Which statement best describe the benefits of asset dependency tracking?
A.
Tracking the asset dependencies allows you to performiImpact analysis when changes need to
occur.
B.
It is a governance mechanism to control and streamline changes to the assets.
C.
Dependency tracking improves the quality of code by ensuring 100% code coverage.
D.
Dependency tracking improves the performance by collocating related assets.
Explanation:
As the number of assets grow rapidly, the interdependencies become hard to track if
not managed properly. Dependency tracking is beneficial as the number of assets
increases, the relationships become more complex, and the need to revise or retire
assets arises. Tracking the dependencies allows us to perform impact analysis when
changes need to occur. This goes both ways – one may need to understand thedependencies an asset has, if the asset needs to be changed, moved, or virtualized; or
one may need to understand what assets depend on a particular resource, if that
resource needs to be modified, retired, or moved.
