SALESFORCE-PD1 Practice Test 17 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A developer needs to ensure that a validation rule on the Opportunity object fires only when the Stage is 'Closed Won' and the Amount is less than 1000. Which formula should be used in the validation rule's error condition?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

AND(ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won"), Amount < 1000). Validation rules fire when their formula evaluates to true. The requirement specifies two conditions that must both be met: the stage must be 'Closed Won' and the amount must be less than 1000. The AND function with ISPICKVAL for the picklist and a numeric comparison for the amount accurately expresses this logic, ensuring the rule only triggers in the intended scenario.

Answer

AND(StageName = "Closed Won", Amount < 1000)

Answer

OR(ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won"), Amount < 1000)

Answer

IF(ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Closed Won"), Amount < 1000, false)

Question 2

A developer has written a Batch Apex class to process millions of records. During execution, some transactions fail due to temporary external web service timeouts. What is the standard behavior of Batch Apex when an unhandled exception occurs in a batch execution?

Accepted Answer

The specific batch scope fails, but the job continues processing subsequent scopes.. By default, if an unhandled exception occurs in the execute method of a batch class, that specific batch of records fails, and the batch job continues processing the remaining batches, logging the failure.

Answer

The entire job pauses indefinitely until an administrator manually resumes it via Setup.

Answer

The batch framework automatically retries the failed scope up to five times before moving on.

Answer

The entire batch job immediately aborts and rolls back all previously processed scopes.

Question 3

A developer needs to schedule a class to run nightly at midnight to clean up stale audit records. Which interface must the class implement?

Accepted Answer

System.Schedulable. To use Schedulable Apex, the class must implement the Schedulable interface, which contains the execute(SchedulableContext SC) method.

Answer

Database.AllowsCallouts

Answer

Queueable

Answer

Database.Batchable<SObject>

Question 4

An Apex trigger invokes a helper method that performs a DML operation, but the developer wants to establish a rollback point so that prior changes can be reverted if a subsequent error occurs. Which feature should be used?

Accepted Answer

Database.Savepoint sp = Database.setSavepoint();. Database.setSavepoint() creates a savepoint, and Database.rollback() rolls back changes to that savepoint.

Answer

Approval.lock()

Answer

System.createCheckpoint()

Answer

Database.beginTransaction()

Question 5

Which method is used to get the number of elements in an Apex List?

Accepted Answer

size(). The size() method returns the number of elements in a List, Set, or Map in Apex.

Answer

getNumElements()

Answer

length()

Answer

count()

Question 6

In the order of execution, when are custom validation rules evaluated relative to Before Triggers?

Accepted Answer

After Before Triggers. Custom validation rules are evaluated after Before Triggers complete.

Answer

After After Triggers

Answer

Before Before Triggers

Answer

Concurrently with After Triggers

Question 7

Which THREE tools or contexts can be used to execute Anonymous Apex code? Choose 3 options.

Accepted Answer

Salesforce CLI (sf apex run). Salesforce CLI (option A) can execute Anonymous Apex via the `sf apex run` command (or the older `sfdx force:apex:execute`), which sends the Apex source to the Tooling API's executeAnonymous endpoint and returns the debug log and compile/run results. The Developer Console (option C) includes an Execute Anonymous window (Debug > Open Execute Anonymous Window) that compiles and runs arbitrary Apex in the current org and shows the resulting log. Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code (option D) provide an "SFDX: Execute Anonymous Apex with Editor Contents" command that runs the active Apex file against an authorized org through the same executeAnonymous mechanism. The Standard Page Layout Editor (option B) only arranges fields, buttons, and related lists on record pages and cannot run code, and Lightning App Builder (option E) is a declarative drag-and-drop tool for composing Lightning pages and components, not for executing Apex.

Answer

Standard Page Layout Editor

Answer

Lightning App Builder

Question 8

Which TWO conditions must be met for an Apex test method to successfully execute and contribute to code coverage? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The test method must be declared as static.. Option D is correct because Apex test methods must be declared with the static modifier; instance methods are not recognized as test methods and will not be executed by the test framework or counted toward code coverage. Option E is correct because the method must be annotated with @isTest (or be inside a class annotated with @isTest) so the Apex runtime identifies it as a test method eligible for execution and coverage tracking. Options A, B, and C are incorrect: test methods take no parameters, there is no TestInterface to implement, and test methods must return void rather than an Integer.

