SALESFORCE-PD1 Practice Test 23 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A developer needs to execute a lightweight background task that does not require complex chaining or monitoring. Which asynchronous feature is easiest to implement for a single method call?

Accepted Answer

Future Method. Future methods are the simplest way to run asynchronous code when no complex state or chaining is needed.

Answer

Batch Apex

Answer

Schedulable Apex

Answer

Custom Invocable Action

Question 2

What is the maximum number of batch Apex jobs that can be queued or active concurrently in the Apex flex queue?

Accepted Answer

100. The Apex flex queue holds up to 100 batch jobs waiting to be processed.

Answer

50

Answer

5

Answer

500

Question 3

A developer needs to ensure that a custom logging operation runs asynchronously and can be monitored using job IDs. Which interface is best suited?

Accepted Answer

Queueable. Queueable Apex provides job IDs upon enqueueing, allowing for tracking and monitoring.

Answer

Schedulable

Answer

Database.AllowsCallouts

Answer

Database.Batchable

Question 4

A developer is building a solution that requires complex branching logic. When should the developer choose Apex over Flow?

Accepted Answer

When complex procedural logic is needed. Apex should be used when complex logic is required that cannot be represented in the Flow canvas, such as complex loops or high-performance algorithms.

Answer

When updating fields

Answer

When using standard objects

Answer

When sending emails

Question 5

Which THREE items are valid considerations when designing Batch Apex?

Accepted Answer

The execute method accepts a list of SObjects. Batch Apex requires start, execute, and finish methods and is subject to specific heap and query limits.

Answer

The finish method is optional

Answer

Batch apex can be called from a trigger synchronously

Question 6

In the Salesforce order of execution, when are assignment rules evaluated relative to Apex triggers?

Accepted Answer

After Before Triggers and before After Triggers.. Assignment rules run after the insert or update before triggers and standard validations, but before after triggers.

Answer

Concurrently with workflow rules.

Answer

After all triggers have completely finished.

Answer

Before any triggers execute.

Question 7

When comparing Flow Builder decision points and Apex trigger logic, which THREE statements are valid design considerations? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Apex triggers provide superior control for complex exception handling and multi-object transaction orchestration.. Flows are declarative, easier to maintain, and execute within governor limits, whereas Apex handles complex integrations and high-volume data manipulations.

Answer

Apex triggers are executed after all Flow Builder automations have completed.

Answer

Flow Builder cannot invoke Apex actions.

Question 8

Which governor limit is associated with the total number of SOQL queries issued in a single synchronous transaction?

Accepted Answer

100. The limit for synchronous SOQL queries is 100.

Answer

10

Answer

50

Answer

200

Question 9

An asynchronous @future method is called from within an Apex test method. When are the statements inside the @future method actually executed during the test run?

Accepted Answer

After the Test.stopTest() method is executed. Asynchronous methods called in tests are queued and executed synchronously after the Test.stopTest() statement.

Answer

Immediately when the line invoking the @future method is reached

Answer

At the end of the test method automatically without needing Test.stopTest()

Answer

In a separate transaction concurrently while the test method continues running

Question 10

A developer needs to verify that a trigger correctly handles bulk data, specifically 250 records. What is the most effective approach?

Accepted Answer

Use a loop to create 250 test records and insert them.. Testing with a collection of records validates bulkification and prevents governor limit exceptions.

Answer

Create a single record in the test class.

Answer

Use @isTest(isParallel=true) to increase speed.

Answer

Execute the trigger from the Developer Console.

Question 11

What is the primary benefit of using a Sandbox for development?

Accepted Answer

It allows development without affecting production data.. Sandboxes provide an isolated environment to prevent impact on production data or processes.

Answer

It allows access to the full production database automatically.

Answer

It increases the number of available governor limits.

Answer

It automatically deploys code to production.

Question 12

A developer is receiving 'Too many SOQL queries' errors in a trigger. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Executing SOQL inside a for loop.. Performing SOQL inside a loop is the primary cause of this error.

Answer

Using too many debug statements.

Answer

Not enough test coverage.

Answer

Using the wrong trigger event.

Question 13

A developer needs to abort a scheduled Apex job programmatically from within a test class or maintenance script. Which method should be used?

Accepted Answer

System.abortJob(). System.abortJob(jobId) cancels a scheduled or flex-queued asynchronous job.

Answer

System.cancelJob()

Answer

apexJob.terminate()

Answer

Database.stopBatch()

Question 14

A developer has a requirement to update child Case records whenever a parent Account's status changes. The logic requires complex looping, exception handling, and handling up to 10,000 related records. Which tool should the developer choose according to Salesforce best practices?

Accepted Answer

Apex Trigger. Apex Triggers combined with Batch Apex or bulkified code are ideal for complex business logic involving high-volume child record updates that exceed declarative flow limits.

Answer

Workflow Rule

Answer

Record-Triggered Flow

Answer

Process Builder

Question 15

A developer implements a Queueable class that makes an external REST callout. The developer needs to test this class using Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(). What is required for the callout to succeed in the test method?

Accepted Answer

Implement the HttpCalloutMock interface and assign it using Test.setMock(). Callouts are not allowed in test methods unless mocked. The test must implement the HttpCalloutMock interface to simulate the response.

Answer

Set the remote site setting active in the test context.

Answer

Use the Database.AllowsCallouts interface on the test class.

Answer

Wrap the callout in a try-catch block to bypass test restrictions.
