[All CSQE Questions]

During concurrent development., a user reported a problem with Version 1 of the software product. A software quality engineer determined the problem originated m Version 2 of the product. Which of the following actions would be most appropriate for the software quality engineer to take first to fix the problem?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In a concurrent development environment, when a problem is identified in an earlier version (Version 1) that originated in a later version (Version 2), the appropriate action involves managing the code versions effectively. Branching the Version 2 codeline is the most appropriate first step because:

Isolation of Changes: Branching allows for the isolation of the problematic code in Version 2, enabling targeted fixes without affecting ongoing development in other versions.

Concurrent Development: This approach supports concurrent development activities, allowing different teams to work on fixing the issue in Version 2 while continuing development on other versions.

I see your point, Gaynell, but I think labeling Version 2 as part of Version 1 could help track the origin of the problem more effectively.

I'm just picturing the software quality engineer trying to fix the problem by doing a dance routine. That would be about as effective as some of these other options.

Adding new functionality to Version 2? What is this, a comedy show? We need to focus on resolving the existing problem, not creating more work for ourselves.

Labeling Version 2 as part of Version 1? Now that's just asking for trouble. Talk about confusing the end-users and the development team. Let's keep things organized and fix this properly.

I disagree. I think merging the fix into Version 3 would be more efficient in the long run.

I agree with Corinne. Branching the Version 2 codeline would allow for a separate development path to fix the problem.

I'm not sure merging the fix into Version 3 is the best idea. That might just create more problems down the line. We need to address the issue at its source in Version 2.

Branching the Version 2 codeline seems like the logical first step to isolate the issue and fix it without disrupting the other versions. This way, we can work on Version 2 without affecting the other releases.
