Scenario 1
Background
You are developing a flight information consolidation service. The service retrieves flight
information from a number of sources and combines them into a single data set. The
consolidated flight information is stored in a SQL Server database. Customers can query
and retrieve the data by using a REST API provided by the service. The service also offers
access to historical flight information. The historical flight information can be filtered and
queried in an ad hoc manner. The service runs on a Windows Azure Web Role. SSL is not
used.
Business Requirements
• A new data source for historical flight information is being developed by a contractor
located on another continent.
• If a time zone is not specified, then it should be interpreted as Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC).
• When you upgrade a service from a staging deployment to a production deployment,
the time that the service is unavailable must be minimized.
• The default port must be used for HTTP.
Technical Requirements
The existing sources of flight information and the mechanism of exchange are listed below.
• Blue Yonder Airlines provides flight information in an XML file.
• Consolidated Messenger provides flight information in a Microsoft Access database
that is uploaded every 12 hours to the service using SFTP. The company uses port 22 for
SFTP.
• Margie’s Travel provides and consumes flight information using serialized ADO.NET
DataSets. Data is periodically synced between the service and Margie’s Travel.
• Trey Research provides data from multiple sources serialized in proprietary binary
formats. The data must be read by using .NET assemblies provided by Trey Research. The
assemblies use a common set of dependencies. The current version of the Trey Research
assemblies is 1.2.0.0. All assemblies provided by Trey Research are signed with a key pair
contained in a file named Trey.snk, which Trey Research also supplies.
• The application specification requires that any third-party assemblies must have
strong names.

historical flight information specify a set of airlines to search and whether the query should

Scenario 2
Background
You are developing an ASP.NET MVC application in Visual Studio 2012 that will be used to
process orders.
Business Requirements
The application contains the following three pages.
• A page that queries an external database for orders that are ready to be processed.
The user can then process the order.
• A page to view processed orders.
• A page to view vendor information.
The application consumes three WCF services to retrieve external data.
Technical Requirements
Visual Studio Solution:
The solution contains the following four projects.
• ExternalQueue: A WCF service project used to communicate with the external order
database.
• OrderProcessor: An ASP.NET MVC project used for order processing and logging
order metadata.
• OrderUpload: A WCF service project used to submit order data to an external data
source.
• Shipping: A WCF service project used to acquire shipping information.

ExternalQueue Project:
Entity Framework is used for data access. The entities are defined in the
ExternalOrders.edmx file as shown in the following diagram.

The project contains two services defined in the following files.
• IExternalQueueService.es
• ExternalQueueService.svc.
The ExternalQueue.Helpers namespace contains a definition for a class named
OrderNotFound Exception.
OrderProcessor Project:
Entity Framework is used for data access. The entities are defined in the
ProcessedOrders.edmx file as shown in the following diagram.

The classes are contained in the OrderProcessor.Entities namespace. The project contains
the following two controllers.
• InboundQueueController.es
• ProcessedOrderController.es
WCF service proxies to the ExternalQueue, Shipping and OrderUpload services have been
generated by using the command prompt. The ExecuteCommandProcedure() method in the
ExternalQueueService.svc file must run asynchronously.
The ProcessedOrderController controller has the following requirements.
The GetVendorPolicy() method must enforce a 10 minute absolute cache expiration policy.
The GetProcessedOrders() method must return a view of the 10 most recently processed
orders.
OrderUpload Project:
The project contains two services defined in the following files.
• IUploadCallbackService.es
• UploadCallbackService.svc

Data Access is maintained in a file named UploadOrder.es.
Shipping Project:
Entity Framework is used for data access. The entities are defined in the
ExternalOrders.edmx file as shown in the following diagram.

The Custom Tool property for ExternalOrders.edmx has been removed. POCO classes for
the Entity Model are located in the ShippingAddress.es file. The POCO entity must be
loaded by using lazy loading. The project contains two services defined in the following files.
• IShippingService.es
• ShippingService.svc.
The IShippingService contract must contain an operation that receives an order number as a
parameter. The operation must return a class named ShippingInfo that inherits from a class
named State.

The GetVendorPolicy() private method in the ProcessedOrderController controller is
returning a CacheItemPolicy object with default values. The returned policy must expire if the
external file located at C:\Triggers\VendorTrigger.txt has been modified or the timeout
