Overview

Application development follows a structured cycle starting with foundational blocks, evolving through iterative refinement to shape the final product. While perfection isn't immediate, effective communication through design language is crucial.Visual artifacts, such as UML notations (e.g., Component diagrams, Class diagrams, Sequence diagrams), are pivotal in this process, alongside other forms like State diagrams, Flow charts, and Tree structures.This practice exam explores essential topics for aspiring Application Architects:1. Design principlesUnderstanding of fundamental design principles2. APIs, Data and InfrastructureUnderstanding of microservices architecture principles (independently deployable services, bounded contexts)Knowledge of different types of databases (relational, NoSQL) and their use casesUnderstanding of data modeling and database design principlesAwareness of infrastructure components (servers, networks, cloud services) and their impact on application architecture3. Security (Application, Data, User)Familiarity with user authentication and authorization mechanisms (OAuth, JWT)Ability to design and implement secure application architectures4. DatastoreConsideration of factors such as data consistency, scalability, and performance5. EstimationAbility to estimate effort, time, and resources required for application development and maintenanceFurthermore, a keen focus on application usability ensures that the final product not only meets technical requirements but also delivers an intuitive and satisfying user experience.This exam comprises of 60+ questions designed to assess proficiency for roles such as Application Architect or Owner. We intend to keep this list growing based on inputs and feedback.
