INTRODUCTION TO THE SELF-TEST OOAD/UML
With this test you can see for yourself if you attained the objectives of the OOAD/UML
course (or if you will profit from following it).
This test contains 20 questions. For each question you should mark only one choice,
unless indicated otherwise. A question is answered correctly, if only all correct choices
are marked.
You can find the right answers and guidelines for the evaluation at the end of this docu-
ment.

7. What can UML interfaces be used for?

O (a) to provide concrete classes with the stereotype <<interface>>

8. Consider the following design.

for all my OrderLines ol: Order OrderLine Article

tot =
tot + ol.getArticle().getPrice()
* 1
getQuantity()
* ol.getQuantity() getArticle()
total() getPrice()

How would the introduction of a subtotal() method in OrderLine improve the design?

O (a) It enhances the coherence of Article.

O (b) It reduces the coupling of Order.

O (c) It reduces the coherence of Order.

O (d) It enhances the coupling of Article.

9. What is correct about the following Statechart Diagram?

ON
H Idle
play
rew
stop
stop
Rewinding Playing

O (a) ‘ON’ is a concurrent state.

O (b) This Statechart is invalid because it contains no final state.

O (c) ‘play’, ‘stop’ and ‘rew’ are actions.

O (d) ‘ON’ is a superstate.

13. Which of the following are known refactorings (according to Fowler)?[2 answers]

[_] [a] Protect Variations

[_] [b] Replace Inheritance with Delegation

[_] [c] Replace Delegation with Inheritance

[_] [d] Introduce Association Class

14. If you need to show the physical relationship between software components and the hardware
in the delivered system, which diagram can you use?

O (a) component diagram

O (b) deployment diagram

O (c) class diagram

O (d) network diagram

15. What is a true statement about the following packages?

A B C

O (a) If package C changes, package B must be inspected for necessary changes, and if there
are any, package A may have to be adapted as well.

O (b) If package B changes, package A and package C must be inspected for necessary
changes.

O (c) Packages should be designed so that a change in one package does not have an effect
to other packages.

O (d) If package C changes, package A has to be examined (as well as B), because depend-
encies are transitive.

16. Given the following diagram, which method(s) should be implemented for the Account class?

a1:Account a2:Account john:Person

xfer(m:Money, a2)

check()

evaluation

O (c) The method doIt() must be implemented by Thing2, Thing3, Thing4 and Thing5.

O (d) There is no need for any class to implement doIt(),

because it is already implemented by Thing1.

Give yourself 1 point for each correctly answered question (for multiple answer ques-
tions, this means that all correct answers must be marked and no other choices).
If you answered less than 50% of the questions correctly, you will definitely profit from
following the OO analysis and design with UML course.
If you answered between 50% and 75% of the questions correctly, you know already
some concepts, but you will still learn a lot in the OO analysis and design with UML
course.
If you answered more than 75% correctly, then the OO analysis and design with UML
course is probably not useful for you any more: maybe you should consider the Patterns
in practice course.
