Universal Container has multiple departments who use Salesforce and request changes: Sales, Service, Back Office, Marketing, etc. Each of these departments makes independent purchase decisions for AppExchange apps, field requests, and page layouts, resulting in low adoption and under -use of standard Salesforce capabilities. What mechanism should a Technical Architect recommend to increase use of standard Salesforce functionality?

A. Change Control Board

B. Requirements Traceability Matrix

C. Center of Excellence

D. Project Management Office

C.   Center of Excellence

Explanation
: A Center of Excellence is a mechanism that can help to increase the use of standard Salesforce functionality, by defining and managing best practices, standards, and governance across the organization. A Center of Excellence can also facilitate cross functional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and alignment of Salesforce initiatives with business goals. A Change Control Board is a group of stakeholders that reviews and approves changes to the system, but does not necessarily promote the use of standard Salesforce functionality. A Requirements Traceability Matrix is a document that links requirements to their sources and test cases, but does not necessarily increase the use of standard Salesforce functionality. A Project Management Office is a group that oversees the execution of projects, but does not necessarily increase the use of standard Salesforce functionality.

Universal Containers (UC) wants to shorten their deployment time to production by controlling which tests to run in production. UC's Architect has suggested that they run only subsets of tests. 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 todeploy () call.

B. run a subset of tests,setthe RunLocalTests test level on the DeployOptions object and pass it as an argument 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 testmethod is supported in DeployOptions, therefore specify only the test classes that are required to be executed.

A.   To run a subset of tests, set the Run Specified Tests test level on the DeployOptions objects and pass it as an argument todeploy () call.
D.   Specifying the testmethod is supported in DeployOptions, therefore specify only the test classes that are required to be executed.

Explanation: To run a subset of tests, set the Run Specified Tests test level on the DeployOptions object and pass it as an argument to the deploy() call and specify only the test classes that are required to be executed, as specifying the test method is not supported in DeployOptions. These statements are true regarding running specific tests during deployments. The Run Specified Tests test level allows the developer to choose which tests to run in production, while specifying the test method is not a valid option for the DeployOptions object.

There are many types of quality assurance techniques that can help minimize defects in software projects. Which two techniques should an architect recommend, for Universal Containers to incorporate into its overall CI/CD pipeline? Choose 2 answers

A. Business verification testing

B. Stress testing

C. Automated browser testing

D. Static code quality analysis

C.   Automated browser testing
D.   Static code quality analysis

Explanation:

Automated browser testing and static code quality analysis are two quality assurance techniques that can help minimize defects in software projects, and that an architect should recommend for Universal Containers to incorporate into its overall CI/CD pipeline. Automated browser testing is a technique that involves using tools or frameworks to simulate user interactions with the web application across different browsers and devices, and to verify the functionality and performance of the application. Static code quality analysis is a technique that involves using tools or frameworks to scan the code and detect any violations of the predefined coding rules and best practices, such as syntax errors, security issues, code smells, etc. Business verification testing and stress testing are also quality assurance techniques, but they are not as suitable or relevant for the CI/CD pipeline, as they are more focused on validating the business requirements and the system capacity.

Universal Containers (UC) is developing a custom Force.com application. The following tools are used for development, the Force.com IDE for developing apps. Git as a source control system and a Git repository, and the Force.com Migration Tool for updating sandboxes from source control. UC's current branching strategy calls for two main branches: 1) Master 2) Develop Three supporting branches: 1) Feature 2) Release 3) Hotflix Consider that the branching strategy is in parallel as follows Feature |Develop |Release |Hotfix |Master What is the recommended practice strategy that Developers should adopt for Development?

A. Developers work off of the Feature branch, which is pulled from the Master branch and the Feature branch is then merged with the Develop branch.

B. Developers work off of the Feature branch, which is pulled from the Develop branch, and the Feature branch is then merged with the Develop branch.

C. Developers work off of the Feature branch, which is pulled from the Release branch, and the Feature branch is then merged with the Develop branch.

D. Developers work off of the Feature branch, which is pulled from the Develop branch, and the Feature branch is then merged with the Hotfix branch.

B.   Developers work off of the Feature branch, which is pulled from the Develop branch, and the Feature branch is then merged with the Develop branch.

Explanation: This is the correct answer because developers should work on feature branches that are derived from the develop branch, which represents the latest stable version of the code. The feature branches should then be merged back into the develop branch after they are completed and tested. This way, the develop branch always contains the most updated code that is ready for release.

Universal Containers (UC) is using Salesforce for their sales organization. The sales users have created several dashboards using multiple running users. The admins have also added a few workflow rues that send email notifications to some sales users. What should an Architect consider while planning the deployment of such components? Choose 2 answers

A. If the username in the source org doesn't exist in the target org, the deployment will continue and Salesforce will automatically create the username in the target org.

B. User fields are ignored during metadata deployments and all such users need to be manually created in the target org before starting the deployment.

C. If the username in the source org doesn't exist in the target org, the deployment will stop until the usernames are resolved or removed.

D. User Fields are preserved during metadata deployments and Salesforce attempts to locate a matching user in the target org during deployment.

C.   If the username in the source org doesn't exist in the target org, the deployment will stop until the usernames are resolved or removed.
D.   User Fields are preserved during metadata deployments and Salesforce attempts to locate a matching user in the target org during deployment.

Explanation:
User fields are preserved during metadata deployments and Salesforce attempts to locate a matching user in the target org during deployment. If the username in the source org doesn’t exist in the target org, the deployment will stop until the usernames are resolved or removed.
