Question 3

Which of the following statements are true? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

  • A. The application of service-orientation leads to reduced awareness of underlying service implementation details because the Service Abstraction principle advocates limiting what is published about services.

Question 6

Which of the following statements correctly explains the difference between the Service Reusability
and Service Composability principles? Select the correct answer.

  • A. Service Reusability is focused on creating generic, reusable service logic, whereas Service Composability is focused on creating services that are effective participants of multiple service compositions.
  • B. Service Reusability is focused on creating non-agnostic service logic, whereas Service Composability is focused on creating agnostic service logic.
  • C. Service Reusability is focused on creating highly scalable services, whereas Service Composability is focused on creating highly isolated services.
  • D. There is no difference between these two principles. One principle name is used instead of the other depending on whether you are building a task or entity service.
