1) Which of the following are effective ways to manage an OO project?
a)Organize development teams along the lines of the packages.

d)Organize the user's guide along the lines of the packages.
Answers A,D
5) The design for a complex application with a large number of classes has just been completed. Which of the following is the BEST approach for unit-testing the classes?
a)Use the package diagrams to group classes logically and perform unit-testing on a package-by-package basis.
b)Use activity diagrams to identify parallel behavior and test classes that use threads.
c)Use the interaction diagrams to step through the interactions between the classes and perform visual inspection of the code to identify discrepancies.
d)Use the class diagram to ensure that the classes have been correctly coded and perform unit-testing for each class association and for each class.

d)Dividing the application architecture into Model, View and Controller layers leads to flexibility.

25) When creating a subclass, which of the following are TRUE?
a)The selected superclass should be chosen because it has some methods the subclass can reuse, even if others do not apply.
b)The class name should normally be a qualification of its superclass' name.
c)The subclass should be of the same type as all of its superclasses.
d)The superclass should be marked as abstract.
Answer : B,C

26) Which of the following are recommended when developing an OO system?

b)Use interfaces for types or roles that objects may play, independent of their location in the class hierarchy.
c)Apply design patterns where applicable in the system.
d)Name classes based on their design specifics, such as "array" or "queue".
Answer : A,B,C
34) Refer to the designs below:- In Design #1, the Catalog object has a getProducts() method, which returns a xx collection object, such as a Dictionary or array, containing all the Products the company sells.- In Design #2, the Catalog object has a getProductNumbered(anIdentifier) method, which returns the Product with the specified unique identifier.Considering a requirement to get a specific product, which of the following BEST characterizes the two designs?
a)Both designs maintain the objects' encapsulation and reduce coupling by accessing state data via methods only and not directly.
b)Both designs break the objects' encapsulation, adding brittle coupling.
c)Design #1 adds brittle coupling. Design #2 maintains the encapsulation of the Catalog, making future design changes easier.
d)Design #1 maintains the encapsulation of the Catalog by hiding the implementation details in the getProducts() method. Design #2 breaks the encapsulation of the Catalog since it uses anIdentifier as the Product key.
Answer : C
37) When it comes time to write code, an interaction diagram can quickly provide information on which of the following?

[Femi Obikunle]

Hello Himadri,
Below is my opinion on what I think would be the right answers:
1)A,C
5)A
22)D,E
24)A,D
25)B,C
26)A,B,C,
37)B,C,E
34)D

[Merlin M Koppula]

Himadri,
My choices of answers are:
1. a,c
In a usecase driven approach, userguide is prepared in line with usecase. (see Larman, I think chapter 6)
22. b,c
When I try to fix problems with parallel behavio, I try to look at processes and objects. So, I chose state diagrams and process view. I can not fully explain why (e)collaboration diagrams can not be the answer. However. I must mention that when I took the exam, I got only 94%. So, it is possible that this is one of my wrong answers.
Femi, can you please explain your answers?
34. c
There was a lot of discussion about this question in one of the previous posts. The correct answer is c.
37. b,c,e
Himadri/Femi,
Can you explain the reason for your answers?

In addition to these questions, I have the following question that I would like to check with you:
Refer to the exhibits to answer the question. What are the names of missing classes XXX and YYY in exhibit below ? (choose one)

a) XXX = DeliverySchedule, YYY = Supplier
b) XXX = Supplier, YYY = DeliverySchedule
c) XXX = PreferredSupplier, YYY = DeliverySchedule
d) XXX = DeliverySchedule, XXX = PreferredSupplier
I chose the answer (b), but I have some doubts that (c) could be correct too. Please let me know your choice on this one and any reasons that you could offer.
Thanks.

[Himadri Mukherjee]

Thanks Femi and Merlin for your prompt response.
Merlin, for Ques 37 my answer also was B.Since from sequence diagram it's evident that both object XXX and YYY will have to have a method named nextDeliveryFor().But PreferredSupplier donot contain nextDeliveryFor(),so it can be ruled out.

[Merlin M Koppula]

But PreferredSupplier donot contain nextDeliveryFor(),so it can be ruled out.
But, PreferredSupplier inherits from Supplier. So an object could send a message 'nextDeliveryFor()' to PreferredSupplier !?
Thanks.

[Ram Dhan Yadav K]

Hi,
Hi it can be PreferredSupplier also. In a normal business scenario preferred supplier is usually preferred for shipping products.
Merlin, i would suggest you to do a separate post of this, so that it can be answered by experts of this group.

[Sunny Liu]

I will vote "C",
From my common sense, I only order things from preferred retailer, it does not matter what is in behind.
PreferredSupplier is subclass of Supplier, So it also inherit that method from Supplier,

[Junilu Lacar]

I am leaning towards "B". There is nothing in the diagram or the text of the question that suggests anything about specifically choosing a preferred supplier. Rather, all it says is that 50 appliances products are from 10 different suppliers. Any one or none of these suppliers may have preferred status.
Businesswise, you may have preferred suppliers but other forces may influence the need for delivery such as high demand and low supply. In this case, you may want to choose the supplier who can deliver faster, regardless of his preferred status.
The point is, there is no specific requirement stated, so I would go with the more general answer. Perhaps another diagram would show the need to select a preferred supplier.
My $0.02
Junilu

[Sunny Liu]

Finally, I thought Junilu is right, He explained correctly.
Cheers

5. I opt A
Don, could you please explain your answer?
22. I opt B,D
A controversial question. Altogether 4 votes out there - BD, DE and BC. Merlin, Can you elaborate on what is process view? Is it an OOAD artifact?
Sunny even suggests that IBM's answer is C,D. Need further discussion.
34. I opt C
Another controversial question. Two vote for D and Three(including me) vote for C. Need further discussion.
