Which of the following statements regarding iterative and incremental design are correct? Please name the three statements that fit the best. (Choose three.)
A. Iterations help to deal with uncertainties.
B. The iterative approach helps to detect design problems at an earlier stage.
C. If the incremental approach is used, risks are detected at a later stage.
D. Iterative design leads to project delays.
E. If iterative design is used; the customer will be less involved.
F. If incremental design is used; key functionality is considered as early as possible.
Which of the following statements apply to design patterns? (Choose two.)
A. Design patterns are not invented but discovered.
B. Design patterns should always be described alongside the problem they are supposed to solve.
C. Design patterns are formally defined and can thus be proven to be correct.
D. The number of design patterns used is proportional to the software architecture's quality.

Which of the following statements about (crosscutting) concepts are most appropriate? (Select four.)
A. The definition of appropriate concepts ensures the conceptual integrity of the architecture.
B. Concepts are a means to increase consistency.
C. For each quality goal there should be an explicitly documented concept.
D. Uniform exception handling is most easily achieved when architects agree with developers upon a suitable concept prior to implementation.
E. A concept might be implemented by a single building block.
F. Uniform usage of concepts reduces coupling between building blocks.
G. A concept can define constraints for the implementation of many building blocks.
