Q

What are some of the challenges in creating an Architectural Description(AD) ?

A

some of the challenges in creating an Architectural Description(AD) are:

  • Different stakeholders need different things from the AD
  • some stakeholders are very knowledgeable, others aren’t
  • you never have enough time to fully document the architecture.
  • you have to leave some areas undefined or vaguely defined without losing credibility
  • the AD needs to capture design decisions and the rationale clearly without confusing readers with too many irrelevant details and options.
  • the AD needs to be sufficiently detailed to unequivocally answer all the important decisions.

Why is it wise to create multiple views instead of a single model ?

A

it is impossible to describe a software architecture by using a single model. such a model is hard to understand and is unlikely to clearly identify the architecture’s most important features. It also tends to poorly serve individual stakeholders because they struggle to understand the aspects that interest them.

A

It’s high, scalability is naturally achieved by highly independent and decoupled event processors.

111
Q

What is the definition of a software architectecture as defined by the software engineering institute?

A

The software architecture of a program or computing system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software elements, the externally visible properties of those elements, and the relationships among them.

112

  4. Technology
113
Q

What are the concerns of the Evolution perspective

A
  • magnitude of change
  • dimensions of change
  • likelihood of change
  • timescale for change
  • development complexity
  • preservation of knowledge
  • reliability of change
114
Q

Enterprise architecture

A

is an attempt to get to grips with “everything” contains different models with different emphasis is in general top–down starting with the business

115
Q

How do requirements relate to architecture

A

requirements are an input to architecture they frame the architectural problem. An architecture is a framework for evaluating requirements

116
Q

how does one apply architectural tactics ? describe the 4 steps that need to be completed in order to do so.

A
  • identify the relevant tactics
  • evaluate (dis)advantages for implementing the key–drivers
  • evaluate their relationship (e.g. contradiction)
  • make appropriate design decisions
117
Q

What are some challenges when dealing with many structures ?

A
  • organization of ideas
  • understanding different aspects simultaneously
  • dealing with different aspects equally
  • consistency
118
Q

Which of the following statements are incorrect?

  1. a view is a pattern of a generalized viewpoint
  2. a view is the class (or template), the viewpoint is the instance.
  3. models (e.g. diagrams) are the artifacts from which the view is made.
A

statement 1 and statement 2 are incorrect.

a viewpoint is a pattern or generalization of a view

the viewpoint is the class (or template), the view is the instance

119
Q

What are the deliverables of the Use–case view in the RUP/Kruchten 4+1 model?

A

the deliverables of the Use–case view are:

  • Use Case Diagram(s)
  • Use Case descriptions
  • Use Case realizations
120
Q

Give the definition of an Architectural View

A

An architectural view is a representation of the whole system, as seen through the prism of specific concerns.

121
Q

What can be said about the ease of deployment of the Microkernel Architectural pattern

A

It’s high, often plug-in modules can be added to the core system at runtime.

122
Q

What is the R&W equivalent of Rup’s Process view?

A

Concurrency

123
Q

What can be said about the performance of the Microkernel Architectural pattern?

A

It’s high most applications built using the microkernel architecture pattern perform well because you can customize applications to only include those features you need.

124
Q

What are the 5 views in the Rup / Kruchten 4+1 model ?

A
  1. Logical View
  2. Implementation View
  3. Use–case View
  4. Process View
  5. Deployment View
125
Q

Fill in the missing keywords in this diagram of the RUP/Kruchten 4+1 model

A

A = Logical View

B = Implementation View

C = Process View

D = Deployment View

E = Use–Case View

126
Q

How detailed should an Architectural Description(AD) be ?

A

the architectural description (AD) should show the overall picture, but also decompose into enough detail.

127
Q

Give a short description of the Logical view

A

The logical view describes the functional structure and behavior of the system.

128
Q

What can be said about the RUP / Kruchten 4+1 view set?

A
  • best known approach
  • different interpretations exist
  • rather technically oriented
  • quality attributes less explicit
129
Q

Give a description of the MicroKernel Architectural pattern.

A
  1. patterns consists of independent plug-in modules and a basic core system.
  2. many operating systems implement the micro-kernel architecture pattern.
  3. pattern is typically used for application platforms where different versions of a system need to be supported, i.e. platform must cope with continuous evolution.
130
Q

What is the definition of an architectural element?

A

an architectural element is a clearly identifiable, architecturally meaningful piece of a system

131
Q

Why use an Architecture ?

A
  • shared understanding, the big picture
  • a framework for evaluating requirements
  • emphasis is on system’s quality attributes (perspectives)
  • manage complexity
  • avoiding duplication
132
Q

What is the role of a Software Architecture?

A
  1. High level system design
  2. system level abstractions
  3. Statisfy high priority requirements
133
Q

Give an example of the Creational pattern category

A

an example is the singleton pattern which ensures a class has only one instance.

134
Q

Give an example of the Structural pattern category

A

an example is the decorator pattern which is used in java.io classes.

135
Q

Give an example of the Behavioural pattern category

A

an example is the observer pattern, a design where observable and observers are loosely coupled

136
Q

Give a description of the Creational pattern category

A

creational patterns involve object instantiation and provide a way to decouple client from objects it needs to instantiate

137
Q

Give a description of the Structural pattern category

A

structural patterns let you compose classes or objects into larger structures.

138
Q

Give a description of the Behavioural pattern category

A

behavioral patterns are concerned with how classes and objects interact and distribute responsibility
