Sample Questions for IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) Exam

Hi all,
I have started this new series in which I would be presenting to you some of the certification exam questions for IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP). Please note that I have taken maximum care to accurately provide the answers. However, I am not responsible for any unforeseen error here.

1. What statement is correct concerning change management?

• You need it only on the later iterations, after the end of Elaboration.
• You must change manage all project artifacts, not just source code.
• All the changes to be managed originate with the customer and other external entities.
• It is the practice of preventing changes to the requirements after the end of Elaboration.

Correct Answer: B

2. Which of the following statements does not characterize a use case? (Select all that apply.)

• Is a complete and meaningful flow of events.
• Is initiated by an actor to invoke functionality.
• A description of the user interface
• Models a dialogue between an actor and the system.

Correct Answer: C

3. Which of the following help to define an iteration plan?

• A list of risks you must address by the end of the iteration
• Development-organization assessment
• A list of scenarios or use cases you must complete by the end of the iteration
• The current status of the project

Correct Answer: B

4. Which of the following statements characterize project metrics?

• Should not be collected on early iterations.
• Are useful in tracking trends in important variables such as rework.
• Are the basis for iteration assessment.
• Provide insight into progress and quality.

Correct Answer: A

5. What does continuous integration mean in the context of the iterative lifecycle?

• Integration only for every external release
• Integration only at the end of Elaboration, Construction, and Transition
• Integration only at the end of Elaboration and Construction
• Integration at the end of every iteration

Correct Answer: D
