16 | | What is the difference between a link and an association? |
| | A) | A link connects two instances, while an association connects two classes. |
| | B) | A link is a transient association. |
| | C) | A link is an association between two entity classes. |
|
|
17 | | What is the significance of the directional arrow indicated on this diagram? Fig. 7.17 (1.0K) Fig. 7.17 |
| | A) | It shows the direction in which you should read the name of the association. |
| | B) | It shows the direction in which messages can be sent along the association. |
| | C) | It shows the order in which the objects will be connected when a link is created. |
|
|
18 | | What is the significance of the multiplicity of an association? |
| | A) | It denotes the number of different classes that can be linked together. |
| | B) | It constrains the number of objects of one participating class that can be linked to an object of the other class. |

19 | | Which of the following answers is the correct interpretation of the association multiplicities shown on this diagram? Fig. 7.19 (0.0K) Fig. 7.19 |
| | A) | A staff member need not be associated with any grades, or it can be associated with an indeterminate number of grades; a grade must be associated with one or more staff members. |
| | B) | A grade cannot be associated with a staff member but a staff member can be associated with a grade. |
| | C) | A grade need not be associated with any staff members, or it can be associated with an indeterminate number of staff members; a staff member must be associated with one or more grades. |
|
|
20 | | How do operations differ from methods? |
| | A) | A method is a particular implementation of an operation. |
| | B) | An operation is a particular implementation of a method. |

|
21 | | When do we not need to represent the whole system as a class in the analysis model? |
| | A) | When the users have not stated that this is a requirement. |
| | B) | When the system does not need to interact directly with other systems. |
| | C) | When the system does not need to encapsulate data or behaviour that applies only to the system as a whole. |
|
|

| | B) | An analysis class model that is independent of any particular use cases. |

|
|
23 | | One of the following is a bad guideline for deciding the class where an operation should be located. Which one? |
| | A) | The operation represents a service that objects of that class should provide to objects of other classes. |
| | B) | The operation needs to access or update data that is stored in another class that has an association with that class. |
| | C) | The operation needs to access or update data that is stored in an attribute of that class. |
|
|
24 | | What is the main purpose of the Class-Responsibility-Collaboration technique? |
| | A) | To decide which team members will be responsible for developing each part of the software. |
| | B) | To decide which classes of the system should be responsible for each use case. |
| | C) | To decide how responsibilities should be distributed among the classes of the system. |
|
|
25 | | Why is it often difficult to determine the most appropriate choice of responsibilities for each class? |
| | A) | Because there may be several alternatives that appear equally justified. |
| | B) | Because the developers may not know enough about how the users want the system to be designed. |
| | C) | Because members of the development team are often lazy and avoid responsibility as much as they can. |
|
|
26 | | The requirements of different use cases may suggest different operations for the same class. How do we resolve this? |
| | A) | We split the class so that there is one for each use case, and model each class with the particular operations required for its use case. |
| | B) | We include in the class all the operations that are suggested by all the use cases. |
| | C) | We model the class with only that subset of operations that applies to all use cases. |
|
|
27 | | Which of the following is an advantage of the use of a control class in realizing a use case? |
| | A) | A control class prevents users from being able to change the way that the entity classes work. |
| | B) | A control class reduces the need for entity classes to know anything about other entity classes unless this is directly relevant to their own responsibilities. |
| | C) | A control class allows the system to communicate with other systems on different networks. |
