Microsoft 70-498 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 31:

  Historically your IT group has done a poor job of reporting issues and successes to key decision makers in a timely manner, due to incomplete or inconsistent application lifecycle management (ALM) practices.

  You are implementing Scrum as the process framework for new projects. The scrum master will publish daily progress reports to the product owner and key stakeholders.

  You need to view daily progress and identify if bottlenecks are occurring in the development process.

  Which report should you use?

  A. Bug Trends
  B. Sprint Burndown
  C. Cumulative Flow
  D. Release Burndown
  C. Cumulative Flow

  Kanban teams prefer to use a Cumulative Flow Diagram to visualize work across the entire backlog. Visualizing the backlog in this manner can help to identify bottlenecks in the process. Scrum Teams can also use a Cumulative Flow Diagram.

• Question 32:

  You are developing an application that has several automated builds that build, perform code analysis, and unit test portions of your code. Your team also performs peer review for code changes in an informal manner. You need to meet the following requirements:

  

  Provide documentation on quality checks and reviews for any changes to the code base.

  

  Ensure code quality.

  

  Maintain your team's efficiency. What should you do?

  A. Institute gated check-ins to the build process.
  B. Deny developers check-in permissions. Allow them to shelve changes and have a senior team member check in the shelve-set after review.
  C. Utilize the Code Review work items and workflow before check-ins.
  D. Perform a weekly code review on subset of recent check-ins.
  C. Utilize the Code Review work items and workflow before check-ins.

• Question 33:

  You are utilizing the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. You lead a development team that includes business analysts, developers, and testers.

  You need to capture requirements and acceptance criteria. You also need to ensure that requirements and criteria can be versioned and tracked against individual test cases.

  What should you do?

  A. Create a document that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the document in TFS source control.
  B. Create a document that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the document in the SharePoint site associated with the team project.
  C. Add product backlog item (PBI) work items.
  D. Create a spreadsheet that details the requirements and acceptance tests. Store the spreadsheet in TFS source control.
  C. Add product backlog item (PBI) work items.

  In Team Foundation Server, the Product Backlog Item (PBI) work item type enables the Scrum Team to capture all of these various requirements with as little documentation as possible. In fact, only the title field is required. Later, as more detail emerges, the PBI can be updated to include business value, acceptance criteria, and the Development Team's latest estimation of effort.

• Question 34:

  You are a developer. Your company has a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) installation for a project. The TFS installation uses the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development project template.

  The developers have standard Contributor permissions, and the Scrum Master has Project Administrator permissions.

  The project development team performs time of regression testing of all stories at the end of each release. Defects are linked to the corresponding story. The team wants to view all completed user stories for release 1 with related open

  defects. This query needs to appear on the home page of the web portal.

  You need to create a query that includes the user story title, defect title, and the status of the defect.

  Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

  A. Using the Query editor, create a new Flat query named Rl Open Defects. Set Work Item Type to Defect, and set the State filter to Done.
  B. Using the Query editor, create a new direct links query named Rl Open Defects that links user stories by using the iteration filter Under, Release 1, and related Bugs. Filter the bugs by by State < > Done.
  C. Have the Scrum master right-click the query Rl Open Defects, and select add to team favorites.
  D. As a developer, from the Query menu, right-click the query Rl Open Defects, and select add to team favorites.
  B. Using the Query editor, create a new direct links query named Rl Open Defects that links user stories by using the iteration filter Under, Release 1, and related Bugs. Filter the bugs by by State < > Done.
  C. Have the Scrum master right-click the query Rl Open Defects, and select add to team favorites.

• Question 35:

  You are planning to develop a new application.

  You want to be able to measure the quality of the code you create.

  You need to ensure that it is easy to test and obtain high code coverage.

  What should you do?

  A. Ensure that each class has only one responsibility.
  B. Ensure that concrete classes depend only on other concrete classes.
  C. Create as few abstract classes and interfaces as possible.
  D. Create as many static methods as possible.
  A. Ensure that each class has only one responsibility.

• Question 36:

  You design a system architecture that specifies various inter-layer communications.

  You need to ensure the validity of developers' code against your architecture. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

  A. Create a layer diagram and specify the valid namespaces for each layer.
  B. Create a gated check-in that runs a build that validates the rules defined in the layer diagram.
  C. Use the architecture explorer to create a DGML model of the architecture.
  D. Create a gated check-in that uses Code Analysis.
  E. Create a gated check-in that runs a build that validates the rules defined in the DGML model.
  A. Create a layer diagram and specify the valid namespaces for each layer.
  B. Create a gated check-in that runs a build that validates the rules defined in the layer diagram.

  ---

  You can perform layer validation every time that you run a local build. If your team uses Team Foundation Build, you can perform layer validation with gated check-ins, which you can specify by creating a custom MSBuild task, and use build reports to collect validation errors.

• Question 38:

  Your team uses Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server {TFS) to manage your software projects. The operations team uses System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and configures synchronization with TFS by using TFS Work

  Item Synchronization Management Pack.

  You need to send information about production errors, including IntelliTrace information from System Center, to the software development team.

  What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

  C. From the TFS Administration Console, select the Import IntelliTrace files menu, and associate the IntelliTrace file to a new work item.
  D. From System Center, select an existing alert, and enable the full IntelliTrace collection by using the tasks panel. Once the IntelliTrace file is associated to the alert, create a new work item in TFS, and add a link to the new System Center alert.
  B. From System Center, select an existing alert, and enable full IntelliTrace collection by using the tasks panel. Once the IntelliTrace file is associated to the alert select the Assign to Engineering option from the Alert Status menu.
  D. From System Center, select an existing alert, and enable the full IntelliTrace collection by using the tasks panel. Once the IntelliTrace file is associated to the alert, create a new work item in TFS, and add a link to the new System Center alert.
