FWD Topic 1 - Software Architecture Quiz

What does software architecture of a system describe?

• Only the major components

• Only the relationships between components

• Only how components interact with each other

• Major components, their relationships, and how they interact with each other

What is the primary goal of software architecture?

• To reduce the quality of the system

• To identify requirements affecting the structure of the application

• To expose the implementation details

• To hide the structure of the system

What is the first phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

• Planning

• Design

• Analysis

• Implementation

What is the purpose of the Analysis phase in SDLC?

• To determine the architecture

• To evaluate project costs

• To code the system

• To study and structure system requirements

What is one of the goals of the Design phase in SDLC?

• To study system requirements

• To determine the platform to use

• To hide the structure of the system

• To evaluate project costs

What is the final phase of SDLC?

• Analysis

• Design

• Planning

• Maintenance

What is the purpose of the Maintenance phase in SDLC?

• To code the system

• To systematically repair and improve the software system

• To determine the platform to use

• To study system requirements

What is the importance of getting the software architecture right?

• To increase the complexity of the system

• To reduce the quality of the system

• To avoid any major design changes & code refactoring later

• To speed up the development process

What are some limitations of software architecture?

• Too many analysis methods available

• Clear understanding of the role of software architect

• High awareness of the importance of architectural design

• Lack of tools and standardized ways to represent architecture

Software development is an iterative and evolutionary process

• False

• True
