Microsoft GH-300 Practice Test 40
Question 390
A maintainer uses Copilot to understand a large PR and locate a new API owner. Which TWO actions support efficient and accurate review? (Select TWO.)
- Approve the change based solely on the generated summary.
- Guess ownership from the name of an unrelated component.
- Request a PR summary grounded in the actual changed files.

Question 391

Explanation
Correct Answer
B:A cache is beneficial only when freshness and resource tradeoffs fit.
Incorrect Answers

Question 396
Copilot creates a unit test that asserts a calculator returns a number without checking its value. What should change?
- Compare case variants and confirm the intended normalization rule.
- Assert independently calculated results for normal, boundary, and invalid inputs.
- Exercise maximum supported ranges and assert overflow handling.
- Include explicit empty-file and missing-header outcomes with expected errors.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Tests need exact expected behavior, not only type compatibility.
Incorrect Answers
A:Case-folding is a functional contract that simple examples may miss. Tests need exact expected behavior, not only type compatibility.
C:Extreme values reveal safety behavior absent from typical examples. What should change. Tests need exact expected behavior, not only type compatibility.
D:Input boundaries frequently expose parsing defects. tests need exact expected behavior, not only type compatibility.
Question 397

- Add negative tests for wrong credentials, expired sessions, and unauthorized resources.
- Exercise maximum supported ranges and assert overflow handling.
- Assert independently calculated results for normal, boundary, and invalid inputs.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Security-sensitive behavior is often defined by the denial paths.
Incorrect Answers
A:Input boundaries frequently expose parsing defects. security-sensitive behavior is often defined by the denial paths.
C:Extreme values reveal safety behavior absent from typical examples. What is missing. Security-sensitive behavior is often defined by the denial paths.
D:Tests need exact expected behavior, not only type compatibility. security-sensitive behavior is often defined by the denial paths.
