Server name or address

Resource name

Virtual machine

Protocol header

Question 3 Which of the following is NOT a function normally performed by an operating system?

Secondary storage management

Program storage. loading, and execution

Program editing and debugging

None of the other functions are normally performed by an operating system

Question 4 From the perspective of an app developer, which of the following is a disadvantage of relying on (reusing) embedded software components on user computing devices?

The app is simpler because some of the software that supports it is already installed ont he user device

Differences in embedded software usually mean that the developer must write multiple app versions

A user's knowledge of how to interact with one app can reduce the learning curve for other apps on the same device

Advanced funtions supported by embedded components, such as voice recognition, can be more easily incorporated into new apps

Question 5 Which of the following terms best describes the global network that interconnects most computing devices on the planet.

Web application

Internet

World Wide Web

URL

Question 6 Which statement below describes the most common relationship between advances in computer hardware and related advances in computer software?

Software developers incorporate functions that stretch beyond the capabilties of current hardware and hardware developers soon relase improved hardware to bridge the gap

Hardware developers implement a new feature and it takes a few years for software developers to fully incorporate it into new software

Hardware and software developers carefully coordinate their efforts so that new hardware functions and the software that fully utilizes those function appear at the same time
