CTA Exam Dumps : ServiceNowCertified Technical Architect (CTA)

Security should be established before configuring interfaces or business logic in the ServiceNow application build process. This is known as "security by design."

Here's why:

Prevent Security Gaps: Building security into the application from the start helps prevent vulnerabilities and security gaps that can be exploited later.

Reduce Rework: Addressing security early avoids costly rework later if security issues are discovered after development is complete.

Enforce Best Practices: Starting with security ensures that security best practices are followed throughout the development process.

Why not the other options?

A. Only when issues are encountered during operations: This is a reactive approach that can lead to significant security risks.

B. After configuring all the application workspaces: Security should be integrated throughout the application, not just in specific workspaces.

C. After configuring all required integrations: Security should be considered before and during integration to ensure secure data exchange.

The primary factor in determining the number of MID Servers needed is the number of targets and interaction frequency.

Targets: The number of devices, applications, or external systems that ServiceNow needs to interact with (e.g., for discovery, orchestration, integrations).

Interaction Frequency: How often ServiceNow needs to communicate with these targets (e.g., continuous monitoring, scheduled data imports).

Why not the other options?

A. The number of network routers in use: While network infrastructure is important, it's not the primary factor for MID Server sizing.

C. The number of concurrent users on the instance: User activity impacts application server load, not directly the number of MID Servers needed.

D. The geographical spread of the organization: Geographic spread can influence MID Server placement, but the primary factor is the number of targets and interaction frequency.

Effective testing provides several key benefits:

B. Conforms to specifications as defined in stories: Testing ensures that the developed software meets the requirements and acceptance criteria outlined in user stories or other requirement documents.

D. Validates new functionality without introducing regressions: Testing verifies that new features or changes work as expected and do not negatively impact existing functionality (regressions).  

E. Identifies defects early in the development process: The earlier defects are found, the cheaper and easier they are to fix. Testing helps identify issues early in the development lifecycle.  

Why not the other options?

A. Ensures compliance with industry standards: While testing can help with compliance, it's not the primary goal. Compliance often involves specific audits and assessments.

C. Enhances overall system performance: Performance testing is a specific type of testing that focuses on system performance, but it's not a general benefit of all testing.
