True or False: The static structural model of a system's components and the dynamic model of the system as it executes are always the same.
Correct Answer
False
Explanation
Static and dynamic structural models are not necessarily the same. The static model shows the organization of the system design (the class structure), whereas the dynamic model shows the organization of the system when it is actually executing (e.g., as a set of interacting threads). These can be very different from each other.