Answer

The test method must accept a List of SObjects as a parameter.

Answer

The test class must implement the TestInterface interface.

Answer

The test method must return an Integer value representing success.

Question 9

A developer is building a Lightning Web Component and needs to dispatch a custom event. Which constructor should be used to create the event?

Accepted Answer

CustomEvent. In Lightning Web Components, custom events are created using the CustomEvent constructor. The syntax is `new CustomEvent('eventName', { detail: {...} })`. This is the standard DOM API for creating custom events, and LWC uses it to dispatch events from child to parent components.

Answer

Event

Answer

AuraEvent

Answer

LightningEvent

Question 10

A developer is debugging a process that involves asynchronous Apex. Which Debug Log setting is required to see the output of the @future method?

Accepted Answer

Apex Code trace flag set to DEBUG.. To see the output of an @future method in debug logs, the Apex Code trace flag must be set to DEBUG or higher. The @future method runs asynchronously, and its debug output is captured under the Apex Code category, so the trace flag must be active for that category.

Answer

System log at INFO level.

Answer

Validation rules set to ON.

Answer

Profiling level set to FINEST.

Question 11

A developer is troubleshooting a complex set of triggers and wants to restrict the amount of debug log data captured for a specific integration user. Which THREE actions can the developer take to manage debug logs effectively? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Use a Debug Level configuration to define the verbosity for individual log categories.. Option A is correct because Debug Levels in Salesforce are reusable configurations that let you set the granularity (NONE, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, FINE, FINER, FINEST) for each log category, so a developer can reduce captured data for the integration user. Option B is correct because within a Debug Level you can individually tune categories such as Database, Workflow, Apex Code, Callout, and Validation to lower verbosity and thereby shrink log size. Option C is correct because a Trace Flag scopes logging to a specific user (the integration user) and enforces a start and end time, ensuring logs are only generated during the desired window and expire automatically. Option D is not correct because Company Information does not expose an organization-wide default debug level; logging is controlled through Trace Flags and Debug Levels in Setup. Option E is not correct because Apex logging levels are not defined in custom metadata types; they are configured via Debug Levels and Trace Flags.

Answer

Modify the organization-wide default debug level in Company Information.

Answer

Set up Apex Logging levels directly inside custom metadata types.

Question 12

A developer needs to check the status of a long-running batch job that was triggered by an Apex class. Where should they look?

Accepted Answer

Apex Jobs.. The status of a long-running batch job triggered by an Apex class can be monitored in the Apex Jobs page in Setup. This page lists all asynchronous Apex jobs, including batch jobs, and shows their status, progress, and any errors.

Answer

Deployment Status.

Answer

Debug Logs.

Answer

System Overview.

Question 13

A developer needs to format a currency value according to the user's locale in a Lightning Web Component HTML template. Which base component should be used?

Accepted Answer

lightning-formatted-number. lightning-formatted-number is the correct base component because it formats numeric values, including currency, according to the user's locale. It supports a 'format-style' attribute set to 'currency' and automatically applies the correct currency symbol, decimal separator, and grouping based on the user's locale settings. This is the standard LWC component for locale-aware number formatting.

Answer

lightning-input

Answer

apex:outputText

Answer

ui:outputCurrency

Question 14

When calling Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(), what happens to the governor limits?

Accepted Answer

Governor limits are reset to zero for the code between the two calls.. Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest() create a fresh governor limit boundary for the code executed between them. Any limits consumed before startTest() are not counted against the code inside the block, and the block gets its own set of limits (e.g., 100 SOQL queries, 150 DML statements). This allows developers to test code that would otherwise exceed limits when combined with test setup data creation.

Answer

Governor limits are increased by a factor of 10.

Answer

Test.stopTest() forces an immediate deployment.

Answer

Governor limits are ignored entirely.

Question 15

Which tool is best for automating a process that requires UI interaction, such as a wizard screen?

Accepted Answer

Flow Builder. Flow Builder is the only declarative tool among the options that can present screen elements (wizard-style UI) to users, collecting input across multiple steps and then performing logic or DML. Screen Flows are specifically designed for guided UI interaction, making Flow Builder the correct choice for automating a process that requires a wizard screen.

Answer

Future Method

Answer

Batch Apex

Answer

Apex Trigger
