Web API Exam

Question No. 1

You are designing an application that allows employees to change their human resources
(HR) information, such as next of kin and direct deposit information. The requirements state
that the application should talk directly to the HR systems’ database.
However, at a recent company meeting, the CFO announced that the company will be
converting to a new HR system over the next two years. They will take an additional year to
move employees to the new system, one department at a time. How will this affect your
design?

It won’t; the requirements state that the application should talk directly to the
HR systems’ database.

ck
You should map the model directly to the database calls, anticipating that you
will have to change the model as the new system rolls out.
za

You should implement the Repository pattern with the current HR system
being the first repository that is built. When the second system comes online,
you implement that data access using the same pattern.

environment?

om
Create a set of unit tests that repeatedly test certain parts of the application.
Run them continuously over a period of time to ensure that the application

percent of your pilot users and run them in a constant load testing process to
ck
validate the application’s behavior.

za

start with a minimal number of users and increase to the total number of
users in the pilot program.

Question No. 10

Your application has an intermittent issue, based on the user’s path through the application,
in which the application seems to stop running. Even when running in debug mode, the
za

application calls a web service and then stops. The application locks and the call never
returns, thus the user’s request is never completed and eventually times out.

Q

Memory allocation in the Performance Wizard

Resource contention data in the Performance Wizard

application is finished, and the development team knows the number of intended users.
Which approach will give the team the best understanding of the application’s hardware
needs?

static pages. Run these tests in a constant load at various levels to see the
effect on performance.

Create several web tests that exercise all parts of the application, including all
static pages. Run these tests in a step approach up to the maximum expected
number of users. This will give you an idea of the load one server can handle.
