Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Exam Dumps - Salesforce Developer Questions and Answers

The architect should suggest the following actions to help UC discover the failing unit tests earlier: Train the administrators to make their changes in a special “admin changes” sandbox, and then promote to production, and ensure a metadata backup is committed to version control every day and a diff published to the release team. Training the administrators to use a sandbox can help prevent direct changes to production that can break the code or the unit tests. Ensuring a metadata backup and a diff can help identify any changes that have been made to production and compare them with the source of truth.

Facilitating the design of a prioritization model with the stakeholders is the best way to overcome the problem of having many backlog items and competing stakeholders who cannot agree on priority. A prioritization model is a framework that helps the stakeholders evaluate and rank the backlog items based on various criteria, such as value, urgency, effort, risk, etc. By using a prioritization model, the stakeholders can have a clear and objective way of deciding which items are more important and should be done first. Organizing a sprint planning meeting, taking over prioritization, or allowing the delivery teams to pick the work are not effective solutions, as they do not address the root cause of the problem or involve the stakeholders in the decision-making process.

The best practice is to always fix the bug in the developer environment where the project work was done, and follow the normal deployment and testing process. This ensures that the code is consistent, traceable, and validated across all environments. Fixing the bug in UAT is not ideal, as it can introduce new issues, create conflicts with other changes, and bypass the version control system. Spinning up a new sandbox for a hot fix is not necessary, as it can add complexity and overhead to the deployment process. Treating the issue as a change request and putting it in the backlog is not advisable, as it can delay the resolution and affect the user experience.

 Testers will experience functional changes throughout testing due to not having isolation from development. Using a single developer sandbox for both development and testing is not a good practice, as it does not provide a stable and consistent environment for testing. The developers may make changes to the code or configuration that affect the functionality or behavior of the application, which may cause the testers to encounter unexpected results or errors.

Integrating an agile issue tracker with software testing and continuous integration tools can provide the following benefits:

Developers can see automated test statuses that commit on a specific user story, which can help them identify and fix any errors or failures quickly.

Developers can use the committed code’s build status directly on the user story record, which can help them track the progress and quality of their work.

Refreshing a sandbox during the release preview window to ensure they have the upcoming release is a step that the team at UC should take to prepare for the new Salesforce release, as it allows them to test their application in an environment that matches the production environment after the upgrade. Running regression tests in an upgraded sandbox to detect any issues with the upgrade is also a step that the team at UC should take to prepare for the new Salesforce release, as it helps them to verify that the existing functionality is not affected by the new features or changes introduced by the upgrade. Reviewing the release notes for automatically-enabled features and technical debt is also a step that the team at UC should take to prepare for the new Salesforce release, as it helps them to understand the impact and benefits of the new features or changes, as well as to identify and resolve any technical debt that may cause issues or conflicts with the upgrade. Contacting Salesforce to schedule a time to upgrade the full sandbox is not a step that the team at UC should take to prepare for the new Salesforce release, as it is not possible to request a specific time for the upgrade of the full sandbox, which is determined by Salesforce and depends on the release window and the pod assignment. Upgrading any SOAP integrations to the newest WSDL as early as possible is not a step that the team at UC should take to prepare for the new Salesforce release, as it is not necessary to upgrade the SOAP integrations to the newest WSDL, unless they want to use the new features or fields introduced by the upgrade. The SOAP integrations will continue to work with the previous WSDL versions, as they are backward compatible.

Presenting the feature requests at a Center of Excellence meeting and creating the backlog or priority list in a project management tool are two options that can help to get feedback and prioritize the requests. A Center of Excellence meeting can provide a forum for discussing the business value, feasibility, and impact of the requests with the stakeholders. A project management tool can help to track, organize, and prioritize the requests based on the agreed criteria.

C and D are the best approaches to develop customizations once and make them available in both orgs, as they use packages that can be installed and updated in multiple orgs. A is not a good approach, as it does not allow for versioning and dependency management of the customizations. B is not a good approach, as it does not support deploying metadata components between orgs.

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.

The best deployment strategy for UC to use in this environment is to refresh the developer’s sandbox, develop changes, refresh the common sandbox, deploy to the common sandbox, test changes, as this will ensure that the developer’s sandbox has the latest production data and metadata, and that the common sandbox has the latest production data and metadata as well as the developer’s changes, before testing and deploying to production. Option B is not correct, as refreshing the developer’s sandbox after testing the changes will erase the changes and make them unavailable for deployment to the common sandbox. Option C is not correct, as refreshing the developer’s sandbox after developing the changes will erase the changes and make them unavailable for deployment to the common sandbox. Option D is not correct, as refreshing the common sandbox before developing the changes will make the common sandbox out of sync with the production data and metadata.
