

• Use of components with well-defined interfaces

In a Microservices architecture, how are the components typically organized?

• As a single, monolithic unit

• As a set of loosely coupled and independently deployable services

• As a hierarchy of layers

• As a set of interconnected pipes and filters

What is the main advantage of Peer-to-Peer architecture?

• High security

• Scalability and fault tolerance

• Centralized control

• Low network traffic

What is the main advantage of using the Pipe and Filter architecture?

• High performance and low latency

• Easy adaptability and reusability of filters

• Tight integration between filters

• Lack of dependencies between filters

Which of the following is an example of a real-world application that could benefit from Pipe and Filter architecture?

• Video streaming service

• Word processing software

• Gaming application

• File compression utility
