Your development team is building a new web solution by using the Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE).
You need to make a custom package available to all the developers. The package must be managed centrally, and the latest version must be available for consumption in Visual Studio automatically.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
ABE
B: By using your custom NuGet package feed within your Azure DevOps (previously VSTS) instance, you'll be able to distribute your packages within your organization with ease.
Start by creating a new feed.
A: We can publish, pack and push the built project to our NuGet feed.
E: Consume your private NuGet Feed
Go back to the Packages area in Azure DevOps, select your feed and hit ג€Connect to feedג€. You'll see some instructions for your feed, but it's fairly simple to set up.
Just copy your package source URL, go to Visual Studio, open the NuGet Package Manager, go to its settings and add a new source. Choose a fancy name, insert the source URL. Done.
Search for your package in the NuGet Package Manager and it should appear there, ready for installation. Make sure to select the appropriate feed (or just all feeds) from the top right select box.

Your company uses GitHub for source control. The company has a team that performs code reviews.
You need to automate the assignment of the code reviews. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Prioritize the assignment of code reviews to team members who have the fewest outstanding assignments.
✑ Ensure that each team member performs an equal number of code reviews in any 30-day period.
✑ Prevent the assignment of code reviews to the team leader.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
AE
A: To always skip certain members of the team, select Never assign certain team members. Then, select one or more team members you'd like to always skip. In this case select the team leader.
E: The load balance algorithm chooses reviewers based on each member's total number of recent review requests and considers the number of outstanding reviews for each member. The load balance algorithm tries to ensure that each team member reviews an equal number of pull requests in any 30 day period.
Incorrect Answers:
D: The round robin algorithm chooses reviewers based on who's received the least recent review request, focusing on alternating between all members of the team regardless of the number of outstanding reviews they currently have.

You have a GitHub repository.
You create a new repository in Azure DevOps.
You need to recommend a procedure to clone the repository from GitHub to Azure DevOps.
What should you recommend?
Answer:
D
You can import an existing Git repo from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or other location into a new or empty existing repo in your project in Azure DevOps.
Import into a new repo -
✑ Select Repos, Files.
✑ From the repo drop-down, select Import repository.
✑ If the source repo is publicly available, just enter the clone URL of the source repository and a name for your new Git repository.

The lead developer at your company reports that adding new application features takes longer than expected due to a large accumulated technical debt.
You need to recommend changes to reduce the accumulated technical debt.
Solution: You recommend increasing the code duplication.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer:
B
Instead reduce the code complexity.
Note: Technical debt is the accumulation of sub-optimal technical decisions made over the lifetime of an application. Eventually, it gets harder and harder to change things: it's the 'sand in the gears' that sees IT initiatives grind to a halt.

During a code review, you discover quality issues in a Java application.
You need to recommend a solution to detect quality issues including unused variables and empty catch blocks.
What should you recommend?
Answer:
A
PMD is a source code analyzer. It finds common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and so forth.
There is an Apache Maven PMD Plugin which allows you to automatically run the PMD code analysis tool on your project's source code and generate a site report with its results.
Incorrect Answers:
B: xcpretty is a fast and flexible formatter for xcodebuild.

You use Azure Artifacts to host NuGet packages that you create.
You need to make one of the packages available to anonymous users outside your organization. The solution must minimize the number of publication points.
What should you do?
Answer:
B
Azure Artifacts introduces the concept of multiple feeds that you can use to organize and control access to your packages.
Packages you host in Azure Artifacts are stored in a feed. Setting permissions on the feed allows you to share your packages with as many or as few people as your scenario requires.
Feeds have four levels of access: Owners, Contributors, Collaborators, and Readers.

You use GitHub for source control and project-related discussions.
You receive a notification when an entry is made to any team discussion.
You need to ensure that you receive email notifications only for discussions in which you commented or in which you are mentioned.
Which two Notifications settings should you clear? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
BC
C: If "Automatically watch repositories" is disabled, then you will not automatically watch your own repositories. You must navigate to your repository page and choose the watch option.
A, C: Automatic watching -
By default, anytime you gain access to a new repository, you will automatically begin watching that repository. Anytime you join a new team, you will automatically be subscribed to updates and receive notifications when that team is @mentioned. If you don't want to automatically be subscribed, you can unselect the automatic watching options.
Incorrect:
Not D: When you watch a repository, you're subscribing to updates for activity in that repository. Similarly, when you watch a specific team's discussions, you're subscribing to all conversation updates on that team's page.
