Question: 1

A large multinational corporation is considering GitHub Copilot for its global software development
teams. Security is a high priority for them due to regulatory compliance in multiple regions. They require
features like Single Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, detailed audit logs, and the ability to run GitHub
Copilot on both cloud-hosted and self-hosted (on-premise) GitHub environments. Which plan would best
meet their security and operational requirements?

A. Copilot Individual
B. Copilot Business
C. Copilot Enterprise
D. Copilot Business for non-GHE

Answer: C
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: This plan is for individual users and freelancers, and lacks any of the enterprise-level security
features like SSO or audit logs. It does not support large-scale deployments or self-hosted environments,
which disqualifies it as an option for a multinational corporation with complex security and compliance
requirements.

Option B: Copilot Business is a good fit for organizations working in cloud-hosted GitHub environments
and needing centralized administration and billing. However, it does not provide the high-level security
features, such as detailed audit logs or integration with on-premise (self-hosted) environments, that this
multinational corporation requires. It also lacks SSO, a critical feature for this scenario.

Option C: Copilot Enterprise is the best plan for this corporation because it offers advanced security
features like Single Sign-On (SSO), audit logs, and the ability to work across both cloud-hosted and self-
hosted GitHub Enterprise environments. This plan is specifically tailored for organizations with rigorous
security and compliance needs, making it ideal for large, regulated corporations.

Option D: While the organization is not specifically using GitHub Enterprise Server, they do require the
ability to operate across both cloud-hosted and self-hosted environments. Copilot Business for non-GHE
does not provide support for self-hosted setups or the high-level security features they need. Additionally,
this term is redundant—Copilot Business already implies non-GHE environments.

Question: 2

You are working on a Python function find_max(numbers) that returns the largest number in a list. The
function is defined as follows:

1. def find_max(numbers):
2. if not numbers:

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 3

3. return None
4. max_num = numbers[0]
5. for num in numbers[1:]:
6. if num > max_num:
7. max_num = num
8. return max_num

You want to use GitHub Copilot to help identify edge cases and suggest tests to ensure the function works
correctly in all situations. Which approach should you take to get the most comprehensive test
suggestions from Copilot?

A. Ask Copilot to generate tests using large sets of random numbers to ensure scalability.
B. Rely on Copilot to generate a basic test for a list of three numbers and manually test other cases.
C. Use Copilot to suggest test cases by outlining possible edge cases, such as an empty list, a list with
one element, or a list of all identical elements.
D. Instruct Copilot to generate test cases for lists that contain only positive numbers, assuming negative
numbers are not relevant.

Answer: C
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: While generating tests with large sets of random numbers can check performance and
scalability, it won’t necessarily uncover edge cases, such as an empty list or a list with only one element.
Random tests may not provide comprehensive coverage for edge cases that impact correctness.

Option B: Generating a test for only three numbers and relying on manual testing for other cases is
inefficient. Copilot can suggest multiple relevant test cases in one go if provided with a detailed prompt,
saving time and reducing the likelihood of missing important test scenarios.

Option C: The best approach is to instruct Copilot to suggest test cases by specifically describing
possible edge cases like an empty list, a single-element list, and a list of all identical elements. These edge
cases are likely to trigger unique behaviors in the function, and describing them to Copilot will lead to
more useful and targeted suggestions.

Option D: Focusing only on positive numbers overlooks important edge cases, such as lists that contain
negative numbers or a mix of negative and positive values. These scenarios are critical for ensuring the
robustness of the function.

Question: 3

A software development team at a mid-sized enterprise wants to integrate GitHub Copilot into their
workflow. They are particularly concerned about data privacy, code security, and IP indemnity. Their
security policies restrict sharing code with external AI training datasets. Given these concerns, which

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 4

GitHub Copilot plan would be the most suitable for them?

A. GitHub Copilot Business

B. GitHub Copilot Free
C. GitHub Copilot Individual
D. GitHub Copilot for Open Source

Answer: A
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: GitHub Copilot Business is designed specifically for organizations that need data privacy and
security features but do not require GitHub Enterprise. It includes IP indemnity and prevents code
snippets from being used to train GitHub’s AI models, ensuring compliance with security policies. It also
provides organization-wide management features, making it a good fit for enterprise teams.

Option B: This plan is available to individual GitHub customers who don't have access to Copilot
through an organization or enterprise. This free tier provides limited access to select features of Copilot.

