Salesforce-Platform-Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Practice Test Questions

Explanation:

The best practices to support UC’s new package development strategy are to test developed packages in test environments before installing to production, and to consult the metadata coverage report to identify features supported by packages. Testing packages in test environments can help to ensure the quality and functionality of the packages, as well as to identify and resolve any issues or dependencies before deploying to production. Consulting the metadata coverage report can help to determine which features can be included in packages, and which ones need to be deployed using other methods. Version control still needs to be used, as packages do not manage all the code and configuration, but only the components that are part of the package. Moving everything in the existing codebase to a single monolithic package is not a good practice, as it reduces the modularity, maintainability, and reusability of the code. It is better to create smaller packages that are focused on specific features or functionalities.

Explanation:

The data model becomes more complex as the scope in the org increases, and the declarative sharing and visibility capabilities may not be sufficient to ensure correct visibility of objects and records for multiple LOBs. Apex design and multiple currencies are not specific challenges for a single-org strategy.

Explanation:

The partner can use Developer Edition or Partner Developer Edition for development of the managed package. These environments allow the creation of a namespace and the packaging of components into a managed package. Developer sandbox and Developer Pro sandbox do not support these features and are not suitable for developing a managed package.

Explanation:

Implementing a pull request and secure code review will contribute to an improvement of code security by ensuring that the code is checked and approved by another developer before merging to the main branch. Integrating a static code security analysis tool in the CI/CD process will contribute to an improvement of code security by automatically scanning the code for vulnerabilities and enforcing security standards. Hiring a company specialized in secure code review or using two developers to review and fix current code vulnerabilities are not actions that will improve code security, but rather remediate existing security issues.

Explanation:

The creation and execution of Release Management processes are the responsibility of the Dev/Build Team and the Center of Excellence. The Dev/Build Team is in charge of developing, testing, and deploying the changes to the system, while the Center of Excellence is in charge of defining and managing the best practices, standards, and governance for the system. The Steering Committee is a group of senior stakeholders that provides strategic direction and oversight for the project, but does not create or execute the Release Management processes. The End Users are the people who use the system, but do not create or execute the Release Management processes.

Explanation:

Testing load considering 50% more call volume is a reasonable test load consideration, as it can simulate the expected future growth and ensure that the application can handle the increased demand without compromising the performance or functionality.

Explanation:

To address the bug in production, the architect should recommend the following approaches: Investigate potential data impacts, fix the bug in a hotfix branch, and seek stakeholder approval for the hotfix. Investigating the data impacts can help assess the severity and scope of the bug, and determine the best course of action to mitigate any data loss or corruption. Fixing the bug in a hotfix branch can help isolate the change and avoid introducing any other changes from the current sprint. Seeking stakeholder approval for the hotfix can help ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements and governance policies.

Explanation:

The product team should review the Checkmarx errors and determine if they need to fix them or not. If the errors are false positives, meaning that they do not indicate a real security issue, the product team should mark them as such and attach an explanation, then submit the security review. This will help the Salesforce security review team to understand the rationale behind the code and avoid unnecessary rejections. The product team should not leave the errors to the Salesforce security review team, as they may reject the request if they find any potential security issue. The product team should not leave a partner support case, as this is not the proper channel for resolving code issues. The product team should not fix all the errors before submitting the security review, as some of them may not be relevant or critical, and fixing them may introduce new bugs or delays.

Explanation:

Refreshing all non-preview sandboxes during the release preview window is the best way to handle the situation of having a mix of preview and non-preview instances for the release of a major project. A release preview window is a period of time before a Salesforce seasonal release, where the customers can test their applications and integrations in a sandbox that has the same version as the upcoming release. By refreshing all non-preview sandboxes during this window, the architect can ensure that all the sandboxes are aligned with the same version and avoid any conflicts or errors during the deployment. Refreshing the sandboxes when the release management team has time, mixing instance types, or contacting support to rollback the release are not good practices, as they can cause inconsistency, confusion, or disruption in the release process.

Explanation:

The fastest approach to spin off a sandbox with up to 10,000 records in each object for testing the integration performance is to spin off a partial copy sandbox using a sandbox template with all the objects required for testing the integration. A partial copy sandbox can copy up to 10,000 records per object using a sandbox template that specifies the objects and fields to copy. A partial copy sandbox can also copy the metadata and the configuration settings from the production org. A developer pro sandbox, a development sandbox, or a full copy sandbox may not be able to copy enough data for testing the integration performance, as they have lower data storage limits. A developer pro sandbox and a development sandbox can only copy 1 GB of data, while a full copy sandbox can only copy 5 GB of data. A full copy sandbox may also take longer to spin-off, as it copies all the data and metadata from the production org.
