Certified Data Management Professional – Fundamentals (CDMP) — Question 84

A point to point interface architecture will, in general, have more or less interface formats than a service-oriented architecture?

Answer options

• A. A few more
• B. Many less
• C. About the same
• D. A few less
• E. Many more

Correct answer: E

Explanation

A point to point interface architecture generally has many more interface formats because it requires specific interfaces for each pair of communicating components, leading to a proliferation of formats. In contrast, a service-oriented architecture promotes reusability and standardization, reducing the number of required interface formats.
