Points: 1 out of 1

Feedback
The Daily Scrum is for the people transforming the Product Backlog items into an Increment. Only the people
that are building the product should be present at the Daily Scrum.

Question 3 of 30

What are some shortcomings of code coverage as a measurement for how well a system or product
is tested? (choose 3 answers)

Correct answer: A) B) C)
You chose: A) B) C)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Code coverage does not ensure that the most important or highest risk areas of the code
are being exercised by tests.
B) Code coverage does not necessarily provide functional coverage.
C) Could create incentives to write tests that simply increase code coverage, rather than tests
that find bugs without increasing coverage.
D) Code coverage metrics vary by development platform (e.g., .NET, Java)
E) It is too complicated to explain to management.

Points: 1 out of 1

Feedback
Code coverage is a useful metric, but not in isolation. It should not be considered a replacement for effective test
design techniques.

Advanced practices of test-driven development can lead to Acceptance Test-driven development (ATDD) where
the criteria specified by the customer are automated into acceptance tests, which then drive the traditional unit
test-driven development (UTDD) process.

A) The Development Team plans a Sprint 0 at the beginning of a project with the objective of

B) A Development Team doesn't need an architecture model in Scrum and should focus on
adding functionality. The architecture will come into place without fail as the Development
Team adds functionality.
C) The Development Team should have a set of guiding architecture principles that every
Development Team member understands and follows when writing code.
D) The Development Team should assign someone to the role of software architect whose job

Points: 1 out of 1

Feedback
There is no specific "architect" role on a Scrum team, nor is there an architecture planning Sprint. But, a good
architecture doesn't just happen automatically. Guiding principles and frequent conversations on the team help
ensure that the most appropriate architecture is developed as it is needed by features being developed in the
current Sprint.

Builds are just an extra level of validation to make sure that you still have a unit of potentially shippable software.
Automating builds makes that process faster.