Option C: The GitHub Copilot Individual plan does not offer enterprise-grade security features or IP
indemnity. It allows suggestions based on public code but does not have data protection controls suited
for a business setting. Additionally, Copilot Individual does not offer the ability to block code from being
used to train AI models, which can be a privacy concern for businesses.

Option D: Copilot for Open Source is not a formal plan. While GitHub provides Copilot at no cost for
maintainers of approved open-source projects, it is not a plan available to businesses. Open-source
developers may receive free access, but businesses with security and privacy concerns need to subscribe
to a Copilot Business or a similar plan.

Question: 4

A technology consulting firm is considering GitHub Copilot Business to streamline development across
multiple teams. The CTO is particularly interested in features that enhance security, manageability, and
compliance. Which of the following features is exclusive to GitHub Copilot Business and not available in
GitHub Copilot Individual?

A. A customizable prompt engineering feature to optimize code suggestions for enterprise workflows
B. The ability to restrict AI-generated code suggestions based on organization policies.
C. Per-user licensing without requiring organization-wide adoption
D. Support for Copilot Chat in private repositories at no additional cost

Answer: B
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 5

Option A: GitHub Copilot does not currently allow direct prompt customization at an organizational
level. While Copilot Business provides administrative controls, these do not extend to modifying
Copilot’s fundamental prompt behavior.

Option B: GitHub Copilot Business provides administrators with control over how Copilot can be used
within an organization, including the ability to enforce security policies on AI-generated code. Admins
can disable Copilot for certain repositories or configure exclusions to ensure sensitive code does not
influence AI-generated suggestions. Copilot Individual does not provide these administrative controls.

Option C: Both Copilot Individual and Business are per-user licensed, meaning organizations can
purchase subscriptions only for specific developers. This is not unique to Copilot Business.

Option D: Copilot Business does include Copilot Chat, but this is also available in Copilot Individual.
The key differentiator of Copilot Business is its enterprise-grade administration and security controls, not
just chat support.

Question: 5

As a developer working on sensitive projects, you’re concerned about data privacy and how GitHub
Copilot handles the data involved in generating code suggestions. You want to understand how Copilot
protects your data and what happens to the code you write during the suggestion process. Which of the
following statements correctly describe how GitHub Copilot handles data in its pipeline? (Select two)

A. The suggestions generated by GitHub Copilot are always retained for future training of the AI model
B. GitHub Copilot has access to the entire codebase in your private repositories at all times.
C. GitHub Copilot only processes small snippets of code context rather than the entire project.
D. GitHub Copilot stores user credentials to provide personalized code suggestions
E. GitHub Copilot uses differential privacy techniques to prevent the model from remembering specific
data from individual sessions.

Answer: C, E
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Suggestions generated during a session are not stored or used to retrain the AI model. GitHub
Copilot only uses pre-trained models that do not continuously learn from individual user interactions.
Your data is processed temporarily to generate suggestions but is not retained for future training.

Option B: GitHub Copilot does not have access to your entire codebase. It only processes the snippet of
code and relevant context that you are actively working on in the IDE. Copilot does not scan or access
private repositories unless explicitly shared.

Option C: GitHub Copilot operates by analyzing only small snippets of code context that the developer is
working on in the IDE, rather than the entire project. This allows it to provide relevant suggestions based
on the immediate surroundings of the code.

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 6

Option D: GitHub Copilot does not store user credentials or use them to personalize code suggestions. It
generates suggestions purely based on the context of the code being written and the general knowledge
embedded in its AI model.

Option E: GitHub Copilot incorporates privacy-preserving techniques, such as differential privacy, to

ensure that the model does not remember or retain data from individual user sessions. This prevents the
model from learning from or storing sensitive or proprietary code.

Question: 6

You are working on a Node.js project that uses Jest for unit testing. Your task is to write a test for a
function calculateTotal() that takes an array of numbers and returns the sum. You have asked GitHub
Copilot to assist you in generating the unit test. Below is the code generated by Copilot:

1. // calculateTotal.js
2. function calculateTotal(numbers) {
3. return numbers.reduce((acc, num) => acc + num, 0);
4. }
5.
6. module.exports = calculateTotal;
7.
8. // calculateTotal.test.js (Generated by Copilot)
9. const calculateTotal = require('./calculateTotal');
10.
11. test('calculates total sum correctly', () => {
12. expect(calculateTotal([1, 2, 3, 4])).toBe(10);
13. });

Which two of the following actions would best ensure that the generated test properly validates the
calculateTotal() function and follows best testing practices? (Select two)

A. Modify the test to include an empty array as input.

B. Rely on manual testing to check other edge cases like large numbers or floats.
C. Add a test case where the input includes negative numbers and zeros.
D. Trust the generated test as sufficient and do not add more tests.

