Hope you guys can help me find the three incorrect answers to this sample exam:
30) Which of the following are good practices to use while designing for reuse?

a) Define a persistence framework that provides services for persisting objects.

b) Use design patterns, wherein complete solutions are already defined.

c) Use controller objects to control the flow of processes in the system.

d) Assign responsibilities to classes such that coupling between them remains low.

e) Design classes with low cohesion.

Multiple Select - Please select all of the correct answers (this question has 2 correct choices).

Answer: C and D
29) Which of the following are true about implementing a system based on existing OOAD assets?

a) Due to constraints introduced by the target language, such as C++, Smalltalk, or Java, as well as physical packaging, the OO analysis model does not carry forward into detailed design and implementation.

b) The classes, methods, attributes, and relationships identified during the OO analysis carry forward into detailed design and implementation.

c) The OO analysis model is usually refactored later in the project.

Hi, Salvador,
30) Which of the following are good practices to use while designing for reuse?
C) controller can be designed for reuse, but not always so.
persistence framework (A)) is the answer
8) Based on the following statements from a domain expert on a project, which of the following are requirements that MUST be extracted?
Should be B and D, C is not a requirement.
you didn't give your answer for 9)
Not sure about 19)

OOOPS. My answer to question 9 was: A and C.
Likewise, I am pretty sure I answered question 8 with B and D, but I might have mistyped it while pasting the Q/A into a word document.
Are you saying that Question 30 should be anwered with an A and D (instead of C and D)?
