Salesforce Certified Platform Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect Sample Questions:
Question #1

Which two sandbox types would be appropriate to use as the hotfix environment? Choose 2 answers
A. Developer Pro sandbox
B. Partial Copy sandbox
C. Full sandbox
D. Developer sandbox
Question #2
Universal Containers (UC) has decided to improve the quality of work by the development teams. As part of the effort, UC has acquired some code review software Licenses to help the developers with code quality.
Which are two recommended practices to follow when conducting secure code reviews? Choose 2 answers
A. Conduct a review that combines human efforts and automatic checks by the tool to detect all flaws.
B. Use the code review software as the tool to flag which developer has committed the errors, so the developer can improve.
C. Generate a code review checklist to ensure consistency between reviews and different reviewers.
D. Focus on the aggregated reviews to save time and effort, to remove the need to continuously monitor each meaningful change.
Question #3
Universal Containers (UC) has multi-cloud architecture in a single org. The Sales Cloud dev team is working in a Dev Pro sandbox (DevPro1) of delivering a release in three months. The business requirements from Service Cloud warrant a quicker release in four weeks, but need part of the Sales Cloud work that is completed in DevPro1. The decision of using a separate Dev Pro sandbox (DevPro2) is still pending. The DevPro1 was upgraded to preview for next Salesforce major release two weeks ago.
What should an Architect recommend?
A. DevPro1 cannot be cloned because it is on a different version from Production. Just create new DevPro2, and migrate metadata from DevPro1.
B. Push back on the requirements because adding another work stream will bring some risks with it.
C. Ask the second work stream team to work on the same DevPro1 sandbox.
D. Clone the DevPro1 sandbox and name it DevPro2 for the second work stream to work on the Service Cloud requirements.
Question #4

What two items should the architect recommend to reduce defects? Choose 2 answers
A. The acceptance criteria should have more details.
B. The code coverage should be increased to 95%. The test analyst who creates the test plan must also create the test classes.
C. The test script should be used to define the test classes.
Question #5
A team of developers at Universal Containers has developed Apex Triggers and Apex Classes in a sandbox.
The team has also written test classes to unit test these triggers and classes. When executed in the sandbox, all the test methods pass and all the classes meet the minimum code coverage requirement. But when they tried deploying these components to production, a few of these test methods failed.
What should an architect recommend?
A. Create test data in production before deploying the test classes
B. Do not use SeeAllData and generate data in the test methods.
C. Set SeeAllData to True to use the data in production.
D. Explicitly set SeeAllData to True and generate data in test methods.