Answer: A, C
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Including an empty array ensures that edge cases like an empty input are handled properly. In
this case, the expected result for calculateTotal([]) would be 0, and testing this is a good practice for
verifying robustness.

Option B: While manual testing can be helpful, relying on it for comprehensive validation isn't a best

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 7

practice. Automated unit tests should cover as many edge cases as possible, reducing the need for manual
intervention.

Option C: Including negative numbers and zeros is crucial for testing. For example, calculateTotal([-1, 0,
1]) should return 0. Testing a variety of inputs ensures that the function behaves correctly for all valid
cases.

Option D: While Copilot-generated code often provides a good starting point, it's typically not
comprehensive. In this case, the test only validates one scenario. Edge cases, such as empty arrays or
inputs with negative numbers, must also be tested.

Question: 7

You are setting up GitHub Copilot in your IDE for the first time and want to ensure you understand its
features. GitHub Copilot can provide context-aware code suggestions directly in your IDE. Which of the
following statements correctly describe how GitHub Copilot operates and its features in the IDE? (Select
three)

A. GitHub Copilot is available only in Visual Studio Code.

B. GitHub Copilot can suggest whole lines, functions, or even complete classes based on context.
C. GitHub Copilot works offline and does not need internet access.
D. GitHub Copilot offers suggestions based on code from public repositories and open-source projects.
E. GitHub Copilot generates code based on the comments and the existing code in your file.

Answer: B, D, E
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: While GitHub Copilot was initially released for Visual Studio Code, it is now supported in
other IDEs like JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc.) and Visual Studio (not to be confused with
Visual Studio Code). Limiting it to Visual Studio Code would be an outdated assumption.

Option B: One of GitHub Copilot’s strengths is its ability to suggest not just single lines of code but
entire functions, methods, or even classes based on the context of the code written in the file. This is
especially helpful when working on repetitive patterns or when adding boilerplate code.

Option C: GitHub Copilot relies on cloud-based machine learning models to generate its code
suggestions, meaning it requires an active internet connection. Without internet access, the IDE would not
be able to fetch the necessary data from GitHub Copilot’s servers, and thus the feature would be
unavailable.

Option D: GitHub Copilot’s training data includes public code repositories, particularly open-source
projects. However, the suggestions are aggregated and generalized, so Copilot does not directly copy code
but generates new suggestions influenced by the patterns learned from these repositories.

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 8

Option E: GitHub Copilot uses AI to generate context-aware code based on both comments and the
surrounding code. By understanding the context of the file, it provides intelligent suggestions for
completing code snippets, functions, or classes. This is a core feature and a key reason why developers
use Copilot.

Question: 8

You are a team lead in charge of modernizing an old codebase. Your team is using GitHub Copilot to
help generate code faster. You want to explain to your team the potential issues they might face regarding
the age of the code suggestions that Copilot provides. Which of the following best describes the age and
relevance of the code suggestions provided by GitHub Copilot?

A. GitHub Copilot only suggests code from the last 12 months of commits, ensuring that all suggestions
are current and reflect modern best practices.
B. GitHub Copilot automatically excludes any code suggestions that use outdated libraries or
deprecated functions to ensure developers don’t rely on old technologies.
C. GitHub Copilot uses a continuously updated model that ensures all code suggestions are based on the
most recent versions of programming languages and frameworks.
D. GitHub Copilot’s suggestions are based on a model trained on code from public repositories, which
may include code that is several years old and no longer relevant.

Answer: D
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: This is incorrect because Copilot’s training data spans years of publicly available code, not
just the last 12 months. It does not guarantee that suggestions are based on recent commits or practices, so
developers must ensure that the code they use is current and relevant to the tools they are working with.

Option B: This is incorrect because Copilot does not exclude outdated libraries or deprecated functions.
The model generates suggestions based on the patterns it has seen, which can include old or deprecated
code. Developers must manually verify that suggestions align with the latest standards and libraries.

