50
Q

A

Acceptance test-driven development is a development methodology where failing acceptance tests are written before any other code is written

51
Q

What is a build?

A

A build is a potentially releasable unit of software. It is the result of converting source code into an executable

52
Q

When using ATDD, in addition to meeting acceptance criteria, is it a good practice to also test unhappy paths?

A

Yes

53
Q

What is TDD?

A

Test-driven development is a development methodology where failing test cases are written before any other code is written. TDD follows the red-green-refactor cycle

54

A

Unit testing is the testing of small, isolated units of code. The definition of a “unit” depends on the context and should be agreed upon by the developers

55
Q

False

Passing acceptance tests is equivalent to the PBI being Done

A

False

Having passing acceptance tests only proves that the acceptance criteria have been satisfied. It does not necessarily mean that all aspects of the Definition of Done have been completely satisfied. Other items might have to be completed, such as creating documentation or a release note

The developer should aim for lose coupling and high cohesion

72
Q

True or False

If Scrum Teams become too large, they should consider reorganizing into multiple cohesive Scrum Teams, each focused on the same product. Therefore, they should share the same Product Goal, Product Backlog, but have different Product Owners

A

False

Product owner should be the same for all scrum teams focusing on the same product

73
Q

What is BDD?

A

Behavior-driven development is a development methodology that extends TDD by describing desired functional behavior

74
Q

What is smoke testing?

A

Smoke testing is the testing of the crucial features of a new build. If the tests are successful, the build is ready for more rigorous testing

75
Q

What is blue-green deployment?

A

Blue-green deployment is a deployment strategy where 2 identical environments are created. 1 runs the application (blue) and 2 tests the new application. Once all tests are successful, all traffic from 1 is directed to 2 and 1 becomes green and 2 becomes blue

Q

What is cyclomatic complexity?

A

Cyclomatic complexity is a measurement of the amount of decision logic for a given source code

83
Q

What are software architecture quality goals known as?

Q

Stakeholders can be included in Product Backlog Refinement?

A

True

85
Q

Who owns the Sprint Backlog?

A

The development team

86
Q

What is YAGNI?

A

YAGNI is the practice of building functionality only when it becomes necessary

87
Q

What is static analysis?

A

Static analysis is the analysis of source code without executing the application

88
Q

What is velocity?

A

Velocity is an indication of the amount of PBIs turned into increments during the sprint

89
Q

What is A/B testing?

A

A/B testing is the testing of 2 versions of a system to determine which performs better

90
Q

What is continuous testing?

A

Continuous testing is the practice of continuously testing an application throughout its software development life cycle

91
Q

What is cycle time?

A

Cycle time is the amount of time it takes to start a PBI and deliver an increment

92
Q

What is feature toggling?

A

Feature toggling is the practice of dynamically toggling specific functionality on or off without affecting overall accessability to the application

93
Q

What is the scout rule?

A
