Practice questions
What should a developer clarify before writing code for a new feature?
Clarify the user goal, acceptance criteria, data needs, edge cases, constraints, non-functional requirements, dependencies, and how the feature will be tested.
Why do professional software teams use pull requests and code reviews?
They improve quality, share knowledge, catch defects early, document decisions, protect the main branch, and create evidence that changes were reviewed before release.
How does Agile help software teams deliver value?
Agile helps teams deliver small increments, gather feedback, adapt priorities, improve collaboration, and reduce the risk of building the wrong thing for too long.
