Explanation:

Agile development is a software development methodology that emphasizes iterative development, team collaboration, and continuous improvement. It involves breaking down a project into small, manageable increments, and then developing and testing each increment in a short period of time.

Which of the following is a popular programming language for web development?

  1. Python

  2. JavaScript

  3. Java

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Python, JavaScript, and Java are all popular programming languages for web development. Python is a general-purpose language that is easy to learn and use, making it a good choice for beginners. JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to create interactive web pages. Java is a powerful and versatile language that is used to develop a wide variety of applications, including web applications.

What is the term for the practice of using data to improve software development processes?

  1. Data-driven development

  2. Evidence-based software engineering

  3. Empirical software engineering

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data-driven development, evidence-based software engineering, and empirical software engineering are all terms for the practice of using data to improve software development processes. This can involve collecting data on software development activities, such as code changes, bug reports, and test results, and then using that data to identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement.

Which of the following is a popular tool for version control?

  1. Git

  2. Mercurial

  3. Subversion

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Git, Mercurial, and Subversion are all popular tools for version control. Version control is a system that allows developers to track changes to code over time. This makes it easy to collaborate on projects, revert to previous versions of code, and manage multiple branches of code.

What is the term for the practice of writing software that is easy to test?

  1. Testable code

  2. Testability

  3. Test-driven development

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Testable code, testability, and test-driven development are all terms for the practice of writing software that is easy to test. This involves writing code that is modular, well-structured, and has a clear separation of concerns. It also involves writing unit tests that can be used to automatically verify the correctness of the code.

Which of the following is a popular framework for building web applications?

  1. Django

  2. Flask

  3. Spring Boot

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Django, Flask, and Spring Boot are all popular frameworks for building web applications. Django is a full-stack framework that includes everything you need to build a web application, including a web server, a database, and a templating engine. Flask is a lightweight framework that is easy to learn and use. Spring Boot is a Java framework that is known for its simplicity and ease of use.

What is the term for the practice of developing software that is secure by design?

  1. Secure software development

  2. Security-by-design

  3. DevSecOps

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Secure software development, security-by-design, and DevSecOps are all terms for the practice of developing software that is secure by design. This involves considering security requirements early in the software development process and taking steps to mitigate security risks throughout the development lifecycle.

Which of the following is a popular tool for continuous integration?

  1. Jenkins

  2. Travis CI

  3. CircleCI

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Jenkins, Travis CI, and CircleCI are all popular tools for continuous integration. Continuous integration is the practice of automatically building and testing code changes as soon as they are committed to a version control repository. This helps to catch bugs early and ensure that the code is always in a buildable and testable state.

What is the term for the practice of deploying software updates frequently and in small increments?

  1. Continuous deployment

  2. Continuous delivery

  3. Rolling updates

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Continuous deployment, continuous delivery, and rolling updates are all terms for the practice of deploying software updates frequently and in small increments. This helps to reduce the risk of introducing bugs and makes it easier to roll back to previous versions of the software if necessary.

Which of the following is a popular tool for container orchestration?

  1. Kubernetes

  2. Docker Swarm

  3. Apache Mesos

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Apache Mesos are all popular tools for container orchestration. Container orchestration is the process of managing and scheduling containers in a distributed environment. This involves tasks such as load balancing, service discovery, and health monitoring.
