DStub

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In a concurrent development environment, when a problem is identified in an earlier version (Version 1) that originated in a later version (Version 2), the appropriate action involves managing the code versions effectively. Branching the Version 2 codeline is the most appropriate first step because:

Isolation of Changes: Branching allows for the isolation of the problematic code in Version 2, enabling targeted fixes without affecting ongoing development in other versions.

Concurrent Development: This approach supports concurrent development activities, allowing different teams to work on fixing the issue in Version 2 while continuing development on other versions.

This seems like a straightforward question about testing environments. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

Wait, what kind of code is this developer replacing? Sounds like they're doing some kind of 'code transplant' operation. I hope they have a good 'code doctor' on hand!

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's A) Regression. The developer is replacing existing code, so they're probably doing a regression test to make sure the new code works the same way.

Regression testing is definitely the way to go when making changes to existing code.

I agree, it's important to test the new code against existing functionality.

Yeah, regression testing is commonly used when replacing code to ensure nothing breaks.

I think you're right, A) Regression makes sense in this scenario.

Hold on, I'm gonna go with B) Static. It's a test environment, right? So it must be static, like a static analysis or code review.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be D) Stub? Seems like the developer is creating a placeholder for the higher-level code to test against.

I think the answer is C) Driver. The developer is replacing higher-level code with a test code that establishes a function and passes test data, which sounds like a driver test environment.
