Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 291

What is the concept of continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelining?

Answer options

• A. The project code is centrally maintained, and each code change should trigger an automated build and test sequence.
• B. The project is split into time-limited cycles, and focuses on pair programming for continuous code review.
• C. The project is split into several phases where one phase cannot start before the previous phase finishes successfully.
• D. Each project phase is independent from other phases to maintain adaptiveness and continual improvement.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because continuous integration/continuous delivery focuses on automating the build and testing process with each code change to ensure quality and integration. Options B and C describe different methodologies that do not align with the principles of CI/CD, while D suggests a lack of interdependence that contradicts the collaborative nature of CI/CD.
