Just 1 hr. of time spent in brushing up your knowledge just before the ISTQB Agile Tester Extension Exam shall be of great help in clearing it.
Set of 10 Questions (Q. 141 to 150) with detailed explanation
Q. 141: What is the utility of Continuous integration tools to the agile team?
1) Quick feedback code quality
2) Stepwise integration of systems
3) Visibility on build status and history
4) Automatic reporting
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 142: What is the utility of Automatic deployment tools to the agile team?
1) Locate and install appropriate build in test environment
2) Reduce errors and delays of hand installation
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 143: What is configuration management (CM)?
Configuration
management is a systems engineering process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product’s performance, functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design and operational information throughout its life.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 144: What is the utility of configuration management tools?
Configuration management tools are used for;
1) Store source code, automated tests, manual tests, and other test work products
2) Provide traceability between which versions of software and the tests used
3) Allow rapid change while saving historical information
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 145: What are the different types of version control systems?
1) Centralized source control systems and
2) Distributed version control systems.
The team size, structure, location, and requirements to integrate with other tools will determine which version control system is right for a particular Agile project.

Q. 146: What is the utility of Test data preparation and generation tools to the agile team?
# For generating data to populate an application’s database when a lot of data and combinations of data are necessary to test the application.
# For helping re-define the database structure as the product undergoes changes during an Agile project and refactor the scripts to generate the data.
# For quickly updating of test data as changes occur.
# For using production data sources as a raw material and using scripts to remove or anonymize sensitive data.
# For helping with validating large data inputs or outputs.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 147: What is the utility of Test data load tools to the agile team?
# For loading the generated data into the application.
# For making the manual data entry process more reliable and efficient by the use of data load tools.
# Data generator tools have integrated data load facility.
# For bulk-loading we can use the database management systems.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 148: What is the utility of automated test execution tools to the agile team?
# For supporting test first approaches, like behaviour-driven development, test-driven development, and acceptance test-driven development.
# For Expressing the expected system behaviour in tables or natural language using keywords.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 149: What is the utility of exploratory test tools to the agile team?
# For capturing and logging activities performed on an application during an exploratory test session
# These are useful when a defect is found, as the actions were taken before the failure occurred have been captured and can be used to report the defect to the developers.
# Logging steps performed in an exploratory test session are beneficial if the test is ultimately included in the automated regression test suite.
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 150: What is Virtualization?
# Virtualization is a technique by which we can use a single physical resource or computer server to operate as many separate and smaller resources.
# When virtual machines or cloud instances are used, agile teams have a number of servers available to them for development and testing.
# It helps in avoiding delays in waiting for physical servers.
# Various virtualization tools with snapshot capabilities are available. We can efficiently create a new virtual server with the help of such tools.
