Learning & explanation

Learning & explanation

Learning & explanation

Socratic questioning

Architecture & structure

UML

Which UML view best answers “who sends which messages during a request”? Not attempted

Write a requirement for a duplicate confirmed workshop registration. Not attempted

Requirements & behavior

BCP 14 requirement levels

Which keyword indicates a genuine implementation option under this convention? Not attempted
Does writing “MUST be fast” make the requirement measurable? Not attempted
A critical source reference is written as “the report MAY include provenance.” What needs review? Not attempted

Requirements & behavior

Gherkin

Which Then statement best checks the duplicate-registration rule? Not attempted
A .feature file exists but has no step definitions. What can you claim? Not attempted
Write a failure scenario for a new registration without an email. Not attempted

Requirements & behavior

BPMN

What is especially useful to model for “escalate if no response arrives”? Not attempted
Does drawing a BPMN process mean it is running in production? Not attempted
Add a missing failure path to a workshop approval process. Not attempted

Requirements & behavior

DMN & decision tables

Two matching rows return different outcomes and no hit policy is stated. What should you do? Not attempted
What does an executed decision table establish by itself? Not attempted
Why must duplicate handling be explicit in a capacity decision? Not attempted

Contracts & knowledge

JSON Schema

Which value satisfies a JSON boolean constraint? Not attempted
A permission object validates. What has been established? Not attempted
Add an invalid example for the supplied schema and explain the failure. Not attempted

Contracts & knowledge

OpenAPI

Which question needs OpenAPI beyond a payload schema? Not attempted
Does a security declaration in OpenAPI enforce access control? Not attempted
What should a registration API describe when the input is missing required information? Not attempted

Contracts & knowledge

AsyncAPI

Why state the application perspective? Not attempted
Does a message contract prove that duplicate delivery has no duplicate effect? Not attempted
What would you add to a notification contract to discuss duplicate delivery? Not attempted

Contracts & knowledge

Contracts & knowledge

W3C PROV

Which provenance statement is more inspectable? Not attempted

What would you need to decide before adding cancellation after confirmation? Not attempted