Option C: This is incorrect because Copilot’s model is not continuously updated. The model is trained
periodically, meaning that the code it suggests may not always reflect the most recent updates in
programming languages, frameworks, or libraries. Developers need to be aware that suggestions could be
outdated.

Option D: This is correct because GitHub Copilot’s model is trained on a vast amount of public code,
some of which may be outdated or no longer represent modern best practices. The model is not
continuously updated in real-time and may suggest code that relies on older versions of libraries or
frameworks. Developers must review suggestions critically to ensure they are using up-to-date and secure
code.

Question: 9

You are working on a Python project that involves processing user input and performing several
calculations. You want to ensure that your code is secure and performs efficiently. You've been using
GitHub Copilot to assist with writing unit tests for security vulnerabilities like SQL injection, as well as
performance testing to optimize response times. Which of the following unit test cases created with
GitHub Copilot is most effective at covering both security and performance?

A. A unit test that checks whether an external library function performs faster than a custom-built
function for similar operations.
B. A unit test that measures the execution time of a function using timeit, ensuring it completes in less
than a second for typical inputs.
C. A unit test that uses fuzz testing generated by GitHub Copilot to evaluate input variations, checking
both for proper input sanitization and acceptable performance across various inputs.
D. A unit test that uses assert to check if user input is sanitized by comparing the output of a function
with a predefined SQL-safe output.

Answer: C
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: While performance comparisons are useful, this answer doesn't address security testing or the
relevance of user input sanitization, leaving potential vulnerabilities untested.

Option B: While performance testing is important, this test focuses solely on speed and ignores critical
security aspects like input sanitization or edge cases for SQL injection.

Option C: This approach leverages both security and performance considerations by testing a wide range
of inputs (through fuzzing) and verifying that the code can handle unexpected input types efficiently
while ensuring input sanitization.

Option D: This test only checks if the function outputs a predefined value without considering the
complexity of input variations or performance under different loads. It also does not simulate real SQL
injection attacks.

Question: 10

You are using GitHub Copilot to assist with writing a Python script that parses large XML files and
extracts specific data based on user-provided input. You want to generate a function that minimizes
memory usage, as the XML files can be very large. However, you find that Copilot's initial code
suggestions load the entire file into memory at once. Which of the following prompt adjustments is most
likely to guide Copilot towards a solution that minimizes memory usage?

A. "Write a Python function that parses large XML files and extracts data based on user input."
B. "Write a Python function that reads a large XML file and extracts data without loading the entire file

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 10

into memory. Use an iterative approach."

C. "Generate Python code to parse an XML file and extract specific data efficiently."
D. "Generate Python code that parses XML files and uses minimal memory while extracting data."

Answer: B
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: This prompt is too vague and does not guide Copilot to handle the specific concern of memory
usage. The AI might suggest code that works but loads the entire XML file into memory, which is
inefficient for large files.

Option B: This prompt explicitly mentions avoiding loading the entire file into memory and suggests
using an iterative approach. These two details guide Copilot to choose methods like streaming or using
xml.etree.ElementTree.iterparse, which process the XML file in chunks, minimizing memory usage. This
level of prompt engineering ensures the AI generates code that addresses both functional requirements
and resource constraints.

Option C: While this prompt mentions efficiency, it does not specify the type of efficiency required (e.g.,
time vs. memory). Copilot may optimize for speed rather than memory usage, leading to suboptimal code
for handling large XML files.

Option D: While this prompt mentions minimal memory usage, it lacks the specificity regarding how to
achieve that goal (e.g., an iterative approach). As a result, Copilot may generate a solution that does not
fully optimize for memory, especially in the context of very large files.

Question: 11

You are developing an e-commerce application in JavaScript that interacts with a payment API. You want
GitHub Copilot to generate a function that processes a payment, handles API errors, and logs the
transaction ID if successful. Which of the following prompts is most effectively engineered to guide
GitHub Copilot to generate correct and robust code?

A. "Create JavaScript code that makes API requests."

B. "Write a JavaScript function to process payments using a payment API. Handle API errors and log
transaction ID on success."
C. "Write a JavaScript payment processing function."
D. "Write a JavaScript function to process payments using a payment API."

