Microsoft Recertification for MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management Sample Questions:

1. Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
The Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Center of Excellence of your organization has created a ruleset to perform the code analysis of the code being developed.
You need to ensure that all developer's code passes the static code analysis with the custom ruleset at the time of check in.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A) Add Code Analysis check-in policy team project source control settings. When prompted, select the custom ruleset file by browsing under the source control.
B) Distribute the .reg file that you have created to all developers and request them to run it with elevated privileges.
C) Under the source control of the team project, check in the .ruleset file.
D) Create a .reg file on your machine to add a registry entry for the Code Analysis policy with the custom ruleset under H KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\1 11.0_Config\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies.

2. You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) to perform exploratory testing.
You need to ensure that any bugs or test cases created during an exploratory test session are associated with a specific requirement for the purposes of traceability.
What should you do?

A) Create a requirement suite in the test plan, right-click on the suite, and select Explore Requirement.
B) From the Run Tests activity, select a test case that is a part of a requirement suite and select Run.
C) From the Test activity, select View Exploratory Test Sessions. Open a session and click the Copy Link button.
D) From the Do Exploratory Testing activity, select Explore.

3. Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server that has separate computers for the application tier and the data tier.
The data-tier computer experiences hardware failure. You restore all the data of TFS on another computer in the network by using a backup.
You need to provide the location of the restored database to the application tier of TFS without reinstalling the application tier.
What should you do?

A) Use the Application Tier node of the TFS Administration Console.
B) Run the TfsConfig reqisterDB command.
C) Run the Tfsmqmt.exe configure command.
D) Use the Team Foundation Backups node of the TFS Administration Console.

4. Your development team reports that the operations team is not providing sufficient information for the development team to efficiently diagnose problems in production.
You need to identify standard data that the operations team should provide when they submit requests to the development team.
Which two standard artifacts should you include? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A) Test impact analysis.
B) Performance monitor configuration file.
C) Event log information.
D) Name of the application, server(s), and issue description.
E) IntelliTrace configuration file.

5. You are a technical team lead. Your company network includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You are assigned to work on a project with an internal development team and an off-site vendor who is new to working with your company.
You need to ensure that the code delivered by the off-site vendor is of an acceptable quality, conforms to standards, and does not affect production support.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose three.)

A) Implement custom and standard check-in policies to force compliance to standards, passing of unit tests, and running static code analysis.
B) Implement a policy requiring developers to shelve their changes at the end of each day.
C) Implement a gated check-in build.
D) Implement an email alert that is triggered when the off-site vendor's developers check in code.
E) Implement a branching and permissions strategy that isolates vendor changes.
