Feature branches on the court case-management ART stay open for months, and merges fail just before System Demo. What quality risk should the RTE summarize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Leaving case-file branches in a drawer for months is how you get a collision in the clerk's office the night before demo. Frequent integration is the quality habit that keeps surprises small. Long-lived branches just hide the crash until it is loud.
Full Explanation
Frequent integration is a basic quality practice because long-lived branches accumulate merge conflict, regression, and integration risk. On a court case-management ART, waiting until System Demo week to combine work conceals defects that cheaper, earlier integration would have revealed. The RTE summarizes that risk and coaches shorter-lived branches and continuous integration habits. Isolating every statute on its own branch or merging only in IP iteration increases, rather than reduces, that risk.
