Fundamental SOA & Service-Oriented Computing Questions and Answers

Question 1

Which of the following SOA myths are false? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

Options:

A.

"An application is considered service-oriented if it uses Web services."

B.

"It is required that you stick with a single SOA vendor platform in order to successfully achieve the strategic goals of service-oriented computing."

C.

"SOA projects always require enterprise-wide standardization and enterprise-wide global data models."

D.

"The successful adoption of SOA will help an organization become more agile and responsive."

Question 2

Service-oriented computing advocates establishing a technology architecture with increased vendor technology diversity, which means that service-oriented solutions need to be consistently built using different vendor technologies and products. This way, the failure of any one vendor technology or product will not bring down all services within a service inventory. Select the correct answer.

Options:

A.

True

B.

False

Question 3

Services are ideally designed to be:

Options:

A.

agnostic and reusable

B.

unidirectional and semi-granular

C.

linear and logistically decomposable

D.

returnable and non-standardized

Question 4

Which of the following is not a benefit of maintaining a vendor-neutral and business-driven context for a service-oriented architecture?

Options:

A.

Establish a technology architecture with a fixed scope and purpose that remains unchanged, regardless of how the business may need to change over time.

B.

Avoid establishing a technology architecture that will need to be replaced in the near future when it no longer adequately fulfills business requirements.

C.

Leverage new technological innovation in order to maximize the fulfillment of business requirements.

D.

Establish a technology architecture that can stay in alignment with how the business may need to change over time.

Question 5

Which of the following statements is false?

Options:

A.

A service is a unit of logic to which service-orientation has been applied to a meaningful extent.

B.

Services are designed to increase the need for integration.

C.

Services are the fundamental building blocks of service-oriented solutions.

D.

A service composition is comprised of services.

Question 6

The use of __________ services tends to __________ the size of service compositions.

Options:

A.

autonomous, increase

B.

stateless, decrease

C.

scalable, decrease

D.

agnostic, increase

Question 7

Which of the following statements are false? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

Options:

A.

Services are delivered into service inventories and are aggregated into service compositions.

B.

Services are delivered as service compositions that are aggregated into a set of service inventories.

C.

Services are delivered into service compositions that are composed by service inventories.

D.

Services are delivered as service inventories that are composed by other service inventories.

Question 8

Which of the following is an expected result of successfully adopting SOA?

Options:

A.

A natural increase in runtime performance that you will gain as a result of the fact that service compositions will often be comprised of a greater amount of individually participating programs (services) than traditional distributed applications.

B.

The fact that the existing IT organizational structure will not have to change because of how well a service-oriented enterprise fits into traditional IT departmental structures that are focused on project-centric application delivery.

C.

The tactical (short-term) focus of service-orientation, which allows for the initial rapid delivery of services without concerns about their subsequent governance.

D.

The strategic (long-term) target state that is attainable when many of the services delivered are interoperable and reusable, thereby allowing for them to be repeatedly composed in response to new and changing business requirements.

Question 9

A product or technology that is key to facilitating service discovery and service governance in general is a:

Options:

A.

visual service development tool

B.

business analysis tool

C.

service registry

D.

none of the above

Question 10

Below are four statements about business and technology alignment, as it pertains to service-oriented computing. Which of these statements is false?

Options:

A.

Business and technology alignment represents the extent to which an IT enterprise and its automated systems can mirror and evolve in alignment with the business.

B.

Service-oriented computing promotes the abstraction and accurate encapsulation and expression of business logic in services. This supports business and technology alignment.

C.

The pursuit of business and technology alignment can be supported by the collaboration of business analysts and technology experts during analysis and modeling phases.

D.

In order for an IT enterprise to increase business and technology alignment, its business analysts must become more technical and assume the responsibilities of technology experts so that they can independently design quality business services that take both business and technology considerations into account.

Question 11

The distinct ownership and governance requirements introduced by agnostic services can introduce the need for more __________ staff and less __________ staff.

Options:

A.

management-centric, administration-centric

B.

development-centric, quality assurance-centric

C.

enterprise-centric, project-centric

D.

development-centric, communication-centric

Question 12

Below are excerpts from four different SOA adoption strategy documents. Based on your understanding of SOA, service-orientation, and the goals of service-oriented computing, select the adoption strategy that is clearly the most likely to succeed:

Options:

A.

"As part of our planned transition toward service-orientation, we will continue to extend the existing legacy applications with transformation-centric middleware that will enable seamless integration and runtime conversion between the different data models and data formats used by these applications."

B.

"Each of our existing legacy applications already establishes a domain boundary that is defined by the purpose of the application. We are confident that by leveraging these pre-defined silo-based boundaries we can create a series of effective domain service inventories, each with a scope that corresponds to a legacy application boundary."

C.

"Our strategy fully supports the tactical (short-term) nature of service-oriented computing by de-emphasizing standardization and allowing different project teams to deliver services optimized to their respective requirements. This not only speeds the initial delivery of services, it further supports interoperability by enabling services to leverage established integration technologies."

D.

"Our strategy is to make the consistent application of service-orientation principles a priority in order to support the attainment of the goals of service-oriented computing. The primary justification for this approach is the fact that we have identified the goals of service-oriented computing to be in alignment with our own business goals."

Question 13

A common security consideration with service-oriented solutions is the need to apply security at the transport layer as opposed to the message layer. Select the correct answer.

Options:

A.

True

B.

False

Question 14

When migrating to a service-oriented computing platform you are working toward achieving a specific target environment. Which of the following statements about this target environment are true? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

Options:

A.

In this target environment, services establish a federated endpoint layer.

B.

In this target environment, services are naturally interoperable and composable.

C.

In this target environment, business logic is accurately expressed through services as a result of collaboration between business analysts and technology experts.

D.

This target environment helps the organization itself gain greater value from IT, because IT imposes less of a burden on the organization."

Question 15

Service-oriented architecture must be designed to be both integration-centric and silo-based.

Options:

A.

True

B.

False
