CV0-004 Practice Question: Which THREE are common tasks in a CI/CD pipeline?…
Which THREE are common tasks in a CI/CD pipeline? (Select THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between manual, human-in-the-loop activities (like code review or handwritten notes) and fully automated, scripted steps that are essential to a CI/CD pipeline, leading candidates to mistakenly include manual tasks as pipeline tasks.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Source code checkout from version control
Source code checkout from version control is a fundamental first step in any CI/CD pipeline. The pipeline agent must retrieve the latest code from a repository (e.g., Git) to build, test, and deploy the application. Without this checkout, subsequent automated steps have no codebase to work with.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manual code review by a senior developer
Why it's wrong here
Manual review is not automated and not part of the pipeline itself.
- ✗
Handwritten notes for deployment steps
Why it's wrong here
Handwritten notes are not automated and not a pipeline task.
- ✓
Source code checkout from version control
Why this is correct
CI starts with fetching code from a repository.
- ✓
Deployment to a staging or production environment
Why this is correct
Deployment is the final step in a CD pipeline.
- ✓
Automated testing (unit, integration, etc.)
Why this is correct
Automated tests ensure code quality before deployment.
