TOGAF Practice Test 1
Which one of the following best describes the TOGAF standard?
A. A framework and method for architecture development
B. An architecture pattern
C. A method for developing Technology Architectures
D. A method for IT Governance - answer A - This is the best answer. The TOGAF
standard is a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools - for
developing an Enterprise Architecture.
Which part of the TOGAF Library contains broadly applicable information relating to the
subject of the TOGAF framework or Enterprise?
A. Foundation Documents
B. Generic Guidance and Techniques
C. Industry-Specific Guidance and Techniques
D. Organization-Specific Guidance and Techniques - answer A - Section 1 of the
TOGAF Library, Foundation Documents, contains broadly applicable
information relating to the subject of the TOGAF framework or Enterprise Architecture.
According to the TOGAF standard, all of the following are suggested characteristics of
an
architecture framework, except __________
A. A common vocabulary
B. A list of recommended standards
C. A method for designing a target state of the enterprise in terms of building blocks
D. A set of structures which can be used to develop a broad range of architectures
E. A software development lifecycle method - answerE - An architecture framework is a
foundational structure, or set of structures, which can be used for developing a broad
range of different architectures. It should describe a method for designing a target state
of the enterprise in terms of a set of building blocks, and for showing how the building
blocks fit together. It should contain a set of tools and provide a common vocabulary. It
should also include a list of recommended standards and compliant products that can
be used to implement the building blocks.
Which of the TOGAF Architecture Development phases includes the development of
Data and Application Architectures?
A. Phase A
B. Phase B
C. Phase C
D. Phase D
, E. Phase E - answerC - Phase C: Information Systems Architectures describes the
development of Information Systems Architectures for an architecture project, including
the development of Data and Application Architectures.
Which one of the following does the Architecture Content Framework describe as a
work product that is contractually specified, formally reviewed, and signed off by the
stakeholders?
A. An artifact
B. A building block
C. A catalog
D. A deliverable
E. A matrix - answerD - A deliverable is a work product that is contractually specified
and in turn formally reviewed, agreed, and signed off by the stakeholders. Deliverables
represent the output of projects and those deliverables that are in documentation form
will typically be archived at completion of a project, or transitioned into an Architecture
Repository as a reference model, standard, or snapshot of the Architecture Landscape
at a point in time.
Which of the following best completes the sentence: The Enterprise Continuum
__________
A. describes a database of open industry standards
B. is an architecture framework
C. is a technical reference model
D. provides a method for architecture development
E. provides methods for classifying artifacts - answerE - The Enterprise Continuum is a
model providing methods for classifying architecture and solution artifacts as they
evolve from generic Foundation Architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures.
The Enterprise Continuum comprises two complementary concepts: the Architecture
Continuum and the Solutions Continuum.
According to the TOGAF standard, in which ADM phase does the initial implementation
planning occur?
A. Phase A: Architecture Vision
B. Phase B: Business Architecture
C. Phase C: Information Systems Architectures
D. Phase D: Technology Architecture
E. Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions - answerE - Phase E: Opportunities &
Solutions conducts initial implementation planning and the identification of delivery
vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases.
According to the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the reason why the first
execution of an ADM cycle will be more difficult than later cycles?
A. . Because there are few architecture assets available
B. Because of lack of governance
C. Because of insufficient trained architecture practitioners
