What are some reasons for a non-developer to understand the technology stack? - ANSTo
determine what data is stored and if new requirements need additional data elements.
To know how and where data is used.
To communicate what data may be needed beyond what is in the base configuration.
To determine valid values or circumstances for the new data.
What are some examples of what can be configured in the User Interface? - ANSThe order of
fields, change labels, regroup fields (simple change).
Fields on a screen (moderate change).
Screens (complex change).
Screen-based logic (complex change).
What are some examples of what can be configured in the Data Model? - ANSInformation that
the base application does not store (add passport number).
Values for a Typelist (add valid values for AddressType or PhoneType).
Data to support regulatory requirements.
Why is it important for non-developers to understand the basics of the UI architecture and
components? - ANSSo that they can request changes to the UI that are consistent with the base
product architecture and communicate effectively with developers,
What are five common areas of the UI architecture? - ANS1. The Screen Area

What are some of the relationships between entities? - ANSForeign keys - a link to a single row
in another entity
Array keys - a link to multiple rows in another entity
Type keys - a link to a specific value in a typelist
Why should a non-developer have a basic understanding of application logic? - ANS- Most
projects require some changes to application logic

- Non-developers define requirements for business rules
Name two places where application logic exists. - ANSGosu rules
Business rules
The User Interface
Classes
Entity Names
What are two types of rules and who is responsible for developing each? - ANSGosu rules -
developers
Business rules - non-developers
What is the purpose of integration? - ANSIntegration allows two systems to exchange data or
perform work.
Why is it important for non-developers to have a basic understanding of integration? -
ANSNon-developers assist with documenting requirements including data mapping between the
two systems and UI changes and communicate the requirements to developers.
