D. Are hard to debug
Answer: C
Explanation: Reusable components standardize functionality across applications and help
reduce code duplication, making maintenance easier.
3. Which of the following is NOT a key goal of applying naming conventions?
A. Improving readability
B. Facilitating searchability
C. Enforcing security controls
D. Reducing ambiguity
Answer: C
Explanation: Naming conventions are primarily about clarity and maintainability rather than
directly enforcing security.
4. What is one advantage of conducting regular code reviews?
A. They slow down development
B. They help catch defects early
C. They increase the number of features
D. They replace unit testing
Answer: B
Explanation: Code reviews can identify potential defects, improve code quality, and enhance
knowledge sharing among team members.
5. What role does static analysis play in ensuring code quality?
A. It executes the code in a live environment
B. It identifies potential errors without running the code
C. It optimizes runtime performance
D. It enforces UI design guidelines
Answer: B

Explanation: Static analysis tools inspect code for errors and enforce coding standards without
executing the code, making them vital for early defect detection.
6. Which practice helps maintain consistent code documentation across a team?
A. Individual developer notes
B. Ad hoc documentation
C. A standard documentation guideline
D. Only documenting complex modules
Answer: C
Explanation: A standardized documentation guideline ensures that every team member
documents their code uniformly, facilitating easier understanding and maintenance.
7. What is the benefit of having automated static code analysis integrated into your CI/CD
pipeline?
A. It increases manual testing
B. It provides immediate feedback on code quality
C. It removes the need for code reviews
D. It solely focuses on performance issues
Answer: B
Explanation: Integrating static analysis into CI/CD pipelines gives developers immediate
feedback on code issues, improving overall quality early in the development cycle.
8. When evaluating code maintainability, which factor is LEAST important?
A. Readability
B. Modularity
C. Reusability
D. Aesthetic appeal of the code
Answer: D
Explanation: While formatting matters, the aesthetic appeal is far less important than practical
aspects such as readability, modularity, and reusability.
9. Which tool is commonly used for static code analysis in OutSystems development?
A. OutSystems Lifetime
B. CodeLogic
C. Visual Studio Code
D. OutSystems Forge’s Best Practices Analyzer
Answer: D
Explanation: OutSystems Forge provides analyzers and best practices modules that help with
static code analysis in OutSystems applications.
10. A developer notices duplicated logic across multiple modules. What should be the first
step to improve maintainability?
A. Delete all the modules
B. Refactor the logic into a single reusable component
C. Document the duplication for future reference

D. Increase code comments in each module
Answer: B
Explanation: Refactoring duplicated logic into a single reusable component reduces redundancy
and improves maintainability.
11. What is the primary benefit of using OutSystems’ built-in version control features?
A. It automates code generation
B. It manages code history and team collaboration
C. It only supports local versioning
D. It eliminates the need for backups
Answer: B
Explanation: OutSystems’ version control features help track code changes, manage history,
and support team collaboration effectively.
12. Which strategy is most effective in managing conflicts when multiple developers work
on the same module?
A. Avoid using version control
B. Rely solely on email communication
C. Use branching and merging strategies
D. Work independently and merge at the end of the project
Answer: C
Explanation: Branching and merging strategies help isolate changes and manage conflicts
systematically during integration.
13. What does a “branch” in version control allow a team to do?
A. Immediately deploy to production
B. Develop new features in isolation
C. Remove the entire project
D. Disable collaboration
Answer: B
Explanation: Branching allows developers to create isolated environments to work on new
features or fixes without impacting the main codebase.
14. During a code merge, you encounter conflicts. What is the best approach to resolve
these?
A. Overwrite all changes with one version
B. Review conflicting code and manually merge changes
C. Delete the conflicting module
D. Revert to an earlier commit
Answer: B
Explanation: Manual review during merge conflicts is necessary to decide which changes to
keep, ensuring that important updates are not lost.

15. Which practice is most effective for enhancing team collaboration using version
control?
A. Keeping changes local until the end
B. Frequent commits with clear messages
C. Merging only at the end of the project
D. Not documenting commit history
Answer: B
Explanation: Frequent commits with clear messages improve traceability and enable better
collaboration among team members.
16. How does version control contribute to overall project quality?
A. By reducing testing efforts
B. By facilitating rollback and auditing changes
C. By eliminating the need for code reviews
D. By making code unreadable
Answer: B
Explanation: Version control systems allow teams to revert to previous versions and audit
changes, which is essential for maintaining high-quality projects.
17. What is a common branching model used to support parallel development?
A. Trunk-based development
B. Waterfall branching
C. Feature branching
D. Sequential branching
Answer: C
Explanation: Feature branching is widely used to allow developers to work on features in
isolation before integrating them into the main branch.
18. When managing team collaboration, what is an essential component of resolving
conflicts?
A. Avoiding discussion about changes
B. Establishing clear communication channels
C. Ignoring merge conflicts
D. Working on isolated projects
Answer: B