Answer: B
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: This prompt is too generic. It lacks the necessary details to instruct Copilot to focus on

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 11

payments, error handling, or logging specific details. Copilot could generate any code that interacts with
APIs, which may not fulfill your specific requirement.

Option B: This is the best example of a well-engineered prompt. It includes:

• Context: Working with a payment API.

• Instruction: Processing payments.

• Constraints: Handling API errors and logging the transaction ID on success. These details guide Copilot
to generate robust and complete code that meets the functional and error-handling requirements.

Option C: This is a vague prompt without essential details about error handling or success logging.
GitHub Copilot might generate code that simply processes payments but doesn't account for potential
issues or the need to log the transaction ID.

Option D: This prompt gives a general instruction to process payments but lacks specifics like error
handling and logging the transaction ID. Copilot may generate payment processing code, but it will likely
miss critical features like error management and success logging.

Question: 12

You are working on a small web application with a User model that contains the following method:

1. class User:
2. def __init__(self, username, age):
3. self.username = username
4. self.age = age
5.
6. def is_adult(self):
7. return self.age >= 18

You want to use GitHub Copilot to generate boilerplate integration tests to verify that the is_adult()
method works correctly when integrated with other parts of the web application, such as a view that
restricts certain content to adults. What is the best strategy to generate these integration tests using
GitHub Copilot?

A. Instruct Copilot to generate a test for is_adult() alone and verify its output for users over 18.
B. Ask Copilot to generate unit tests for the is_adult() method, assuming it will be sufficient to verify
the method without integration testing.
C. Instruct Copilot to focus only on testing the function without considering how it interacts with other
system components.
D. Use Copilot to generate an integration test that verifies how the is_adult() method behaves within a
complete workflow, such as attempting to access restricted content based on the user’s age.

Answer: D
Explanation:

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 12

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Testing the is_adult() method in isolation is more suitable for unit testing, not integration
testing. Integration tests should focus on verifying how the method interacts with other parts of the
application, such as views or controllers, rather than testing the function on its own.

Option B: While unit tests are valuable, they do not replace the need for integration tests, which ensure
that the method functions correctly when combined with other parts of the application. Unit testing the
is_adult() method alone will not uncover potential integration issues with views or other components.

Option C: Ignoring how the method interacts with other system components defeats the purpose of
integration testing. Integration tests are meant to validate the behavior of the application as a whole,
including how different components, such as models, views, and controllers, work together.

Option D: The most effective approach is to use Copilot to generate an integration test that verifies how
the is_adult() method works within a complete workflow, such as restricting content based on age. For
example, Copilot could generate a test that simulates a user trying to access adult-only content and
ensures that access is granted or denied correctly based on their age. This type of test covers how the
method interacts with other components in the system.

Question: 13

You are working on a Python project that includes a function calculate_discount(price, discount_rate)
which calculates the final price after applying a discount. You want to use GitHub Copilot to generate
unit tests for this function, ensuring that edge cases like invalid input are also covered. How can you use
GitHub Copilot to generate appropriate tests for your function? (Select two)

A. Provide comments within your code describing potential edge cases like negative prices or high
discount rates, and let GitHub Copilot generate tests based on these comments.
B. Rely entirely on GitHub Copilot to generate tests and assume they cover all edge cases.
C. Use GitHub Copilot to generate only positive test cases (e.g., valid price and discount values), and
write the negative test cases manually.
D. Ask GitHub Copilot to generate tests without including any function or code context.
E. Prompt GitHub Copilot with the function signature and ask it to "generate tests."

Answer: A, E
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Copilot is capable of interpreting comments and context to generate code. If you specify edge
cases in comments, such as handling negative values for price or discount_rate, Copilot is more likely to
include tests for those scenarios in its output. This helps ensure that corner cases are tested adequately,
but the quality of generated tests depends on the clarity of your comments.

Option B: Although GitHub Copilot is a powerful tool for generating tests, it cannot guarantee that all
edge cases and specific business logic are covered. Developers need to review, modify, and supplement

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 13

the generated tests to ensure complete test coverage, especially in cases where unique constraints or
domain-specific logic apply.

Option C: GitHub Copilot can generate both positive and negative test cases. It is capable of suggesting
tests that handle invalid input if given enough context (e.g., comments or a descriptive function name).
Limiting Copilot to only generating positive test cases reduces its utility and misses out on its ability to
handle edge cases efficiently.

