3. **Response Time** - Time taken for the integration to respond to requests.
4. **Throughput** - Number of transactions processed in a given time frame.
5. **Latency** - Delay between request and response in the integration.
6. **System Uptime** - Percentage of time the integration services are operational.
7. **Data Accuracy** - Percentage of data correctly integrated without discrepancies.
8. **Resource Utilization** - CPU, memory, and network usage during integration tasks.

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:
In ARM Compiler, you use preprocessor directives by starting a line with a `#` symbol. Common directives include `#define` to create macros, `#include` to include header files, and `#ifdef`/`#ifndef` for conditional compilation. For example:

```c
#define MAX_SIZE 100

#include "myheader.h"

#ifdef DEBUG
// Debugging code here
#endif
```

Right Answer:
Content models and metadata in Alfresco are configured using XML files that define namespaces, types (content types, aspects), and properties. These XML files are placed in the `alfresco/extension/model` directory and registered in the `share-config-custom.xml` file. The model defines the structure and metadata of content, allowing you to define custom properties, inherit from existing types, and apply aspects for additional metadata.

Right Answer:
To ensure SEO best practices and responsiveness in AEM-based websites, I would:

1. Use AEM's built-in SEO features like metadata management for titles, descriptions, and keywords.
2. Implement clean and user-friendly URLs using AEM's URL mapping.
3. Optimize images and use alt tags for accessibility.
4. Ensure mobile responsiveness by using responsive design principles and AEM's responsive grid system.
5. Utilize AEM's support for structured data (like schema.org) to enhance search visibility.
6. Regularly test website performance and loading speed, optimizing assets as needed.
7. Create an XML sitemap and robots.txt file to guide search engines.
8. Monitor and analyze SEO performance using tools like Google Analytics and Search Console.

Right Answer:
The restrictions on method overriding are:

1. The method must have the same name, return type, and parameters as the method in the superclass.
2. The overriding method cannot be more restrictive in access than the overridden method (e.g., a protected method cannot be overridden as private).
3. The overriding method cannot throw new or broader checked exceptions than those declared in the overridden method.
4. The method cannot be static, as static methods cannot be overridden (they can be hidden).
5. The method cannot be final, as final methods cannot be overridden.

Right Answer:
Token-based authentication is a method where a user logs in with their credentials and receives a token in return. This token is then used to authenticate subsequent requests to the server, allowing the user to access protected resources without needing to send their credentials each time. The token is usually a string that contains encoded information about the user and has an expiration time for security.

Right Answer:
In Django, you can use sessions by accessing the `request.session` dictionary to store and retrieve data. To handle session expiration time, you can set the `SESSION_COOKIE_AGE` setting in your `settings.py` file, which defines the duration (in seconds) before a session expires. For example, to set a session to expire after 30 minutes, you would use:

```python
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 1800 # 30 minutes
```

Right Answer:
I've used tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, and Trello for Agile project management. I choose them based on project needs; Jira for complex workflows and robust reporting, Azure DevOps for integrated development environments, and Trello for simpler, visually-oriented task management.

Right Answer:
Scrum is an Agile framework for managing and completing complex projects.

Implementation involves:

1. **Roles:** Defining roles like Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team.
2. **Sprints:** Working in short, time-boxed iterations (Sprints), typically 2-4 weeks.
3. **Artifacts:** Using artifacts like Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Increment.
4. **Events:** Conducting events such as Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
5. **Continuous Improvement:** Regularly inspecting and adapting the process based on feedback.

Right Answer:
Agile is an iterative and incremental approach to project management that focuses on collaboration, flexibility, and customer satisfaction. Unlike traditional, sequential (waterfall) methods, Agile embraces change throughout the project lifecycle through short development cycles called sprints.

Right Answer:
We prioritize features or tasks in an Agile sprint using a combination of factors like business value, risk, effort/size, dependencies, and urgency. Product Owner usually leads this, using techniques like MoSCoW (Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have) or story pointing, to ensure the most valuable items are tackled first.

Right Answer:
To facilitate effective sprint retrospectives, I would:

1. **Set the Stage:** Create a safe and open environment where the team feels comfortable sharing.
2. **Gather Data:** Collect information about what went well, what didn't, and any challenges faced during the sprint.
3. **Generate Insights:** Facilitate a discussion to identify root causes and patterns.
4. **Decide on Actions:** Collaborate to define specific, actionable, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) improvements.
5. **Close the Retrospective:** Summarize action items and assign owners.
6. **Follow Up:** Track progress on action items in subsequent sprints to ensure continuous improvement.
