A network automation team wants to automatically check for security vulnerabilities in their Python code before it is merged. Which tool or technique would best address this need?

Run a security-focused static analysis tool like Bandit in the CI pipeline.

Use a code formatter like Black.

Conduct a manual review of every line of code.

Which of the following is a direct benefit of conducting code reviews?

Improving code quality and enabling early defect detection

Guaranteeing that all code is written by a single developer

Eliminating the need for automated testing

Increasing the number of defects that reach production

A network automation team uses a CI pipeline that runs static analysis and unit tests. They are debating whether to also require a human code review for every change. Which argument best supports the need for human review in addition to automated checks?

Human review is faster than running CI tests.

Human review can catch design flaws and logic errors that automated tools cannot detect.

Automated tools are not reliable enough to be used at all.

Human review eliminates the need for CI tests.

A network automation team is adopting a code review process. Which principle should guide their approach to make reviews effective and sustainable?

Reviews should be done by the author only to save time.

Reviews should focus on style rather than logic.

Reviews should be performed only when a major release is planned.

Reviews should be constructive, focused on the code, and completed in a timely manner.
