Software Architect Test

Software architects shape the foundation of complex systems — ensuring they’re scalable, reliable, secure, and aligned with business goals. This test isn’t just about coding; it’s about making the architectural choices that guide entire projects. The Software Architect Test is designed to evaluate your ability to balance trade-offs, apply design patterns, and create systems that meet both functional and non-functional requirements.

About the Software Architect Test

The assessment mirrors the responsibilities of a software architect: designing frameworks, managing technical decisions, and ensuring long-term maintainability. Each question pushes you to apply not only technical knowledge, but also architectural judgment in real-world contexts.

You’ll be evaluated across five key areas:

  • Architectural Patterns & Design Principles
    Demonstrate knowledge of common patterns (layered, microservices, event-driven, etc.), SOLID principles, and trade-offs in design.

  • System Quality Attributes (Non-Functional Requirements)
    Apply architectural strategies to ensure performance, scalability, security, availability, maintainability, and usability.

  • Data and Storage Architecture
    Design effective data models, choose appropriate storage systems (SQL, NoSQL, cloud-native), and ensure consistency, integrity, and reliability.

  • Integration, APIs, and Communication
    Architect reliable APIs, messaging patterns, and integration approaches for distributed systems, while addressing interoperability and security.

  • Technology, Tooling, and Governance
    Select appropriate technologies, establish governance practices, enforce coding/architecture standards, and balance innovation with maintainability.

This is where technical leadership meets strategic decision-making — ensuring systems are not just built, but built to last.
