A team has a policy that all pull requests must be reviewed by at least one other developer. However, a developer needs to merge a critical hotfix immediately to resolve a production outage. The reviewer is unavailable. What should the developer do?

Have the developer review their own code and merge it.

Wait until the reviewer is available, even if it delays the fix.

Revert the code to the previous release and deploy that instead.

Merge the hotfix without review, but flag it for a post-incident review and add a regression test.

A development team has noticed an increase in bugs reaching production. They want to improve code quality by having peers review changes before they are merged into the main branch. Which practice should they implement?

Require pull requests with at least one approval from a peer before merging.

Use a version control system but allow developers to merge their own changes without review.

Deploy directly to production after each commit to get faster feedback.

Increase the number of automated tests but skip manual code review.

What is a key benefit of continuous integration?

It eliminates the need for code reviews

It allows developers to detect integration issues early

It ensures that the software is always ready for production deployment

It removes the need for automated testing

A team frequently discovers integration issues only after merging all features at the end of a sprint. They want to detect problems earlier and reduce the time spent fixing merge conflicts. Which practice should they adopt?

Integrate code changes into the main branch multiple times a day, with each integration verified by an automated build.

Have each developer work on a separate copy of the codebase and never merge until the project is complete.

Use a version control system but only commit changes at the end of each week.

Wait until the end of the sprint to merge all feature branches at once.

Which of the following is a key benefit of using a version control system?

It eliminates the need for code documentation

It guarantees that code is free of security vulnerabilities

It automatically writes unit tests for the code

It allows developers to revert to previous versions of code
