Service-oriented computing advocates a concept based on the creation of a service
layer with standardized and unified endpoints (service contracts) while allowing
individual service implementations to remain disparate and independently governed.
This concept is known as:
A. interoperability
B. transformation
C. federation
,D. isolation - Answer- c
Service-oriented computing aims to increase an organization's responsiveness by
allowing it to adapt to change more efficiently and effectively. This is known as:
A. organizational diversity
B. organizational agility
C. organizational federation
D. organizational interoperability - Answer- b
One of the fundamental characteristics of service-oriented architecture is:
A. business-driven
B. integration-centric
C. inventory-neutral
D. silo-driven - Answer- a
By applying a __________ strategic scope to the technology architecture, it can be kept
in constant synch with how the business evolves over time.
A. consistently decreasing
B. middleware-centric
C. vendor-driven
D. None of the above answers correctly complete this sentence. - Answer- d
Why is it recommended to establish a service-oriented architectural model that is
vendor-neutral?
A. Because a vendor-neutral architectural model provides you with the opportunity to
fully leverage and form dependencies on proprietary (vendor-specific) vendor features.
B. Because a vendor-neutral architectural model provides you with the opportunity to
build service-oriented solutions only with open source technologies, thereby avoiding
the use of vendor technologies altogether.
C. Because a vendor-neutral architectural model provides you with the freedom to
diversify its implementation by leveraging multiple vendor technologies as required.
D. A vendor-neutral service-oriented architectural model is not recommended. - Answer-
c
Service Autonomy, Service Statelessness, and Service Loose Coupling are examples
of:
A. service-oriented architecture types
B. service-orientation design principles
C. service models
D. none of the above - Answer- b
Which of the following statements is true?
A. Service-orientation is a revolutionary design paradigm comprised solely of new
design techniques and practices never before used in IT's history.
B. The only known historical influence of the service-orientation design paradigm is
procedural programming.
, C. The service-orientation design paradigm has been influenced by several established
design paradigms and platforms.
D. None of the above statements are true. - Answer- c
When enterprise-wide standardization is unattainable, multiple domain service
inventories may need to be created instead of:
A. multiple enterprise service inventories
B. a single enterprise service inventory
C. multiple enterprise service registries
D. a single enterprise service registry - Answer- b
The use of __________ services tends to __________ the size of service compositions.
A. autonomous, increase
B. stateless, decrease
C. scalable, decrease
D. agnostic, increase - Answer- d
The distinct ownership and governance requirements introduced by agnostic services
can introduce the need for more __________ staff and less __________ staff.
A. management-centric, administration-centric
B. development-centric, quality assurance-centric
C. enterprise-centric, project-centric
D. development-centric, communication-centric - Answer- c
Which of the following statements does not make sense?
A. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it helps increase the quantity of
integration projects that may be required to accommodate new business requirements,
thereby fostering agility.
B. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it enables services to exchange data
without having to resort to transformation technologies.
C. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it is fundamental to enabling services to
be repeatedly composed.
D. Intrinsic interoperability is important because one of the goals of service-oriented
computing is to increase intrinsic interoperability. - Answer- a
Which of the following statements is true?
A. To apply service-orientation requires the use of Web services.
B. Web services are required in order to build service-oriented solutions.
C. When discussing SOA and service-oriented computing, the term "Web service" must
always be synonymous with (have the same meaning as) the term "service".
D. None of these statements are true. - Answer- d
Which of the following statements is true?
A. "Contract first" design is important to SOA because it makes you think about service
contract design options at the same time that you are building the underlying service
logic.
