TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 92

Which of the following does the TOGAF standard describe as an Architecture Pattern?

Answer options

• A. An implementation specific solution building block
• B. A work product describing an aspect of an architecture
• C. A detailed description of the interfaces between building blocks
• D. A package of functionality defined to meet the business needs of the organization.
• E. A way to identify combinations of building blocks that have been proven to deliver solutions

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer, E, accurately reflects the definition of an Architecture Pattern in TOGAF, which focuses on validated combinations of building blocks. Option A refers to a specific solution which does not capture the broader concept of patterns. Option B describes a work product, while option C discusses interfaces, both of which are not synonymous with Architecture Patterns. Option D highlights functionality but misses the pattern concept.
