What is the primary purpose of an application development framework?

  1. To provide a structured approach to software development.

  2. To enhance the performance of an application.

  3. To simplify the deployment process of an application.

  4. To improve the user interface of an application.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An application development framework offers a standardized set of tools, libraries, and components that facilitate the development process, enabling developers to follow a structured approach and streamline the development workflow.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of application architecture?

  1. Monolithic Architecture

  2. Microservices Architecture

  3. Client-Server Architecture

  4. Event-Driven Architecture


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Event-Driven Architecture is not a common type of application architecture. It is a design pattern that involves the use of events to trigger actions within an application.

What is the primary goal of the testing phase in the application development lifecycle?

  1. To identify and fix bugs in the application.

  2. To ensure that the application meets the requirements.

  3. To improve the performance of the application.

  4. To enhance the user experience of the application.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of the testing phase is to identify and fix bugs in the application to ensure its stability and reliability before deployment.

Which of the following is NOT a common programming paradigm?

  1. Object-Oriented Programming

  2. Procedural Programming

  3. Functional Programming

  4. Declarative Programming


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Declarative Programming is not a common programming paradigm. It is a programming style that focuses on expressing the logic of a program in terms of its desired outcome rather than the specific steps to achieve it.

What is the purpose of a version control system in application development?

  1. To track changes to the application's codebase.

  2. To facilitate collaboration among developers working on the same project.

  3. To enable easy deployment of the application to different environments.

  4. To improve the performance of the application.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A version control system allows developers to track changes to the application's codebase, enabling them to collaborate effectively, revert to previous versions if necessary, and maintain a history of the project's development.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of database management system?

  1. Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)

  2. NoSQL Database Management System

  3. Hierarchical Database Management System

  4. Network Database Management System


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Network Database Management System is not a common type of database management system. It is an older data model that organizes data in a network structure, where records are linked together based on their relationships.

What is the purpose of a software development methodology?

  1. To provide a structured approach to software development.

  2. To improve the quality of the software product.

  3. To reduce the cost of software development.

  4. To accelerate the software development process.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A software development methodology provides a structured approach to software development, defining a set of processes, practices, and guidelines that help teams work efficiently and effectively to deliver high-quality software products.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of software testing?

  1. Unit Testing

  2. Integration Testing

  3. System Testing

  4. Acceptance Testing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Acceptance Testing is not a common type of software testing. It is a type of testing performed by the end-users or stakeholders to ensure that the software meets their requirements and expectations.

What is the primary purpose of a compiler in application development?

  1. To convert high-level programming language code into machine code.

  2. To optimize the performance of the application.

  3. To generate documentation for the application.

  4. To create a user interface for the application.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A compiler is a program that translates high-level programming language code into machine code, which can be directly executed by the computer's processor.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of software deployment?

  1. On-Premises Deployment

  2. Cloud Deployment

  3. Hybrid Deployment

  4. Container Deployment


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Container Deployment is not a common type of software deployment. It involves packaging an application and its dependencies into a container image, which can be deployed and run on any platform that supports container technology.

What is the purpose of a debugger in application development?

  1. To identify and fix bugs in the application.

  2. To improve the performance of the application.

  3. To generate documentation for the application.

  4. To create a user interface for the application.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A debugger is a tool that helps developers identify and fix bugs in the application by allowing them to step through the code line by line, inspect variables, and identify the source of the problem.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of software license?

  1. Open Source License

  2. Proprietary License

  3. Freeware License

  4. Shareware License


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Shareware License is not a common type of software license. It is a type of license that allows users to try out software for a limited time or with limited functionality before purchasing it.

What is the primary purpose of a software requirements specification (SRS) document?

  1. To define the functional and non-functional requirements of the software.

  2. To provide a detailed design of the software architecture.

  3. To create a user manual for the software.

  4. To generate test cases for the software.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A software requirements specification (SRS) document is a formal document that defines the functional and non-functional requirements of the software, providing a clear understanding of what the software is expected to do and how it should perform.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of software architecture pattern?

  1. Model-View-Controller (MVC)

  2. Layered Architecture

  3. Microservices Architecture

  4. Event-Driven Architecture


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Event-Driven Architecture is not a common type of software architecture pattern. It is a design pattern that involves the use of events to trigger actions within an application.

What is the purpose of a software design document (SDD)?

  1. To provide a detailed design of the software architecture.

  2. To define the functional and non-functional requirements of the software.

  3. To create a user manual for the software.

  4. To generate test cases for the software.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A software design document (SDD) is a formal document that provides a detailed design of the software architecture, describing the components, modules, and their interactions, as well as the overall structure and organization of the software system.
