[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, Terrilyn. But I think labeling Version 2 as part of Version 1 could also be a valid option to track the origin of the problem.

Ooh, branching the codeline! That's a classic software engineer move, like a surgeon performing open-heart surgery on a computer. Option B is the way to go, folks.

I disagree. I think they should merge the fix into Version 3 to ensure that the problem is resolved in the latest version.

Definitely option B. Merging the fix into Version 3 seems like a leap, and the other options just don't make sense in this situation.

I'd go with option B. Branching the Version 2 codeline is the most logical first step to address the problem without affecting the other versions.