Option D: While GitHub Copilot can provide generic test templates, it needs the function signature or
context to generate meaningful, context-specific tests. Without the function or an adequate description
of its purpose, Copilot cannot infer the required test cases for edge scenarios, leading to incomplete or
irrelevant tests.

Option E: GitHub Copilot can automatically generate test cases based on the function signature. It can
infer common use cases, such as typical and edge case inputs, based on the context and function name.
For example, it might suggest test cases for positive numbers, zero, and edge conditions like negative
numbers. However, developers should still review these generated tests to ensure completeness and
accuracy.

Question: 14

You are writing a function isPalindrome() in Python, which takes a string as input and returns True if the
string is a palindrome and False otherwise. You ask GitHub Copilot to generate unit tests for the function
using pytest. Below is the initial function and the test generated by Copilot:

1. # palindrome.py
2. def isPalindrome(s):
3. return s == s[::-1]
4.
5. # test_palindrome.py (Generated by Copilot)
6. from palindrome import isPalindrome
7.
8. def test_is_palindrome():
9. assert isPalindrome('racecar') == True

Which two actions would best improve the robustness of the generated test cases and follow best testing
practices? (Select two)

A. Add test cases that check for case-insensitive palindromes.

B. Add test cases for strings with spaces and punctuation.
C. Modify the function to raise a ValueError for non-string inputs.
D. Ensure the test includes only simple palindromes like 'racecar' and 'madam'.
E. Replace the assert statement with a more verbose error message in case of failure.

Answer: A, B
Explanation:

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 14

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Palindromes are typically case-insensitive, e.g., "Racecar" and "racecar" should both return
True. The current function will return False for "Racecar" unless modified or tested correctly for this case.

Option B: Many palindromes may contain spaces or punctuation, such as "A man, a plan, a canal,
Panama!" The function isPalindrome() needs to handle these edge cases, potentially by sanitizing the
input before checking for palindromes.

Option C: This is not strictly necessary for a palindrome function unless you want it to explicitly check
for input types. If the function is meant to handle strings only, adding input validation is not required for
most use cases.

Option D: Limiting the test cases to simple examples is insufficient for validating the function's
robustness. Tests should include various types of palindromes and edge cases, such as empty strings,
strings with mixed case, or strings containing spaces and punctuation.

Option E: While providing custom error messages can be useful in some cases, assert in pytest already
provides meaningful failure messages. Adding verbose error messages is unnecessary unless there's a
need for more complex validation logic.

Question: 15

You are leading a team of developers on a large project, and your team is considering adopting GitHub
Copilot Chat to assist with daily coding tasks, provide code explanations, and troubleshoot issues faster.
Your team wants to ensure they fully understand the capabilities of GitHub Copilot Chat before
integration. Which of the following describes the most significant feature that GitHub Copilot Chat
provides for developers?

A. Automated task management and ticket assignment based on code complexity and team availability.
B. A virtual assistant that automatically pushes and merges code to the repository based on developer
conversations.
C. Real-time collaboration between multiple developers through an interactive chat window embedded
in the GitHub web interface.
D. Interactive chat with an AI assistant that provides context-aware code suggestions, explanations, and
troubleshooting advice based on the developer’s code.

Answer: D
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: GitHub Copilot Chat does not manage project tasks or assign tickets. Its focus is on assisting
developers with code generation, troubleshooting, and offering code explanations. Task management
features are generally handled by other project management tools like GitHub Projects or Jira.

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 15

Option B: GitHub Copilot Chat does not have the ability to automatically push or merge code to a
repository based solely on a conversation. Code commits and merges are actions that require manual
confirmation and review by developers. Copilot Chat is designed to assist with code writing and
debugging, not repository management.

Option C: GitHub Copilot Chat is an AI assistant for individual developers, not a tool for real-time
collaboration between multiple developers. While Copilot Chat can assist individual developers in writing
and debugging code, it does not function as a collaborative chat tool for team interactions. Tools like
GitHub Issues or pull requests would be used for collaboration.

Option D: GitHub Copilot Chat allows developers to interact with an AI assistant in a chat-like interface,
providing context-aware suggestions, debugging support, and code explanations. This real-time assistance
helps developers understand their code better and troubleshoot problems based on the context of the
surrounding code. It’s an extension of Copilot’s code generation capabilities, integrated into the
development workflow.

