Pass Your Microsoft 70-498 Exam Easy!

Q65
I think B is better as we need to get into project first to fill in predessessor information into tasks

Questions are valid, 75q is ok.
Just think logical, and let the team decide everything like a democracy.
(Passed today, but not with this answers.)

Hi Glen
It would be perfect. I think we can use this VCE as a template, make agreed changes and upload it back. I've just started the preparation for this exam. Attempt to pass it without preparation, just using common sense, failed 680/700

Hi VS

thanks for your input, and I agree with your choices on Q1, 5, 36.

I am going to modify the vce and upload a new one based on this version, with some answers we have corrected

Q5:You are developing release plans for a new software development project. You need to document a flexibility matrix. Which three elements should you use?
Current: ADF
My version: ACD as flexibility matrix is based od scope, schedule and resourses

Q1. You are the lead developer and architect of a development team that develops line of business (LOB) applications. You need to define an architectural design process for the LOB applications. Which three architectural goals and principles should you adopt?
Current answers:ADE

My version is - ABD
Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee658098.aspx
Key Architecture Principles
Consider the following key principles when designing your architecture:

•Build to change instead of building to last. Consider how the application may need to change over time to address new requirements and challenges, and build in the flexibility to support this.
•Model to analyze and reduce risk. Use design tools, modeling systems such as Unified Modeling Language (UML), and visualizations where appropriate to help you capture requirements and architectural and design decisions, and to analyze their impact. However, do not formalize the model to the extent that it suppresses the capability to iterate and adapt the design easily.
•Use models and visualizations as a communication and collaboration tool. Efficient communication of the design, the decisions you make, and ongoing changes to the design, is critical to good architecture. Use models, views, and other visualizations of the architecture to communicate and share your design efficiently with all the stakeholders, and to enable rapid communication of changes to the design.
•Identify key engineering decisions

Q55, Your development team reports that the operations team is not providing sufficient information for the development team to efficiently diagnose problems in production. You need to identify standard data that the operations team should provide when they submit requests to the development team. Which two standard artifacts should you include

My answer is AC, both are files, I know some people question A, but if it's enabled, a file is created and can be passed around, the next person can use it to rerun the test

------------------------------------------

Q62. You are using the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. You are a scrum master leading a scrum team. Your team is new to Agile and Lean practices. You need to ensure that your team communicates efficiently. Which three actions should you perform

My answer is ABF, it's mentioned in the book (professional scrum development),
the given answer E is absolutely wrong, using email thread to discuss is a horrible exercise

-----------------------------------------

Q75., You are a scrum master. You need to lead the daily scrum meeting. Which three questions should you ask?

My answer is ACE, there is no doubt those should be the right answer

Q29, Your company is considering implementing an application lifecycle management (ALM) strategy. You need to identify the return on investment (ROI) of implementing an ALM strategy. Which three benefits should you recommend?

My answer is BCD
there is no such a thing called bug-free release, no one can say it.
early user feedback is not really a benefit from ALM, but an exercise

------------------------------------------------
Q34. You are developing a new application. The application will require rapid changes after it is in production. You need to implement practices that promote high quality and ensure the code is maintainable. Which three practices should you implement?

My answer is ADF
the given answer C does not make sense at all, "create as few classes as possible" is not a good practice, it might in some case, but cannot be used as a standard

---------------------------------------------

Q36. You design a system architecture that specifies various inter-layer communications. You need to ensure the validity of developers' code against your architecture. Which two actions should you perform?

My answer is CE, without C, E doesn't even make sense

here are some questions I believe the answers are wrong, anyone wants to share your opinion?

Q26
You are developing an application by using a team of developers and a team of testers. You have an automated nightly build. Currently, the testers take too long to test and the developers are closing a large number of bugs as "unable to reproduce." You need to improve the test cycle time. Which two actions should you perform

my answer is:
B. Instruct the testers to use diagnostic data collection in their test environment.
D. Instruct the testers to use action recordings and playback during manual testing.

the given answer A. enable code analysis has nothing to do with testing


--------------------------------------------------------
Q27. Your development team uses Scrum as its process framework. You need to identify key metrics for measuring the effectiveness of any process changes. Which three key metrics should you measure?

My answer is ABC.
the given answer D, number of classes in the code-base should not be used to measure the effectiveness of any process change, it actually means nothing.

----------------------------------------

Q28, You are a technical team lead. Your company network includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server. You are assigned to work on a project with an internal development team and an off-site vendor who is new to working with your company.

My answer is ABD,

can anyone explain why "create as few classes as possible" is a practice to ensure the code is maintainable?

I just don't get why the answer of that question is not ADF, but ACD

Pass exam valid dump.

first, positive about this dump

2 new questions, one is verified seeing in the actual test;
some questions have the correct answers this time

next, negative
still lots of questions are wrong, for example, what to talk about in the daily scrum, the answer in this dump is definitely wrong
