Salesforce Development Lifecycle & Deployment Designer Exam - Q & A When is it appropriate to develop directly in production? When a single administrator is building super simple things like a new das... hboard, reports, custom field, or email template. If you are simultaneously developing projects in production and sandbox organizations, what should you do to avoid replacing new changes in production when you deploy from your change set? You should replicate setup changes occurring in production in the sandbox What is the typical lifecycle when developing with a sandbox? 1) Create a development environment 2) Develop using Salesforce tools 3) Test within dev environment 4) Replicate production changes in the development environment 5) Deploy to production What are typical development projects where development is undertaken with a sandbox? 1) New custom objects, tabs, and applications 2) Integrations with other systems 3) Apps involving Apex, Visualforce, workflow, or new validation rules T/F Change sets can't be used to rename or delete components True What is the typical development lifecycle when you opt to isolate testing and development in more than on environment? 1) Create a dev environment 2) Develop 3) Create testing environment 4) Migration changes from development environment to testing environment 5) Test 6) Replicate production changes in other environments 7) Deploy what you've developed to production If you have isolated development and testing in two different environments and you find some changes need to take place before deploying to production, where should you make the changes? You might want to make them in the testing environment because it's faster, but the changes should be replicated in the development environment. What is the typical development lifecycle when developing multiple projects with integration, testing, and staging? 1) Create development environment 2) Develop 3) Create testing environment, including UAT and Integration 4) Migrate changes from dev environment to integration environment 5) Test 6) Migrate changes from integration environment to UAT environment 7) Perform UAT 8) Migrate changes from UAT environment to staging 9) Replicate production changes in staging environment 10) Schedule releases Which projects are typically developed with separate environments for testing, integration, and staging? 1) Concurrent development of new applications in multiple environments 2) Projects that require team development What is copied in a full sandbox? 1) Standard and custom object records 2) Documents 3) Attachments How frequently can you refresh a Full Sandbox? Every 29 days Which sandbox should you use for development? 1) Developer 2) Developer Pro (Note: Full or partial may give inappropriate data access to developers) Which sandbox should you use for unit test and apex tests? 1) Developer 2) Developer Pro Which sandbox should you use for feature tests and regression tests? Partial Copy Which sandbox should you use when testing external integrations? Full sandbox Which sandbox should be used for staging and UAT? Full sandbox Which sandbox should be used for production debugging? Full sandbox What is the Force.com IDE? An integrated dev environment for developing apps using Apex, Visualforce, and metadata components. Includes tools to accelerate development, like wizards, source code editors, test execution tools, deployment aids, integrated help, and interactive debugger. What can you do with the Metadata API? 1) Work with setup config as metadata files 2) Copy, paste, merge, and manipulate metadata files 3) Create your own tools for managing org metadata 4) Migrate config changes between orgs What is the Force.com Migration tool? A Java/Ant-based command-line utility for moving metadata between a local directory and a Salesforce org What does the Force.com Migration tool enable you to do that can't done with change sets? You can migrate metadata between unrelated orgs In which scenarios is the Force.com Migration Tool especially useful? 1) Dev projects where you need to populate a test environment with large amounts of setup changes 2) Deployments where you need to change the contents of files between orgs (ex: the running user for a dashboard in one org is different than the running user in the other org) 3) Multi-stage release processes (scripted retrieval and deployment of components is much more efficient) 4) Repetitive deployment using the same parameters What steps are involved when deploying to production? 1) Announce a maintenance window 2) Stop all changes in production 3) Create a staging environment 4) Migrate changes to staging environment 5) Change environmental dependencies and services from testings settings to production values 6) Lock users out of the app 7) Test deploy using the Metadata API 8) Deploy to production 9) Unlock the production org On which API, is the Force.com Migration tool and Force.com IDE built? Metadata API What features are available in the Force.com IDE? 1) Lightning Components 2) Apex Code 3) Visualforce 4) Application Components 5) Development Lifecycle 6) Online Project Mode 7) Schema Explorer 8) Code Share What does a Continuous Integration tool support? A constant flow of development changes and unit testing are done to detect conflicts and errors within the development cycle. Also, allows you to perform a baseline of QA without reliance on manual processes. What are the three key elements for governance? 1) Center of Excellence: Ensure changes support business goals and follow IT best practices 2) Release Management 3) Design Standards For which areas should you have design standards? 1) Coding 2) Testing 3) Integration 4) Handling LDV 5) Documentation What is load testing? Testing with different loads under expected conditions. What is performance testing? Measuring under a particular workload for both load and stress testing When should you conduct performance testing? 1) Very high LDVs 2) Highly customized code What do you need to do prior to executing a performance test? Submit a test plan to SFDC support What is an easy way to generate representative test data? Use Forefactory a simple Ruby on Rails app What are the 9 steps for effective change management? 1) Get a Strategy 2) Engage an executive sponsor 3) Collect input from end-users 4) Define scope and impact 5) Prioritize 6) Configure and test 7) Communicate train 8) Deploy 9) Follow Up and Support Up to how many files can be added to a single change set? 10,000 T/F You can rename components using change sets. False T/F You can delete components using change sets. False T/F You can change a field type using change sets. True How much data can a developer pro sandbox store? 1 GB (about 500,000 records) How much data can a partial sandbox store? 5 GB (about 2.5M records) How frequently can you refresh a partial sandbox? Every 5 days Which sandbox(es) should be used for development? 1) Developer 2) Developer Pro 3) Partial Which sandbox(es) should be used for QA? [Show More]