Question: 16

You are configuring GitHub Copilot for your team and want to customize how Copilot behaves in
different parts of the codebase. You’ve decided to create a copilot.yaml file to control which files Copilot
suggests code for and to ensure consistent behavior across the team’s code editor environments. Which of
the following is a valid configuration option in the copilot.yaml file for controlling GitHub Copilot’s
behavior?

A. Disabling Copilot suggestions entirely for specific file types (e.g., .json, .xml).
B. Forcing Copilot to train exclusively on the current repository’s codebase.
C. Configuring Copilot to prioritize performance over accuracy in code suggestions.
D. Setting Copilot to automatically complete all TODO comments without user confirmation.

Answer: A
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: The copilot.yaml file allows you to configure which file types or specific files Copilot will
avoid when offering suggestions. This is particularly useful when you want to exclude files that don’t
benefit from code generation, such as configuration files (.json, .xml) or files containing sensitive data.
This provides a flexible way to control Copilot’s behavior based on project-specific needs.

Option B: GitHub Copilot does not train on individual repositories or customize its model based on
your specific codebase. It uses a large, pre-trained AI model that is not tailored to specific projects. This
configuration option is not available in the copilot.yaml file.

Option C: There is no configuration option to alter Copilot’s balance between performance and accuracy.
The suggestions provided are based on the model’s general capabilities, and no such optimization settings
exist in the copilot.yaml file.

Option D: While Copilot can offer suggestions for TODO comments, it does not complete code
automatically without user interaction. The copilot.yaml file does not support an option for automatic
completion without user input, as Copilot requires active prompts and user involvement.

Question: 17

A software engineer notices that GitHub Copilot Chat is generating slow or less relevant code
completions when working on a large JavaScript project. Which of the following actions would most
effectively improve Copilot Chat’s performance and relevance?

A. Increase the timeout settings of Copilot Chat so it has more time to generate better responses.
B. Ensure that the relevant code files are open and provide explicit prompts with detailed context.
C. Reduce the file size of the open project by removing unused files and dependencies.
D. Disable syntax highlighting and auto-complete features in the editor to speed up Copilot’s
processing.

Answer: B
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Copilot Chat does not allow manual timeout configuration. Its performance depends more on
prompt clarity, available context, and Copilot’s AI processing speed rather than artificial delays.

Option B: Copilot Chat performs best when it has access to the right context. Keeping relevant files open
and writing clear, specific prompts (e.g., specifying desired coding style, frameworks, or performance
requirements) improves the accuracy and relevance of suggestions.

Option C: While a cleaner project may improve development workflow, Copilot Chat does not process
the entire file system. It focuses on open files and active context, so reducing project size has little effect
on Copilot’s response time.

Option D: Syntax highlighting and auto-complete do not impact Copilot Chat’s performance. Disabling
them will not improve Copilot’s responsiveness or suggestion quality.

Question: 18

You are developing a Node.js web application with an authentication feature. Security is a critical
concern, and you want to ensure that potential vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting
(XSS) are adequately tested. You plan to use GitHub Copilot to improve your security testing strategy.

1. app.post('/login', async (req, res) => {

2. const { username, password } = req.body;
3. const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '${username}' AND
password = '${password}'`;

4. const user = await db.query(query);

5. if (user) {
6. res.status(200).send('Login successful');
7. } else {
8. res.status(401).send('Invalid credentials');
9. }
10. });

Which approach should you take to leverage GitHub Copilot for improving your security tests?

A. Use GitHub Copilot to suggest refactoring the SQL query into a more efficient one for performance
purposes and assume security will be improved as well.
B. Ask GitHub Copilot to generate functional tests without specifying any particular security risks,
assuming general tests will catch security vulnerabilities.
C. Ask GitHub Copilot to generate tests that only check for correct user authentication (valid username
and password).
D. Ask GitHub Copilot to generate security-focused test cases by writing comments that indicate
potential security issues, like SQL injection and XSS.

Answer: D
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Refactoring the SQL query for performance may improve execution speed, but it does not
automatically address the security risk of SQL injection. Security vulnerabilities like SQL injection
require input sanitization, prepared statements, or other techniques, which are unrelated to performance
optimizations.

Option B: General functional tests will not automatically catch specific security vulnerabilities like SQL
injection or XSS. These types of vulnerabilities require targeted testing. While functional tests are
important, they are not sufficient for ensuring the application is secure against these types of attacks.

