Pass Your Microsoft 70-498 Exam Easy!

Here is another question I believe the answer provided in the dump is wrong.

you need to improve the test cycle time, which two actions should you perform:
The provided answers are
A. enable code analysis
D. Instruct the testers to use action recordings and playback during manual testing.

I agree with D, but A makes no sense. I believe another correct answer should be B. Instruct the testers to use diagnostic data collection in their test environment. see this page

I still don't get the question about "you are a scrum master. you need to lead the daily scrum meeting, which three questions should you ask?"

I thought they should be
A. what will be done before the next meeting?
C. what has been accomplished since the last meeting?
E. what obstacles are in the way?

why B (what went well?), which should be be a question in retrospect meeting, not in the daily scrum!

Questions 99% valid, answers only about 50-60%, so fail.

I found this question,
you are assigned to work on a project with an internal development team and an off-site vendor who is new, you need to ensure that the code delivered by the off-site vendor is of an acceptable quality.

the answers are ABE

E, implement a policy requiring developers to shelve their change at the end of each day

this answer is definitely ridiculously wrong

A and B make sense, and CDE all seem to be a bit off, if I have to pick one, I will choose D not E

Your Development team reports.. diagnose problems in production.
Your need to identify standard data .. they submit requests.. Which two standard artifacts should you include?
A) Test impact analysis
C) IntelliTrace configuration file

I don't get it how to assign production environment with test impacts and you do not need the:
E) Name of the appliaction, server(s), and issue description.
or
B) Event log information

But I cannot find any reasonable documents about this topic..

You need to ensure that the latest release to production has not broken anything. Which two actions should you perform?
C,D seem to me OK.

By Jorden:
A. Create a new build definition with your tests configured for the production URI(s). Run the tests and have TFS report success or failure.

In my opinion: Why would you even have access to production URI(s)? You should not do anything on prod. env. with test.

Jorden,

For Q9 I'd say the correct answer is:
You need to ensure that your team communicates efficiently.
A. Utilize visual controls, such as task boards.
B. Co-locate team members.
F. Conduct daily face-to-face stand-up meetings

Jorden, I see you changed most of these questions just like me, based on common sense and external docs (and in a lot of them I see the same answers I produced), and still failed.

I rest my case: this exam has plenty of wrong answers coming from Microsoft. :)

All exam questions (49) are from this dump (detected 73 unique questions), which is good. I tried to identify the ~30% questions with wrong answers, based on knowledge, common sense, external doc, and correct those supposed with wrong answers.

I was passing my "dump" with 100% one day before the exam. However I failed, with below 60%, which honestly surprised me a lot. Some "real" answers might be pure crap at the actual exam.

Fail. Questions are valid, but many answers are not.

fail. many question with the wrong answer ,too risky. do not use it.

many questions with the wrong answers, too risky

Questions valid, just passed the exam. Around 15 provided answers are wrong.

Valid , thanks for good share.

Just passed this test. Cert4Prep.com is going good for me too.
