Frequently asked questions
- What does the Dependency Injection & IoC check test?
- The check covers wire abstractions to implementations without hardcoding — constructor vs setter vs field injection, ioc containers, service locator anti-pattern, and how di makes designs testable and swappable. Questions span beginner to advanced difficulty and test both conceptual understanding and practical trade-off reasoning.
- What keywords should I know for Dependency Injection & IoC?
- Key concepts include: dependency injection, IoC, inversion of control, constructor injection, setter injection, field injection, IoC container, service locator, Spring, Guice, DI framework, testability, mock, wiring. These frequently appear in low-level design interviews at product and infrastructure companies.
- How many questions are in the check?
- Each check has 10 questions — a mix of MCQ and short-answer. You get scored by dimension (e.g., scalability, consistency) so you know exactly where to focus.
- How long does it take to study Dependency Injection & IoC?
- Most engineers spend around 3 hours on this module. The check itself takes about 10–15 minutes. You can retake it up to 3 times per day.
- What prerequisite knowledge do I need before Dependency Injection & IoC?
- Dependency Injection & IoC builds on SOLID Principles. Complete those first for the best results.
- Is dependency injection, IoC, inversion of control covered?
- Yes. The Dependency Injection & IoC module covers dependency injection, IoC, inversion of control among other key concepts. The check includes questions that reflect real low-level design interview patterns.