Option C: Testing for valid username and password scenarios will ensure correct functionality but does
not cover potential security risks. Functional tests do not inherently detect issues like SQL injection or
XSS, so relying on them alone would leave vulnerabilities unaddressed.

Option D: GitHub Copilot can suggest security-focused test cases based on specific comments. By
writing comments like // Test for SQL injection, // Test for XSS vulnerabilities, or // Test for weak
password input, you can prompt Copilot to generate appropriate test cases that target these security issues.
This method ensures that potential vulnerabilities are directly addressed in the testing process.

Question: 19

A developer is using GitHub Copilot to generate SQL queries. They initially provide the following
prompt:

www.certsland.com
Questions & Answers PDF Page 18

“Write an SQL query to fetch all employees who joined after January 1, 2020.”

Copilot generates the following response:

1. SELECT * FROM employees WHERE join_date > '2020-01-01';

The developer now wants to refine the query to include filtering based on department names while
ensuring the results are ordered by join date in descending order. Which approach best demonstrates the
use of few-shot prompting to refine the Copilot's response?

A. "Write an SQL query to fetch all employees who joined after January 1, 2020, and belong to a
specific department. Order the results by join date in descending order."
B. "Generate an SQL query for employee data based on department and join date."
C. "Here’s an example query for fetching employees from the HR department who joined after
2020-01-01:

1. SELECT *
2. FROM employees
3. WHERE join_date > '2020-01-01' AND department = 'HR'
4. ORDER BY join_date DESC;
Now, write a similar query for any department."

D. "Rewrite the SQL query to include additional filters."

Answer: C
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: This is an improved prompt but still a zero-shot prompt because it does not provide an
example for Copilot to follow. The model will rely entirely on its training to infer the correct structure.

Option B: This is a vague zero-shot prompt. It does not specify how the data should be filtered or
ordered, leading to less precise suggestions.

Option C: This is an example of few-shot prompting because the developer provides a specific example
of how a query should be structured before asking Copilot to generate a similar version for a different
department. The example helps Copilot infer the intended format and structure, improving the accuracy of
the response.

Option D: This prompt is too vague and does not demonstrate few-shot prompting. Without an example,
Copilot may generate unexpected variations rather than following a clear structure.

Question: 20

Questions & Answers PDF Page 19

Your team is working on a REST API, and you have a function that fetches user data from an external
service asynchronously using async/await. You’ve written a basic test to mock the external API and
verify that the function returns the correct user data. However, your team has asked you to include
additional test cases to cover potential edge cases and errors, such as network timeouts or server errors.
GitHub Copilot has suggested several test cases for your asynchronous function. Which two suggestions
are correct for improving error handling in your tests? (Select two)

A. Test case for simulating a network timeout

B. Test case for handling a rejected promise with an error message
C. Test case that mocks the external API to always return the same data
D. Test case for handling a successful API response with valid data
E. Test case for handling invalid JSON data from the API

Answer: A, B
Explanation:

Explanation for each option is given below:

Option A: Network timeouts are common in asynchronous functions that rely on external services.
Testing how your function behaves when the request times out ensures robustness, especially for real-
world scenarios where connectivity may be an issue. GitHub Copilot’s suggestion to simulate this using
jest.setTimeout() or mocking the API is an excellent addition to test coverage.

Option B: This tests how your function handles errors, such as 500 Internal Server Errors from the
external API. Asynchronous functions should be able to gracefully handle rejected promises and provide
meaningful error messages. GitHub Copilot often suggests error-handling tests like these, which are
essential for robust, production-level code.

Option C: Mocking the API to always return the same data doesn't contribute to better error handling.
GitHub Copilot may suggest this as a way to simplify tests, but it doesn't help cover scenarios like
timeouts, errors, or edge cases in asynchronous behavior.

Option D: While this is important, it’s likely already covered in your basic test, and it does not enhance
the test coverage for error scenarios. Testing for success cases doesn’t help improve resilience in handling
edge cases, which is what your team is asking for.

Option E: This could be a valid case, but only if your function parses the JSON data returned by the
external API. If the function simply passes the data through without parsing, testing for invalid JSON
might not be relevant. GitHub Copilot might suggest this, but its relevance depends on how the function
handles the response data.
