REVIEW & PRACTICE QUESTIONS
LATEST UPDATE 2026
Which goal within the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy takes a deliberate and
systematic approach to improve the digital knowledge base, and build and prepare the
workforce for the application of digital acquisition practices? - answer-Goal 1:
Formalize the development, integration, and use of models to inform
Which of the following is a Behavior Diagram (act)? - answer-A system model of a
system's behavior including functionality, data flows, and interactions
Which FOUR (4) of the following describe how Verification, Validation, and Accreditation
(VV&A) methods support digital engineering? - answer-- VV&A methods underpin the
tools and data that support a robust digital system
- Using VV&A methods increases the confidence that the program will be successful
- V&V'd toolsets increase the confidence that the tools have pedigree to an authoritative
source of truth
- VV&A methods allow the stakeholder to understand and accept the resulting digital
artifacts
(incorrect)
What type of protection is NOT considered when implementing a digital ecosystem in
goal 4 of the DoD digital engineering strategy? - answer-Environmental
Which is not one of the five DoD digital engineering strategy goals? - answer-Maintain
existing culture and skills
, Infrastructure and environments are required to support authoritative source through
which two answers: - answer-- Mature and accessible engineering environments and
tools like the engineering resilient systems (ERS) suite of tools
- Current and historical technical baselines traceable across the lifecycle
All of the following help organizations solve challenges and institutionalize digital
engineering except: - answer-System design review
What three (3) factors make the use of modeling and simulation more important in
today's digital age? - answer-- Cost savings by using limited real open air data to VV&A
M&S can speed delivery of new capabilities
- Ability to rapidly iterate and integrate designs with existing platforms using m&S
- Product quality improvement using M&S to find and fix issues much earlier in the
development cycle
What is verification? - answer-The process of providing input to a real system or
subsystem in order to observe or evaluate the response
(incorrect)
What is a simulation? - answer-A model of a system in which there is no change over
time
(incorrect)
Access to unclassified data and information in a digital environment should be
restricted - answer-True
Trusted digital artifacts and models are explicit elements of building what key aspect of
community acceptance? - answer-Credibility
System architecture influences the successful implementation of digital engineering -
answer-True
