Section 25.3 Quiz: Algorithms, documentation, and resources

1. Which of the following are key types of development artefacts that should be maintained throughout a project?

   • Requirements documentation and design documents {data-correct}
   • Code documentation and testing artefacts {data-correct}
   • Marketing materials and user feedback
   • Source code files only

2. What is the primary purpose of maintaining “living documentation”?

   • To create static documents that never change
   • To keep documents current with code changes {data-correct}
   • To reduce the number of documents needed
   • To eliminate the need for code comments

3. When documenting external library dependencies, which information should be included?

   • Library name and version {data-correct}
   • License type and restrictions {data-correct}
   • Purpose and functionality used {data-correct}
   • Only the installation command

4. Which license types are typically compatible with an MIT-licensed project?

   • MIT License {data-correct}
   • BSD License {data-correct}
   • Apache License {data-correct}
   • GPL License

5. What is a key security consideration when managing project dependencies?

   • Using only the newest versions of all libraries
   • Regularly scanning for known vulnerabilities {data-correct}
   • Avoiding all third-party libraries
   • Installing dependencies without version constraints

6. Which of the following are typical back-end technology components?

   • Web servers (Apache, Nginx) {data-correct}
   • Databases (MySQL, MongoDB) {data-correct}
   • API frameworks (Express.js, Django) {data-correct}
   • Web browsers and mobile apps

7. What is the primary role of an API Gateway in back-end architecture?

   • To store application data permanently
   • To route requests and manage authentication {data-correct}
   • To generate user interface components
   • To compile source code into executables

8. Which factor is most important when selecting a database technology for a project?

   • The most popular option currently available
   • Data structure and scalability requirements {data-correct}
   • The lowest cost option
   • The technology the team used in their last project

9. What information should be included in a comprehensive dependency security review?

   • Inventory of all direct and transitive dependencies {data-correct}
   • Vulnerability scanning results {data-correct}
   • License compatibility assessment {data-correct}
   • Only dependencies with known security issues

10. Why is it important to understand back-end contributions to software success?

    • Back-end systems provide data management and security {data-correct}
    • They enable informed architectural decisions {data-correct}
    • Back-end is always more important than front-end
    • Understanding back-end eliminates the need for front-end knowledge
