Selected Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Salesforce Developer Questions Answers

The only condition that would make continuous integration unsuitable for UC is if their Salesforce instance has only standard functionality, as this would mean that there is no need for code deployment or version control. Option A is not a valid reason, as test scripts can be generated and executed as part of the continuous integration process. Option B is not a valid reason, as a full sandbox is not a requirement for continuous integration, and other types of sandboxes can be used instead. Option D is not a valid reason, as there are free or low-cost software tools available for continuous integration, such as Jenkins, Git, and Ant

 An application with many systems and inter-dependencies between components is a project situation that favors a waterfall methodology, as it requires a high level of planning and design upfront to ensure the integration and compatibility of the components. An application with regulatory compliance requirements to be validated by outside agencies is also a project situation that favors a waterfall methodology, as it requires a clear and detailed documentation of the requirements and specifications, as well as a formal and rigorous testing and validation process. An application in post-production, with incremental changes made by a small team is a project situation that favors an agile methodology, as it allows for faster and more frequent delivery of changes, as well as more flexibility and collaboration. An in-house application with a fixed team size, but an open timeline and flexible requirements is also a project situation that favors an agile methodology, as it allows for more creativity and experimentation, as well as more feedback and adaptation.

A workflow and a trigger are considered minor changes that do not require alignment with a Salesforce major or patch release. However, they still need proper testing, training, and change management before being deployed to production. Therefore, the architect should plan this as a minor release with training and change management.

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.
