Right Answer:
API authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or application trying to access an API. Common methods include:

1. **API Keys**: Unique keys provided to users to access the API.
2. **Basic Authentication**: Uses a username and password encoded in Base64.
3. **OAuth**: A token-based authentication method that allows users to grant limited access to their resources without sharing credentials.
4. **JWT (JSON Web Tokens)**: A compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties, often used for stateless authentication.
5. **HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code)**: Uses a secret key to create a hash of the request, ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Right Answer:
An API Gateway acts as a single entry point for clients to access multiple microservices, handling requests, routing them to the appropriate services, managing authentication, rate limiting, and aggregating responses.

Right Answer:
API documentation is a technical manual that explains how to use an API, including its endpoints, request and response formats, authentication methods, and examples. It is necessary because it helps developers understand how to integrate and interact with the API effectively, ensuring proper usage and reducing errors.

Right Answer:
Runnable entities are the basic units of execution in AUTOSAR that encapsulate the functionality of a software component. They are scheduled by the RTE (Runtime Environment) based on the configured timing and triggering mechanisms, such as periodic or event-driven scheduling, ensuring that they are executed at the appropriate times according to the system's requirements.

Right Answer:
A BSW (Basic Software) module is a software component in the AUTOSAR architecture that provides standardized services and functionalities to the application layer and other software components. Examples of BSW modules include:

1. ECU Abstraction Layer (ECU-AL)
2. Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL)
3. Operating System (OS)
4. Communication Services (e.g., CAN, LIN)
5. Diagnostic Services (e.g., DCM)

Right Answer:
The key components of the Alfresco architecture are:

* **Alfresco Content Repository:** The core content store.
* **Alfresco Share:** The web-based user interface.
* **Alfresco Process Services (Activiti):** The workflow engine.
* **Search Subsystem (Solr or Elasticsearch):** Provides search capabilities.
* **Transformation Framework:** Enables content transformations.
* **Authentication Subsystem:** Manages user authentication and authorization.
* **APIs (REST, CMIS):** Provide interfaces for external applications.

Right Answer:
My approach to handling version control and deployment in AEM projects involves using Git for version control to manage code changes, ensuring that all code is committed to a central repository. For deployment, I utilize a CI/CD pipeline with tools like Jenkins or Adobe Cloud Manager to automate the build and deployment process, ensuring consistent and reliable deployments across environments. Additionally, I manage AEM content and configurations using packages and ensure proper versioning of these packages for smooth rollbacks if necessary.

Right Answer:
In AEM, user permissions and access control are implemented using the Apache Jackrabbit Oak security model. You can manage user permissions by creating user groups and assigning specific permissions to these groups through the AEM User Administration interface. Additionally, you can set access control lists (ACLs) on nodes in the JCR repository to define what users or groups can read, write, or modify content. This can be done using the AEM console or programmatically via the Sling API or JCR API.

Right Answer:
A sprint backlog is a detailed plan of work for a specific sprint, derived from the product backlog. It's created during sprint planning by the development team, who select items from the product backlog they commit to complete, then break down those items into tasks and estimate the effort required for each.

Right Answer:
A product backlog is a prioritized list of features, bug fixes, tasks, and requirements needed to build a product. It's managed through regular refinement, prioritization, estimation, and updates based on feedback and changing business needs, often facilitated by the Product Owner.

Right Answer:
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader who helps the Scrum Team follow the Scrum framework. They facilitate Scrum events (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), remove impediments, protect the team from distractions, and coach the team on Agile principles and practices.

Right Answer:
Agile ceremonies are recurring meetings within a sprint to facilitate communication, planning, and continuous improvement.

* **Sprint Planning:** The team decides what work to complete in the upcoming sprint. They discuss user stories, estimate effort, and define the sprint goal.

* **Daily Stand-up:** A brief daily meeting where the team shares progress, identifies roadblocks, and coordinates efforts. Each member typically answers: What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? Are there any impediments?

* **Sprint Review:** The team demonstrates the completed work to stakeholders, gathering feedback and ensuring alignment with expectations.

* **Sprint Retrospective:** The team reflects on the past sprint, identifying what went well, what could be improved, and defining action items to enhance future performance.

Right Answer:
Success in Agile is measured by:

* **Output:** Delivering valuable, working software frequently; achieving the product vision; meeting business goals; customer satisfaction; and predictability (consistent delivery).
* **Team Health:** Team morale; continuous improvement (velocity trends, retrospectives leading to action); collaboration; self-organization; and sustainable pace.
