I see your points, but I believe it’s C) Consumer-to-Contract. The apps ignore the service contract.

I’m leaning towards A) Contract-to-Implementation. It’s about the contract not being followed.

I feel that too! Direct access means apps are tied to the database structure.

D) Contract-to-Technology could also apply. Technology should enforce the contract, right?

I see both sides, but I feel C) Consumer-to-Contract fits better. Direct access breaks the contract.

I feel like this is a trick question. The applications bypassing the service makes me lean towards Consumer-to-Implementation, but I’m not completely confident in that choice.

I have a vague recollection of the definitions, but I’m confused. I thought Contract-to-Implementation was about how contracts are tied to specific implementations. Could that be relevant here?

This reminds me of a practice question we did on service interfaces. I think the answer might be Consumer-to-Contract since the applications are ignoring the official service.

I remember studying about coupling types, but I'm not entirely sure which one fits this scenario. It feels like it could be Consumer-to-Implementation, but I need to think it through more.
