Question 62

The way that Christine’s team completes frequent releases of their product without introducing many new bugs is most likely
  • A Due to paired programming
  • B Using a few manual testers focused on just core functionality for each release.
  • C Using continuous integration, which includes automated testing as part of the software building process, to ensure basic functionality still works properly.
  • D With a full regression test done by the delivery team
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Continuous integration is embedded into releases to ensure that bugs are not being introduced. Regression testing can take a long time and is not a good option for frequent releases. Paired programming is not focused on bugs as much as continuous integration. Manual testers do not need to be involved, as it would be a burden on testing resources if releases are frequently happening, which could be multiple times per day.
