A network automation team is adopting a code review process for their Python scripts that manage device configurations. They want to catch common issues early without requiring every team member to manually inspect every line. Which technique best complements manual review?

Integrate a static analysis tool into the CI pipeline to run on every pull request

Require the author to run a linter locally but not share the results

Have the most senior engineer review all code after it is merged to production

Use pair programming for all changes and skip the pull request review

A network automation team is about to deploy a new Python script that configures VLANs on hundreds of switches. A code review is conducted. Which outcome is a direct benefit of this review?

The reviewer finds a logic error that would have caused incorrect VLAN assignments on some switches.

The script runs faster because the review optimized the code.

The review eliminates the need for testing the script.

The review guarantees the script will work in all environments.

A network automation team is implementing a code review process for their Git-based workflow. The team lead wants to ensure that reviews are constructive and focused on the code, not the author. Which guideline best supports this principle?

Use objective language and reference specific lines or behaviors in comments

Allow only senior engineers to comment on pull requests

Require the author to respond to every comment with a justification

Criticize the author's coding style in general terms to encourage improvement

A network automation team is under pressure to deliver a critical fix for a security vulnerability in a device configuration script. The fix is small but touches a shared module used by many other scripts. The team lead wants to balance speed with safety. The team has a CI pipeline that runs unit tests and a linter. What is the best approach?

Merge the fix directly to the main branch and run CI after merge to save time

Require two reviewers and a full manual regression test of all dependent scripts before merging

Have the original author of the shared module review the fix offline, then merge without CI

Create a pull request, run CI checks, and have one experienced reviewer approve it before merging

A team is debating whether to implement code reviews. Which statement best justifies the investment in a code review process?

Code reviews reduce the number of defects that reach production, saving time and money in the long run.

Code reviews guarantee bug-free code.

Code reviews eliminate the need for testing.

Code reviews are required by all network vendors.
