SOA Certified Professional Fundamental SOA & Service-Oriented Computing Sample Questions:

1. I anticipate building larger service compositions comprised of more services. How will this likely affect performance and infrastructure?

A) It will likely increase performance demands and require an increase in infrastructure investment.
B) It will likely increase performance demands and require a reduction in infrastructure investment.
C) It will not affect performance or infrastructure.
D) It will likely reduce performance demands and require an increase in infrastructure investment.

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

A) Services benefit from up-front analysis because this allows them to be modeled before they are developed and deployed.
B) Services benefit from a "contract first" approach because this allows the contract to be the first part of the service that is installed and further enables the contract to be subsequently changed without impact to service consumers.
C) Services benefit from being concurrently invoked by different service compositions because this decreases their performance requirements while increasing their availability.
D) Services benefit from design standardization because this supports service-oriented computing goals, such as Increased Intrinsic Interoperability.

3. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Integration is the effort required to enable interoperability. A goal of service-oriented computing is to increase intrinsic interoperability, thereby reducing the need for integration.
B) Interoperability is the effort required to enable integration. A goal of service-oriented computing is to increase intrinsic integration, thereby reducing the need for interoperability.
C) Interoperability is the effort required to enable integration. A goal of service-oriented computing is to increase intrinsic interoperability, thereby reducing the need for integration.
D) Integration is the effort required to enable interoperability. A goal of service-oriented computing is to increase intrinsic integration, thereby reducing the need for interoperability.

4. 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

A) This target environment helps the organization itself gain greater value from IT, because IT imposes less of a burden on the organization."
B) In this target environment, business logic is accurately expressed through services as a result of collaboration between business analysts and technology experts.
C) In this target environment, services establish a federated endpoint layer.
D) In this target environment, services are naturally interoperable and composable.

5. Two common, yet opposing SOA delivery approaches are:

A) bottom-up and upside-down
B) upside-down and left-to-right
C) top-down and left-to-right
D) none of the above
