Microsoft Recertification for MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management Sample Questions:

1. You are developing an application by using a team of developers and a team of testers. You have an automated nightly build.
Currently, the testers take too long to test and the developers are closing a large number of bugs as "unable to reproduce."
You need to improve the test cycle time.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A) Instruct the testers to test only every other build.
B) Assign an extra day for testing at the end of the iteration.
C) Enable code analysis.
D) Instruct the testers to use diagnostic data collection in their test environment.
E) Instruct the testers to use action recordings and playback during manual testing.

2. Your network environment includes a single Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You are using the Default Template to build a solution that will be debugged by using IntelliTrace.
You need to ensure that symbols will be available to IntelliTrace for each build.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)

A) Add the UNC path to the build's list of working folders.
B) Update the build definition to set IndexSources to True.
C) Update the build definition by configuring the UNC path to Publish Symbols.
D) Set up a UNC path to the symbol location (for example, \\sharename\symbols) and grant Full Control permissions to the user account under which the build agent is running.
E) Configure the build trigger for Continuous Integration.

3. You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM).
You have a shared steps work item that you want to hide in the Shared Steps Manager.
You need to ensure that only active shared steps work items are displayed.
What should you do?

A) For the shared steps work item, change the Show in Shared Step Manager setting to Do Not Show.
B) Change the state of the shared steps work item to Closed, then customize the filter of the Shared Steps Manager view to display shared steps that have the status Active.
C) Delete the shared steps work item from all test cases where it is used, then delete the shared steps work item from the Shared Steps Manager.
D) Change the state of the shared steps work item to Removed.

4. DRAG DROP
Your team uses Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) to manage the software development process. You are using the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum process template on your TFS Team Project.
Your product owner adds new product backlog items to your backlog.
You need to estimate how many sprints are necessary to complete the work in your backlog.
You have set a value for the Effort field for each product backlog item found in your backlog as a first step.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

5. Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server. You have two teams named Team A and Team B working on a team project.
You assign work items to a team area for each team. Each person belongs to only one team.
You need to provide read-only access to work items in the Team A area node to Team B by using the least number of permissions changes.
What should you do?

A) Set the Edit Work Items in this Node permission for Team B as Deny to the Team A node and each child of the Team A node.
B) Set the View Work Items in This Node permission to allow Team B to access the Team A team node and each child node.
C) Set the Edit Work Items in This Node permission for Team B as Deny for the Team A node.
D) Set the View Work Items in This Node permission to allow Team B to access the Team A node.
