AZ-400: Design and Implement Source Control Competency (Intermediate Level)

  • 22m
  • 22 questions
The Design and Implement Source Control Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark assesses your ability to design and implement effective source control strategies for software development. You will be evaluated on your skills in effectively creating and managing code branches, managing conflicts and merges, and implementing code reviews to ensure code quality and compliance with development standards. You will also be evaluated on your ability to implement best practices for version control, automate build and deployment processes, and improve efficiency and productivity. Learners who score high on this benchmark demonstrate that they are able to design and implement effective source control strategies, manage code repositories, and ensure code quality and compliance. This competency is essential for software development teams to work together efficiently and effectively, deliver high-quality code, and ensure continuous improvement.
