Azure DevOps Engineer practice exams

No complete practice exam yet. A form is 40 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Where Azure DevOps Engineer fits

An honest study plan

  1. 1. Read the official objectives first

    Download the official objectives from Microsoft Azure and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.

  2. 2. Weight your study toward Design and implement build and release pipelines and Design and implement processes and communications

    Together the top two domains are 67% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.

  3. 3. Drill weak domains, then sit a numbered practice exam

    Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then sit a full-length form under exam conditions: 40 questions in 120 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions

What dominates AZ-400?

Pipelines, overwhelmingly: the build and release domain is over half the exam. YAML pipeline structure, environments and approvals, deployment strategies, agents, and artifact and package flows through Azure Artifacts and GitHub.

Azure DevOps or GitHub for the exam?

Both. Microsoft examines the concepts across Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions, branch policies in both products, and GitHub Advanced Security alongside Defender for Cloud. Prep that ignores either product leaves marks behind.

Note on domain weightings

Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges. The figures here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current AZ-400 study guide.

Azure DevOps Engineer is not for sale yet. A certification goes on sale when it has a complete practice exam behind it, and this one does not, so there is nothing here worth charging for. Everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
