✍️ Sample CAD Questions & Answers
1. The 'Definition of Done' (DoD) affects agile metrics because:
The DoD provides a shared, objective standard so that velocity and acceptance metrics reflect truly finished, shippable work rather than partial efforts.
2. Which Agile practice helps teams continuously improve after each sprint?
Sprint Retrospective allows teams to reflect on what went well, what can be improved, and how to enhance processes for future sprints.
3. Why do Agile teams prefer face-to-face communication over written documentation?
The Agile Manifesto states that face-to-face conversation is the most efficient and effective method of conveying information.
4. Why is it important for CI builds to provide fast feedback to developers?
Fast CI feedback lets developers address problems immediately rather than context-switching back to code written hours or days earlier.
5. What is the primary risk of having a CI pipeline with a test suite that takes over 60 minutes to complete?
Slow test suites discourage frequent commits and delay feedback, which undermines the core benefit of Continuous Integration.
6. What is 'continuous testing' in an Agile/DevOps pipeline?
Continuous testing is the practice of automatically running tests at each pipeline stage — commit, build, integration, staging — so issues are caught as early as possible.
