A team has a code review process, but some developers feel that reviews are too critical and personal. What principle should be emphasized to improve the review culture?

Avoid giving negative feedback to keep morale high.

Use automated tools only and skip human review.

Focus feedback on the code, not the author, and use a constructive tone.

Only senior engineers can give feedback.

A team is considering whether to adopt pair programming or pull request reviews. They value early defect detection but also want to minimize the time developers spend on review activities. Which approach best balances these goals?

Use pair programming for all code, as it provides continuous review.

Use pull request reviews with a checklist and require CI to pass before merge.

Skip review and rely on CI tests only.

Have a senior engineer review all code after merge.

A team wants to catch common coding mistakes in their Python automation scripts before human review. Which technique should they add to their development workflow?

Use a code obfuscator to hide logic errors.

Have every developer manually read the entire codebase daily.

Run a static analysis tool such as pylint or flake8 as part of the CI pipeline.

Wait for users to report bugs after deployment.

A network automation team is distributed across multiple time zones. They want to implement a code review process that works well for their remote team. Which approach is most suitable?

Require all reviews to be done in real-time video calls.

Use asynchronous pull request reviews with clear guidelines and reasonable response time expectations.

Have one person in each time zone review all code.

Skip reviews for remote team members.
