What is the purpose of a sprint retrospective? Choose two

Complain only in this session to avoid complaining in the rest of the sprint

Have more fun during the sprint

The developers should have all the skills needed to:

Create a potentially releasable increment from the product backlog items

Do all the work except for deployment

Complete the work in the within the foreseen time and costs

Create a potentially releasable increment from the product backlog items

Which are topics of the sprint planning? Choose all that apply.

How will the selected work get done?

What can be done in this sprint?

When is this sprint going to be done?

How to improve the scrum process in this sprint?

How will the selected work get done?

What can be done in this sprint?

During the sprint the developers realize that they have selected too many product backlog items. How should they go from there?

As soon as they realize they should work with the product owner to remove some work while not endangering the sprint goal

Inform the product owner and the stakeholders during the sprint review

As soon as they realize they should work with the product owner to remove some work while not endangering the sprint goal

Outsource the work to another team

Use a definition of done with lower standards to be able to finish all the work they committed to

Which statement best describes the sprint review?

It is a chance for inspecting the outcome of a sprint and determining the next steps

It is a demo of the work that was done

It is a chance for inspecting the outcome of a sprint and determining the next steps

Coding and engineering practices

What relation does scrum have to development practices?

Scrum is complemented by good development practices

Scrum requires a specific set of development practices

Scrum is complemented by good development practices

What is a merge in a version control system?

Combining two or more versions of code into a single codebase

Identifying a particular codebase as ready for distribution

How is architecture decided in a scrum team during a project?

The developers emerge architecture as the system is created

The architect works in the early part of each sprint to define the architecture of that sprint

Upfront designs are presented to the developers prior to the first sprint

The architecture cares for itself as code is written and deployed

An architect on the team undertakes all architecture tasks

What does a test written with TDD represent?

A technical requirement that must be satisfied

Something that completes the test coverage of a system

What are two reasons to use mock objects in unit tests?

The behavior of a given object can be emulated to the system under test

Isolating a particular system component for controlled testing

The behavior of a given object can be emulated to the system under test

They are machine-generated and eliminate the need to write code by hand

Isolating a particular system component for controlled testing

Select three criteria for the definition of done

The product is released at the end of every sprint

Is it a good idea to follow each automated build with the execution of automated tests?

Yes, the tests may identify whether there are bugs that the developers should fix before proceeding

Yes, it will show code coverage which is an excellent metric of quality and progress

No, the outcomes might disturb the developers' focus

Yes, the tests may identify whether there are bugs that the developers should fix before proceeding

What are two ways developers can ensure a good architecture? (two answers)

Architecture is an ongoing discussion amongst the developers, focusing on implementing current Sprint Backlog Items

The developers have a set of guiding architecture principles that every developer understands and follows when writing code

Architecture is an ongoing discussion amongst the developers, focusing on implementing current Sprint Backlog Items

The developers focus only on adding functionality. The architecture will take care of itself as the developers add functionality

The developers have a set of guiding architecture principles that every developer understands and follows when writing code

Developers assign someone to the role of software architect to ensure the architecture

Architecture is dealt with in sprint 0

Which of the following describes an architecture spike?

A small development activity to learn about technical elements of a proposed solution

A fundamental architectural problem found in an existing application

The result of an exhaustive architectural planning effort

A small development activity to learn about technical elements of a proposed solution

A decision made by a systems architect to settle disagreement amongst the developers

What is technical debt?

A term representing the eventual consequences of poor technical choices

Developers that have to pay college debt

Code that hasn't been documented

The money an organization owes to tool and hardware vendors

When should a newly discovered huge bug of a previous sprint be fixed?

Depends on what the product owner wants.

Don't fix it immediately, but change the test to not show it as a temporary fix.

Don't fix it, but stub out the code that causes it.

Depends on what the product owner wants.

Which two criteria are useful in deciding if something should be documented every sprint?

The documentation is used to enhance and maintain the software

It is required by the definition of done

It has always been documented in the past

The documentation is used to enhance and maintain the software

The software tool being used requires it

It is required by the definition of done

Which are four attributes of a good bug report?
