Advanced practices of test-driven development can lead to Acceptance Test-driven development (ATDD) where
the criteria specified by the customer are automated into acceptance tests, which then drive the traditional unit
test-driven development (UTDD) process.

Scrum does not include the concept of a Sprint 0. "Sprint 0" has become a phrase misused to describe the
planning that occurs prior to the first sprint.

Question 21 of 30

What are two (2) ways a Development Team can ensure a good application architecture?

Correct answer: C) E)
You chose: C) E)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) The Development Team plans a Sprint 0 at the beginning of a project with the objective of
developing an architecture model used during the following Sprints.
B) A Development Team doesn't need an architecture model in Scrum and should focus on
adding functionality. The architecture will come into place without fail as the Development
Team adds functionality.
C) The Development Team should have a set of guiding architecture principles that every
Development Team member understands and follows when writing code.
D) The Development Team should assign someone to the role of software architect whose job
it is to make sure a consistent architecture is developed.
E) The Development Team plans some time each Sprint to discuss the architecture needed for
the features planned in that Sprint.

Points: 1 out of 1

Feedback
There is no specific "architect" role on a Scrum team, nor is there an architecture planning Sprint. But, a good
architecture doesn't just happen automatically. Guiding principles and frequent conversations on the team help
ensure that the most appropriate architecture is developed as it is needed by features being developed in the
current Sprint.
