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
[OK] minus(m)

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.

20. d
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.
