Which of the following best describes a service oriented architecture?
A) systems created with mutually dependent software components
B) systems created from interconnected subsets of its software components
C) systems assembled from relatively independent software components
D) systems with overlapping components that are used in slow moving companies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A service oriented architecture (SOA) is a way of designing software systems as a collection of independent, modular services that communicate with each other over a network. These services are built to perform specific functions and can be used by other services or applications. The emphasis is on loose coupling and maximum reusability of software components, allowing for flexible and scalable systems. Option A is incorrect because mutually dependent components go against the principles of loose coupling and independence. Option B is incorrect because interconnected subsets still imply a degree of tight coupling. Option D is incorrect because overlapping components may lead to redundancy and inconsistency.
