Changed "Führung" / "maintaining" to "Einführung" / "introduction" (and removing "adequate", because IMHO it has nothing to do with the question in this context). I also added a brief explanation on the answers.

@feststelltaste one concern we (the Foundation-Working-Group) has with the mock exam is the risk of overfitting:

In case we fix errors, we make the mock-exam (much) better than we assume the real exam is...
Therefore we left MANY issues open.

Next Monday I will discuss this with @alxlo f2f - until then I will leave your PR open.

My students and I always struggle with this question as well and improving it is not considered overfitting by me.
However, the pull request improves things a bit but IMHO not enough. It's just too much a case of "it depends" and while for starting to finally have an architecture documentation at all, increasing testability may not be the main driver, it may be very well a contributing factor.

So either we should turn this into a P-Question ("select the usually most important ...") or use a distractor that should clearly be not a motivating factor (yes, hard to find, there are a thousand reasons to get documentation started).

@alxlo could you propose additional improvements, so we can get this PR into production?

I'm really not in favor of not correcting or addressing issues in the mock exam with the reasoning that it will be better than the real exam. I'd rather put a disclaimer on the mock exam that questions may be clearer than the real exam, because there is simply more community feedback, so that the people taking the mock exam are aware of this.

Suggestions for possible distractors:

  1. To ensure that all requirements are documented
  2. To ensure that external users (e.g., customers, partners etc.) are aware of how the system is implemented.

I agree with @alxlo that a P-Question would fit better here
