Q51.
How does the architecting process work in architecture design?

a.

A few items from the backlog are taken and used to transform the architecture developed so far

b.

The architecting process does not work

c.

The backlog drives the project

d.

The requirements are used to transform the architecture

Discuss
Answer: (a).A few items from the backlog are taken and used to transform the architecture developed so far Explanation:In each step of the architecting process, one or a few items from the backlog are taken and used to transform the architecture developed so far.
Q52.
What is the main goal of architecture design?

a.

To present a mathematical proof

b.

To solve a user's problem

c.

To present a creative process

d.

To present a rational reconstruction of the process

Discuss
Answer: (b).To solve a user's problem Explanation:During design, the system is decomposed into parts that each have a lower complexity than the system as a whole, while the parts together solve the user’s problem.
Q53.
Who drives the architecture design process?

a.

The design methods.

b.

The architect's experience.

c.

The external parties.

d.

The design iteration process.

Discuss
Answer: (b).The architect's experience. Explanation:The architecture design process is "very much driven by the architect's experience" rather than by design methods.
Q54.
What happens to the rationale behind the solutions chosen in architecture design?

a.

It is documented.

b.

It is lost forever.

c.

It resides only in the head of the few people associated with them.

d.

Both b and c

Discuss
Answer: (d).Both b and c Explanation:The rationale behind the solutions chosen in architecture design is usually lost forever or resides only in the head of the few people associated with them.
Q55.
What is the main reason why it becomes difficult to trace the reasons behind certain design decisions?

a.

The architect is unaware of the decision.

b.

The design decision is implicit.

c.

The reasoning behind the design decision is not documented.

d.

The architect may have personal reasons to hide the reasoning.

Discuss
Answer: (c).The reasoning behind the design decision is not documented. Explanation:The main reason why it becomes difficult to trace the reasons behind certain design decisions is that the reasoning behind the design decision is not documented.
Q56.
What is the result of not documenting the design decisions in architecture?

a.

The reasoning behind the design decisions is lost forever.

b.

The reasoning behind the design decisions is easily accessible.

c.

The reasoning behind the design decisions is stored in the heads of a few people associated with them.

d.

The reasoning behind the design decisions is documented and stored somewhere.

Discuss
Answer: (a).The reasoning behind the design decisions is lost forever. Explanation:Much of the rationale behind the solutions is usually lost forever, or resides only in the head of the few people associated with them, if they are still around.
Q57.
What is the main issue with undocumented design decisions in architecture?

a.

It becomes difficult to trace the reasons for certain design decisions.

b.

It is not possible to undo design decisions.

c.

Design decisions are easily traceable.

d.

There is no issue with undocumented design decisions.

Discuss
Answer: (a).It becomes difficult to trace the reasons for certain design decisions. Explanation:At a later stage, it then becomes difficult to trace the reasons of certain design decisions.
Q58.
What is the reason for not documenting the reasoning behind design decisions in architecture?

a.

It is implicit knowledge that the architect is unaware of.

b.

It is explicit knowledge but undocumented.

c.

The reasoning is hidden for tactical company reasons or personal reasons.

d.

All of the above.

Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the above. Explanation:Different types of undocumented design decisions, including the design decision being implicit, explicit but undocumented, and explicit and explicitly undocumented.
Q59.
What is an illusion in regards to documenting design decisions?

a.

Documenting all design decisions is important

b.

It is not possible to document all design decisions

c.

Documenting design decisions takes no time and effort

d.

All design decisions are equally important

Discuss
Answer: (a).Documenting all design decisions is important Explanation:It is an illusion to want to document all design decisions as there are far too many of them and not all of them are important.
Q60.
What is a design decision in Software Architecture?

a.

A design issue

b.

A choice from among a number of alternatives

c.

A set of design solutions

d.

A description of a problem

Discuss
Answer: (b).A choice from among a number of alternatives Explanation:A design decision as addressing one or more issues that are relevant for the problem at hand and being a choice from among a number of alternatives.
