DVA-C02 · Question #426
A developer is setting up AWS CodePipeline for a new application. During each build, the developer must generate a test report. Which solution will meet this requirement?
The correct answer is A. Create an AWS CodeBuild build project that runs tests. Configure the buildspec file with the test. AWS CodeBuild natively supports generating test reports via the reports section in a buildspec file, making it the correct tool in CodePipeline for this requirement.

Why each option
AWS CodeBuild natively supports generating test reports via the reports section in a buildspec file, making it the correct tool in CodePipeline for this requirement.
CodeBuild's buildspec.yml supports a reports block where you specify the test framework and results file path. CodeBuild publishes these results to the CodeBuild Test Reports console automatically after the build, with no additional tooling required.
AWS CodeDeploy manages application deployments to compute resources and does not have a built-in test reporting feature; the AppSpec file handles deployment lifecycle hooks, not test result generation.
Running builds on an EC2 instance with SSM Agent requires manual configuration of the build environment and report aggregation, adding significant operational overhead compared to CodeBuild's native reporting.
AWS CodeArtifact is a package repository for storing and sharing software artifacts; it does not provide test report generation or display capabilities.
