66. Which of the following statements are true about the Strategy pattern?

  1. Define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
  2. The "context" part of the design that deals with the behavior at an abstract level. The behavior is thus referred to as the "strategy" for accomplishing a task. The context is the "invariant" part of the design in that its behaviors do not change from situation to situation. Thus it can be encapsulated into a single object.
  3. The "strategy" part of the design captures the "variant" nature of the design where the particular actions are chosen dynamically in the run time. The strategy section consists of an abstract strategy class and a series of concrete strategy subclasses. Each subclass represents a possible specific action that could be taken when the strategy is executed by the context. The variant nature of the design has been abstracted and captured in a tree hierarchy.

  1. A representation of real world conceptual classes and software components. Normally, it does not contain operations
  2. Domain Modeling is driven by use cases as they become known. If a use case appears, the modeling team should look at it to assess whether all elements are captured in the domain model.
  3. It is better to under specify a domain model in order to communicate with business users effectively
  4. Class identification can be done through the identification of nouns in the use case text or using a conceptual class category list.

70. Which of the following statement is false?

  1. Realization is also known as Interface Implementation and indicates that one class implements beheavior specified by another. Realization is deliberately similar to generalization. It indicates that one class implements some behavior specified by another.
  2. It is permissible for one implementation class to realize another, this means that the realizing class must conform to the interface but need not use inheritance. In a specification model there is no difference between realization and subtyping.
  3. Dependency relationship indicates that one element has knowledge of another element. In class diagrams the dependency relationship is useful to depict non-attribute visibility between classes, in other words, parameter, global, or locally declared visibility. E.g. Class A - -> Class B (dotted line)

74. Which of the following statements are false?

  1. Classification refers to the relationship between an object and its type.
  2. In single classification an object belongs to a single type that may inherit from supertypes.
  3. In multiple classification, an object may be described by several types that are not necessarily connected by inheritance.
  4. Multiple classification is different from multiple inheritance. Multiple inheritance says that a type may have many supertypes but a single type must be defined for each object. Multiple classification allows multiple types for an object without defining a specific type for the purpose.
  5. If you use multiple classification you need to be sure that you make it clear which combinations are legal. You do this by labelling a generalization line with a discriminator role that is an indication of the basis of the subtyping.
  6. A good convention is to have all subclasses that use one discriminator roll up to one triangle.

77. Which of the following statements are false?

  1. Both Aggregation and Composition are a kind of "part-whole" relationship (association)
  2. Aggregation has a notion of "ownership" or "has" relationship.
  3. If the same item can be associated with multiple containers of the same type, then use a regular association.
  4. A student can appear in multiple classes. This is an example of Composition relationship
  5. If an item can only appear in one container (of that type), use a composition.
  6. Composition is a special form of aggregation. In a composition, the items "belong" to the container, while in a standard association, the items are merely associated with the container.

78. Which of the following statements are false about Association?

  1. From a conceptual perspective associations represent conceptual relationships between classes.
  2. During domain modeling an association is not a statement about data flows, instance variables, or object connections in software; it is a statement that a relationship is meaningful in a conceptual sense.
  3. From the specification perspective associations represent responsibilities. These responsibilities imply data structure.
  4. An association in Design Model is translated as the source class having an attribute that refers to an instance of the target class. Associations in Domain Model are used only to enhance the comprehension of the problem domain.
  5. From the implementation perspective associations represent references between the related classes.

  3. If navigability exists only in one direction we call the association a unidirectional association. If the association doesn't have navigability arrows then is bi-directional.
  4. Common situations suggesting a need to define an association with navigability adornment from A to B are: A sends a message to B, A creates an instance to B, A needs to maintain a connection to B.
