Microsoft Recertification for MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management Sample Questions:

1. 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? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A) IntelliTrace configuration file.
B) Event log information.
C) Performance monitor configuration file.
D) Name of the application, server(s), and issue description.
E) Test impact analysis.

2. Your organization uses a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 environment on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 server.
The Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 server has a SQL Server 2008 R2 environment, as well as a Microsoft Office SharePoint Foundation 2010 environment. Your organization wants to perform an in-place upgrade to the 2013 version of TFS.
You need to prepare the environment to meet the minimum requirements for the upgrade.
What should you do?

A) Upgrade the SharePoint Server to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2013, Enterprise edition.
B) Add a test lab server.
C) Upgrade all tiers to Windows Server 2012.
D) Upgrade SQL Server to SQL Server 2012 SP1.

3. Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You need to view performance data related to client connections and commands being executed against the TFS server.
What should you do?

A) Browse to http: <servername> 8080/tfs/teamfoundation/administration/ v3.0/ warehousecontrolservice.asmx and select Processing Status.
B) Query the tbl_Command table in each TFS Team Project Collection database.
C) Use the TFS Administration Console to view the TFS logs.
D) Query the tbl_ClientEvent table in each TFS Team Project Collection database.

4. You develop a solution that contains an ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) application. You have a continuous integration build named CodeBuild which compiles the application. Your information technology (IT) department provides you with a virtual machine (VM) for testing purposes. The VM has Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 installed and configured.
Currently, developers publish to the VM directly from Visual Studio when the test team requests a deployment. The current release process is unreliable and burdensome to the development team.
You need to create an efficient and flexible method to automate the deployment of the website when requested by the test team.
What should you do?

A) Make the IIS Web Directory on the test VM a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) file share.
Modify the CodeBuild, setting this share as the drop folder for the build.
Instruct the test team to invoke the CodeBuild when they wish to test.
B) Create a Powershell script that copies the website from the build drop folder to the test VM.
Check in the script to TFS.
Add an activity to the CodeBuild workflow that invokes the PowerShell script.
C) Customize the CodeBuild workflow to copy the website from the build drop folder to the IIS web directory on the test VM.
Instruct the test team to invoke the CodeBuild when they wish to test.
D) Create a standard environment using the test VM.
Create a lab workflow named DeployBuild and select CodeBuild as the source build.
Configure a deployment command to copy the website from the build drop folder to the IIS web directory.
Instruct the test team to invoke the DeployBuild when they request a new release.

5. You are planning to install a new Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You need to ensure that the minimum supported version of Microsoft SQL Server is installed.
Which version should you install?

A) SQL Server 2008 64-bit
B) SQL Server 2008 R2
C) SQL Server 2008 32-bit
D) SQL Server 2005
E) SQL Server 2012
