Computing Innovations Quiz

Which describes a computing innovation?

• A nonphysical software system with no hardware component

• A physical device that contains no embedded code

• A system combining hardware and software for tasks

• A theoretical concept lacking any real world application

Effective collaboration in developing a computing innovation means:

• Reflecting diversity of talents and views effectively equally

• Ensuring only one person makes all major decisions

• Focusing solely on technical specifications without collaboration

• Producing a solution more quickly with limited feedback

Including diverse perspectives during collaboration helps to avoid:

• Security vulnerabilities resulting from limited testing approaches

• Insufficient documentation created without user understanding included

• Unintentional bias that undermines overall solution fairness

• Loss of functionality caused by incomplete requirement gathering

Which of these is not an interpersonal skill practiced by teams?

• Consensus building through mutual agreement among team members

• Negotiation to reach shared understanding on important issues

• Encryption techniques used to secure private data communications

• Conflict resolution addressing disagreements effectively and respectfully

Pair programming is an example of which collaboration model?

• Two developers sharing one workstation while coding together

• Automated testing integration ensuring code meets quality standards

• Asynchronous feedback exchange through version control and reviews

• Version control branching allowing multiple development efforts concurrently

Which tool supports collaboration by allowing real-time sharing of ideas?

• Online code-review platforms supporting simultaneous code commentary sessions

• Local file storage on a single machine without network sharing

• Console-based text editors without integrated collaboration features included

• Hardware circuit simulators designed exclusively for offline prototyping tasks

Consultation with potential users during development helps to:

• Define the program’s purpose accurately based on needs

• Automate deployment procedures for continuous integration pipelines automatically

• Reduce overall testing time by skipping user feedback gathering

• Increase code complexity beyond maintainable development effort levels

Program inputs are defined as:

• Data sent to a computer for internal processing operations

• Comments added within program code for developer documentation purposes

• Instructions compiled into machine code executed on hardware devices

• Outputs displayed on a user interface after data processing completion

A code segment is:

• A standalone programming language with unique syntax rules defined

• A collection of program statements that perform specific functionality

• A compiled binary executable file ready for user execution tasks

• A set of hardware interface protocols used for device communication

Program behavior refers to:

• How a program functions during its execution process runtime

• The program’s source code comments describing internal implementation details

• The memory usage metrics of a running process over time

• The compilation time required to build the source files successfully
