Software Architecture Quiz

What is software architecture?

• A type of coding language

• A blueprint defining a system's structure and design

• A method for testing software

• A database management tool

Which of the following is NOT a key element of software architecture?

• System components

• Network latency

• Relationships between components

• Design principles

Why is scalability important in software architecture?

• It helps in increasing system speed

• It enables the system to handle changing user demands

• It allows the system to be more secure

• It prevents any software failures

Which of the following architecture types bundles all software components together as a single unit?

• Microservices

• Client-server

• Layered

• Monolithic

What does the microservices architecture emphasize?

• Centralized control

• Small, independent services

• Reduced system redundancy

• Combining layers into a single unit

In layered architecture, which layer usually handles data storage and retrieval?

• Presentation layer

• Business logic layer

• Data access layer

• Client layer

The client-server architecture is primarily used in:

• Desktop applications

• Embedded systems

• Distributed systems and web applications

• Gaming consoles

Which principle involves separating a system into layers or modules with distinct responsibilities?

• Modularity

• Abstraction

• Loose coupling

• Separation of concerns

What is loose coupling in software architecture?

• Strong dependencies between components

• Minimal dependencies between components

• Combining all modules into one system

• Making system components interchangeable

Which architectural style organizes a system into small, loosely coupled services?

• Layered

• Client-server

• Event-driven

• Microservices
