A company has a monolithic application that is difficult to scale and deploy because any small change requires redeploying the entire application. They want to improve scalability and enable independent deployment of features. Which architectural approach should they adopt?

Adopt a service-oriented architecture (SOA) without changing the deployment process.

Use containerization but keep the monolith architecture.

Refactor the application into microservices, each deployed independently.

Keep the monolith but use a more powerful server.

A development team is working on a large feature that has been developed on a branch for several weeks. They want to integrate it into the main branch with minimal risk and ensure that the code works with the latest changes. Which practice should they follow?

Create a new branch from the feature branch for each developer.

Frequently merge the main branch into the feature branch and run automated tests.

Wait until the feature is complete and then merge it all at once.

Only run tests at the end of the sprint.

What is the primary purpose of monitoring in a software system?

To manage user permissions and access control.

To write automated tests for the application.

To track the health and performance of the system in real time.

To compile and build the application.

Which practice is a key component of Continuous Integration?

Keeping feature branches isolated for weeks to avoid conflicts.

Manually building the application before each release.

Running automated tests on every commit to the shared repository.

Deploying to production only after all features are complete.

What does Continuous Delivery aim to ensure?

That all testing is performed manually before each release.

That the software is always in a releasable state, with deployment to production being a manual decision.

That releases happen only once per year to minimize risk.

That every code change is immediately deployed to production automatically.
