  ---

  Note: Mean time to repair (MTTR) is a basic measure of the maintainability of repairable items.

  It represents the average time required to repair a failed component or device. Expressed mathematically, it is the total corrective maintenance time divided by the total number of corrective maintenance actions during a given period of time. It

  generally does not include lead time for parts not readily available, or other Administrative or Logistic Downtime (ALDT).

• Question 10:

  What should you do?

  A. Create a new cross-cutting layer and refactor the utility class into the new layer, allowing the new layer to reference both the data access layer and the business logic layer.
  B. Leave the layers the same and duplicate the utility class in both the data access layer and the business logic layer.
  C. Create a new cross-cutting layer and refactor the utility class into the new layer, allowing the data access layer and business logic layer to have one-way dependencies to the new layer.
  D. Change the dependency between the data access layer and the business logic layer to be bi- directional.
  C. Create a new cross-cutting layer and refactor the utility class into the new layer, allowing the data access layer and business logic layer to have one-way dependencies to the new layer.
