{"question_number": 7, "question": "What is a characteristic of Agile software development compared to the Waterfall method?", "correct_answer": "C. In Agile, development iterations last from one to four weeks whereas the Waterfall method does not use iterations.", "explanation": "Agile organizes work into short, time-boxed iterations called sprints (1–4 weeks), at the end of which a working increment of software is delivered. Waterfall is a sequential, phase-gated model with no concept of repeating iterations - each phase happens once. Option A is reversed: Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation (per the Agile Manifesto). Option B is also reversed: Waterfall delivers at the end of a linear process; Agile delivers incrementally. Option D is incorrect - Agile delivers working software each sprint but does not necessarily deploy to production immediately (that is Continuous Deployment, a separate practice).", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
