Questions

  1. 1.

    Which statement correctly describes a Solution Building Block (SBB) according to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition?

    • A) It defines the required architectural functionality while remaining implementation-independent.
    • B) It represents a specific product, component, or service used to realize an Architecture Building Block.
    • C) It specifies abstract business capabilities without reference to physical systems.
    • D) It is an architectural deliverable created solely during the Preliminary Phase to establish principles.
  2. 2.

    Which statement correctly describes a key characteristic of an Architecture Building Block (ABB) in accordance with the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition?

    • A) It defines implementation-specific components, products, or physical assemblies required to realize a solution.
    • B) It captures architecture requirements and defines functionality while remaining implementation-independent.
    • C) It is selected or developed exclusively during Phase G to govern procurement vendor contracts.
    • D) It represents a specific commercial off-the-shelf product or deployed technology component.
  3. 3.

    In the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, which statement correctly distinguishes an Architecture Building Block (ABB) from a Solution Building Block (SBB)?

    • A) ABBs define what functionality is required and capture architecture requirements, whereas SBBs define how that functionality is realized through specific implementations.
    • B) ABBs represent physical products and custom applications, whereas SBBs define abstract business capabilities and logical architecture specifications.
    • C) ABBs are non-reusable components tailored to single vendors, whereas SBBs are generic, vendor-agnostic architectural standards.
    • D) ABBs are defined exclusively during Phase E implementation planning, whereas SBBs are created during the initial Architecture Vision phase.
