Universal Containers (UC) has three types of releases in their release management strategy: daily, minor (monthly), and major (quarterly). UC is releasing a new Service Cloud implementation to a large support center, which will require lengthy training and change management.

Which two statements are true regarding running specific tests during deployments? Choose 2 answers A. To run a subset of tests, set the Run Specified Tests test level on the DeployOptions objects and pass it as an argument to deploy() call. B. run a subset of tests ,set the RunLocalTests test level on the DeployOptions object and pass it as anargument to deploy() call. C. Specify both test classes and individual test methods that are required to be executed as both are supported in DeployOptions. D. Specifying the test method is supported in DeployOptions, therefore specify only the test classes that are required to be executed A developer with Universal Containers recently created a flow in the developer sandbox.

Now the developer is planning to use a change set to migrate the flow to the QA sandbox. What two statements should be considered when migrating the flow with change sets? Choose 2 answers A.

Universal Containers is about to begin Development work on a new project in their Salesforce org that will take many months to complete. UC is concerned about how critical bugs will be addressed for existing live functionality. What is the recommended release management strategy to address this concern? A. Utilize a dedicated Hotflix sandbox to address critical bugs and release to production. B. Address critical bugs in the development sandboxes and push those changes to production separately. C. Include fixes for critical bugs on the ongoing devl sandboxes so that they will be released with the other code. D. Keep teams separate until the end of the project and create a Full Copy Sandbox to merge their work time. Universal Containers (UC) is implementing Salesforce for the first time. Their legacy CRM system is an on premise home-grown application written in Java. UC plans to implement a continuous integration process that mirrors their current standard. Under what conditions should an Architect recommend against continuous integration? A. Test scripts will be generated as part of the testing phase B. There isn't a full sandbox available to leverage C. The Salesforce instance has only standard functionality D. The client does not have budget for additional software Universal Containers are concerned that after each release, reports and dashboards seem to roll back to previous versions. Executives spend many hours crafting these dashboards to perfectly meet their needs, and are now questioning the Salesforce platform's ability to save things, even data records. What can the Salesforce architect advise to stop the rollbacks from happening? A. Ensure report metadata is exported daily and that it is merged into the developer branches before the next release. B. Use a third-party data warehouse. C. Remove the executive's ability to change reports, and only allow developers to do that. D. Back up all the reports just before the release, then reimport them after the release, Metadata API supports deploy () and retrieve () calls for file-based deployment. Which two scenarios are the primary use cases for writing code to call retrieve () and deploy () methods directly? Choose 2 answers A. Development of a custom application in a sandbox organization. After completing development and testing, the application is then deployed Into a production organization using Metadata API. B. Development of a custom application in a scratch org. After completing development and testing, the application is then deployed into an upper sandbox using Salesforce CLI (SFDX) C. Team development of an application in a Developer Edition organization. After completing development and testing, the application is Distributed via Lightning Platform AppExchange. D. Development of a customization in a sandbox organization. The deployment team then utilize the Ant Migration Tool to deploy the customization to an upper sandbox for testing. Universal Containers has developed teams working on multiple projects. They are exploring a source control tool to track and manage their code/config. What two benefits does a source control tool provide? Choose 2 ans A. Provide the ability for distributed teams to work in isolation. B. Provides automated code/configuration deployments. C. Provides the ability to automatically identify issues in code/configuration.

Which are the two strengths of using an agile development methodology? Choose 2 A. Careful documentation is done at each step of the process so a target body of knowledge is available for inspection. B. The project requirements in later phases are expected and accommodated by the process, by design. C. All elements of the build are fully understood before work begins, reducing risk of unpleasant surprises. D. There are many small releases of functional code, allowing stakeholders to see and touch the work in progress. What are two limitations an architect should consider when designing a strategy for managing technical reference data, with multiple related objects? Choose 2 answers A. Apex CPU limits B.

Consistent communication to a pre -defined list of stakeholders B. Communication to stakeholders on a "need -to -know" basis C. Requesting feedback for outstanding architectural questions D. Reporting project status, timelines, and impacts Universal Containers (UC) has recently acquired other companies that have their own Salesforce orgs. These companies have been merged as new UC business units. The CEO has requested an architect to review the org strategy, taking into consideration two main factors: The CEO wants business process standardization among all business units. Business process integration is not required as the different business units have different customers and expertise. Which org strategy should the architect recommend in this scenario, and why? A. Single-org strategy, as costs increase as the number of orgs go up. B. Multi-org strategy, as it is uncommon for the diversified business units to get used to working in the same space as the other business units. C. A Multi-org strategy, as they could deploy a common managed package into the orgs of the different business units. D. Single-org strategy, as the high level of business process standardization will be easier to implement in a single org. Universal Containers (UC) has multiple teams with major projects working concurrently in their own developer sandboxes. After deploying to production, a bug is discovered. Due to tight timelines, the development team has suggested correcting the bug in the user acceptance testing (UAT) environment, which is a full copy sandbox. What should the architect recommend? A. Since the issue was found in production, it should be treated as a change request and go into the backlog as an enhancement. B. UC should spin up a new sandbox to use as a hot fix environment. Once the bug is corrected, the change should be applied to production and downstream environments. C. Correcting the bug in UAT is ideal. Since UAT is a full copy, it will be the fastest location to fix and test the resolution. D. The fix should be made in the developer environment where the project work was done. Once the fix has been made, it should go through a full deployment/testing process and adhere to the normal project cadence. Universal Containers (UC) had added a Service team to the Salesforce Platform. The Service team would like to have a few dozen of the service centers entered into the system as technical reference data. The service centers are made searchable in many different web forms and rather independent from all other business entities. In the past, they had to manually add any new service centers in each sandbox in the code migration path, they would like to eliminate the manual work if it is possible. What is an optimal way to accomplish this requirement?
