Deck 8: Development Tools: Choose Wisely

Question 1

A development process that relies on tool automation for code development and deployment is jeopardized when there is a loss of key individuals.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

It is not necessary that each developer on the same project use the exact same tool as his or her colleagues.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Nothing diminishes application performance like inefficient code that takes up all of the available memory.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

The more complicated the tasks that developers have to perform, the more that tools are not needed.

Question 5

Company policies and/or project managers ultimately choose which tools to use; developers can only recommend them.

Question 6

Be certain to have licensed tools issued to the names of individuals on the team.

Question 7

There is a current push in the industry that aims to help bridge the gap between open source tools and proprietary tools.

Question 8

Proprietary tools typically come loaded with extensive features, full-time support, and well-documented help and assistance.

Question 9

It is very rare to have open source tools plug into other open source tools for easier development.

Question 10

A development tool is any hardware or software device that is used to create a software program.

Question 11

The most popular tools for code assistance are called integrated development environments. or IDE's.

Question 12

Using construction tools for automation reinforces the working relationship between humans and computers.

Question 13

Tools that assist with the development of code are much more difficult to use than the old Notepad or VI editors.

Question 14

Experience, exposure, and familiarity play a key role when determining whether a tool is easy to use.

Question 15

Using an IDE is more complex than writing code in the old command-line format.

Question 16

Profiling is a way to identify the performance bottlenecks in an executing path.

Question 17

Choosing tools for software development should only be done by the development team.

Question 18

If you can create quality, secure code through the use of automated tools, you can build a development process that does not have to rely on automation.

Question 19

Evaluate only those development tools that are industry accepted and widely used in various software projects.

Question 20

If the automation is well tested for accuracy and security, it will be dependable.
