Free Access Cisco 200-901 New Release

The Waterfall method is a sequential software development process where a phase begins only after the previous phase has ended. In contrast, Agile development involves iterative processes where phases run in parallel and are continuously improved upon.

A. Waterfall increases agility to implement faster while Agile promotes reliability - Incorrect. This is the opposite of the typical characteristics of these methods. B. A phase begins after the previous phase has ended in Waterfall while Agile phases run in parallel - Correct. Waterfall is linear and sequential, while Agile is iterative and parallel. C. Customers get feedback during the process in Waterfall while they can see the result at the end in Agile - Incorrect. Agile involves continuous feedback, whereas Waterfall typically provides feedback only at the end. D. Requirements can be updated in Waterfall while in Agile it should be gathered in the beginning - Incorrect. Requirements in Agile can be updated continuously, while Waterfall requires requirements to be defined upfront.

Waterfall vs. Agile Methodologies

The agile process allows for incremental delivery of features, meaning new functionalities can be added or existing ones updated in small, manageable increments. This is in contrast to the waterfall model, where all phases are completed before the product is delivered. Agile enables continuous improvement and adaptation to changing requirements throughout the development process.

The exhibit illustrates a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. This method involves continuous integration of code from multiple developers, automated testing, and continuous delivery/deployment to production. It ensures that code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed, promoting efficient and reliable software development practices.

The task is to determine which command correctly outputs the page_id value from the JSON payload shown in the Python 3.7 script. Let’s analyze the options and the payload structure to verify the correct answer.

JSON Payload Analysis:

The JSON payload provided in the exhibit shows that items is a key in the top-level dictionary.

The value of items is a list of dictionaries, and each dictionary contains various keys, including page_id.

Code Analysis:

The JSON data returned by the get_json function is assigned to the variable items.

The goal is to access the page_id key within the first dictionary of the list associated with the items key.

Options Analysis:

Option A: print(items['items']['page_id'])

This will not work because items['items'] is a list, not a dictionary. Attempting to access ['page_id'] directly from a list will result in a TypeError.

Option B: print(items.get('items').get('page_id'))

This will also not work for the same reason as Option A. items.get('items') returns a list, and calling .get('page_id') on a list is invalid.

Option C: print(items.get('items')[0].get('page_id'))

This is correct. items.get('items') returns the list, [0] accesses the first element of the list (which is a dictionary), and .get('page_id') retrieves the value of the page_id key from that dictionary.

Option D: print(items['items']['page_id'].keys())

This will fail because items['items'] is a list and does not have a keys() method.

Correct Explanation:

The JSON structure contains a list under the key items.

To access page_id, we first need to get the first dictionary in this list ([0]).

We then access the page_id key in this dictionary.

Example:

print(items.get('items')[0].get('page_id'))

This code correctly navigates through the structure and retrieves the value associated with page_id.
