Exam 1: Fundamental SOA & Service-Oriented Computing (S90-01A)

The Universal SOA Commission (USOAC) has been standardizing the service-oriented architectural model since 1998. Their role is to regulate the marketplace to ensure that all usages of the "SOA" acronym for branding purposes are legitimate. They enforce this via product assessment and certification, a process that all of the major software vendors follow to obtain official USOAC certification.

Services can be referred to as __________ because of the enterprise-centric design considerations of service-orientation and SOA.

When planning a transition toward SOA, we are usually required to balance the __________ goals with the __________ requirements.

Which of the following is a recommended or common part of a service-oriented enterprise?

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

A fundamental means of achieving business and technology alignment in support of service-oriented computing is:

Service composition is important to the success of SOA initiatives because:

Non-agnostic solution logic is logic that is considered single-purpose because it is unique to a specific task, and therefore not useful to other tasks.  Select the correct answer.

XML and XML Schema are examples of:

A service-oriented solution can be comprised of a single service with a single service capability.

There can be different types or scopes of service-oriented architecture. For example, you could define separate architecture specifications for a service and a service inventory.

Service-oriented analysis and service-oriented design are typical phases of an SOA delivery lifecycle.

Service-oriented computing aims to increase an organization's responsiveness by allowing it to adapt to change more efficiently and effectively. This is known as:

__________ and __________ are used to classify and organize services within a service inventory.

Which of the following SOA myths are false?    SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

Below are four statements about business and technology alignment, as it pertains to service-oriented computing. Which of these statements is false?

Service-orientation supports the realization of the strategic goals associated with service-oriented computing.

A __________ can be part of a/an __________ which can be assembled from __________ within a/an __________.

When an organization cannot implement a single enterprise service inventory, it has the option to organize collections of services into multiple service inventories referred to as __________.

Service-oriented computing advocates a concept based on the creation of a service layer with standardized and unified endpoints (service contracts) while allowing individual service implementations to remain disparate and independently governed. This concept is known as:
