In the right order, Choose the Five (5) Phases of Designing Viewpoints

Defining the scope, Creating the views, Validating the views, Obtaining commitment from key stakeholders, Informing other stakeholders

This is typically used at the start of a design trajectory, where not everything needs to be detailed. This viewpoint avoids the impression that the architectural design is already final

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Organization Viewpoint?

This focuses on the relationships of actors within an environment. It is useful in determining external dependencies and collaborations.

Actor Association Viewpoint

This shows the main business functions of an organization and their relationships in terms of the flow of information, value, or goods. It also provides high-level insight into the general operations of the company, which can be used to identify necessary competencies or structure an organization according to its main activities.

Business Function Viewpoint

This depicts the value of products to the customers or other external parties involved.

Product Viewpoint

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Product Viewpoint?

This is used to show that business services are realized by the underlying business processes in an organization.

This is used to show that business services are realized by the underlying business processes in an organization. This bridges the product viewpoint and the business process viewpoint.

Service Realization Viewpoint

This is used to show the detailed relationship of one (1) or more business processes with each other and/or their surroundings.

Business Process Association Viewpoint

This encompasses the higher-level structure and composition of one (1) or more business processes.

Business Process Viewpoint

This shows the structure of the information used in the enterprise or a specific business process application in terms of data type or class structure.

Information Structure Viewpoint

This is typically used to create an overview of the application landscape in a company. It also shows the relationships of applications in a company, including the dependencies in terms of information flow or the services a company offers

Application Association Viewpoint

This describes how applications are used to support one (1) or more business processes. This can be used in designing an application by identifying the services needed by the business processes and other applications.

Application Usage Viewpoint

This describes the internal behavior of an application or a component. This can be used in identifying overlaps between different applications.

Application Behavior Viewpoint

This shows the structure of one (1) or more applications or components, including the associated data.

Application Structure Viewpoint

This comprises the hardware and software infrastructure wherein the application layer depends. This contains the physical devices, networks, and supporting system software such as the operating system, databases, and middleware

Technology Viewpoint

This shows how the software and hardware infrastructure support applications. This plays an important role in the performance analysis and scalability of the technological aspect of the enterprise.

Technology Usage Viewpoint

This shows how one (1) or more applications are deployed on the technical infrastructure. This includes the logical mapping of application and components onto the technological layer of the enterprise architecture.

Implementation and Deployment Viewpoint

This contains equipment such as the physical machine, tools, and/or instruments that can create, use, store, move, or transform materials. Interconnectivity within and between facilities are also specified.

Physical Viewpoint

This analysis requires accurate and reliable input data, while clearly defining what exactly is to be measured.

Quantitative Analysis

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Quantitative Analysis?

It is a process of studying and evaluating the current performance of a particular system, application, project, design, scenario, or an employee in comparison with the objectives or goals that were set to properly address and resolve problems and deficiencies

Which statement is BEST DESCRIBES Performance Analysis?

This focuses on the evaluation of management processes within a business. Different modeling tools provide support and offer possible solutions for this analysis through event simulations.

Business Layer Performance Analysis

This focuses on the performance engineering evaluation of software applications.

Application Layer Performance Analysis

This focuses on the performance evaluation of computer systems and communication systems, including the technical infrastructure domains.

Technology Layer Performance Analysis

It is the time between issuing a request and receiving the result

Response Time

The time required to complete one (1) instance of a process

Completion Time

The amount of time wherein actual work is performed to produce a specific product or result.

Processing Time

The number of transactions or requests that a system completes per unit of time

Throughput

The percentage of the operational time that a resource is in use

Utilization

What is the VIEW POINT of User View?

What is the VIEW POINT of Process View?

Process owner, operations manager

What is the VIEW POINT of Product view?

Product manager, operations manager

What is the VIEW POINT of System view?

System owner, system manager

What is the VIEW POINT of Resource view?

Resource manager, capacity planner

It is performed to gain insight into the functional aspect of an enterprise architecture. It is used to understand how a system conforms to an architecture in order to find the impact of a change on an architecture or validate the correctness of an architecture.

Functional Analysis

This analysis utilizes description logics, which are knowledge representation languages tailored to express concepts and hierarchies on an enterprise architecture.

Static (Structural) Analysis

This analysis is based on formal methods such as process algebras and data flow networks. This analysis based on formal methods can primarily be considered as qualitative analysis, which can detect logical errors, lead to better consistency, and/or improve the logic of models.

Dynamic (Behavioral) Analysis

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Static (Structural) Analysis?

This analysis is based on formal methods such as process algebras and data flow networks.
