SALESFORCE-PD1 Process Automation And Logic Practice Test 6 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A developer needs to write a unit test for a Queueable Apex class. How should the developer verify that the Queueable job executed successfully?

Accepted Answer

Enclose the execution within Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(), then query for the resulting record changes.. Queueable jobs executed inside Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest() run synchronously upon reaching stopTest(), allowing assertions to be checked immediately after.

Answer

Use System.assertAsync() to poll the job status table.

Answer

Query the AsyncApexJob table without Test.stopTest().

Answer

Call the queueable execute method directly in a try-catch block.

Question 2

Which governor limit applies to the total CPU time in a single synchronous Apex transaction?

Accepted Answer

10,000 milliseconds. The synchronous CPU time limit is 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds).

Answer

60,000 milliseconds

Answer

5,000 milliseconds

Answer

120,000 milliseconds

Question 3

A developer is troubleshooting a Batch Apex job where records are failing to update intermittently due to record locking contention with concurrent updates. What is the recommended strategy to mitigate record locking?

Accepted Answer

Process records in smaller batch sizes and ensure parent records are sorted or processed in a deterministic order.. Sorting records in the start method query using FOR UPDATE or structuring batches by parent groups can reduce locking, and processing smaller batch sizes can also help.

Answer

Increase the batch size to the maximum of 2,000 to complete faster.

Answer

Convert the batch job into a synchronous trigger.

Answer

Disable all validation rules on the object permanently.

Question 4

A developer writes an Apex trigger that performs a DML operation on Account records. The Account has a Roll-Up Summary field calculated from child Contact records. What happens during the order of execution regarding roll-up summary field calculations?

Accepted Answer

Roll-up summary fields on the parent record are calculated after child DML and can trigger parent-level rules and triggers.. Roll-up summary fields are recalculated by Salesforce after DML operations on child records and before the transaction completes, triggering parent rules.

Answer

Roll-up summary fields are calculated before before-triggers fire.

Answer

Roll-up summaries are deferred until a nightly batch runs.

Answer

Roll-up summary calculations never trigger parent triggers.

Question 5

A developer is designing a complex data validation and transformation process. Which TWO scenarios are best implemented using an Apex Trigger rather than a Record-Triggered Flow? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Executing complex custom algorithms requiring recursive method calls and dynamic exception handling across multiple wrapper classes.. Apex triggers excel at complex integrations (callouts) and custom exception handling across multiple distinct object hierarchies that exceed declarative flow capabilities.

Answer

Sending a standard email notification template when a status changes.

Answer

Updating a simple custom field on the same record before it is saved.

Answer

Creating a task for a lead owner upon lead assignment.

Question 6

A developer needs to write a Batch Apex class that processes records and ensures atomicity per batch chunk. Which TWO statements are true regarding Database.Batchable execution and error handling? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Using Database.DMLOptions or Database.insert(list, false) enables partial processing of records within a chunk without failing the entire batch.. Using Database.insert(records, false) allows partial success within a batch chunk, and state can be maintained across chunks if Database.Stateful is used.

Answer

Batch Apex chunks automatically roll back entirely if a single record fails, regardless of DML settings.

Answer

Batch Apex jobs cannot be monitored programmatically via Apex code.

Answer

The finish method executes before all execute chunks have completed.

Question 7

Which TWO best practices should a developer follow when writing bulkified Apex triggers? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Perform DML statements and SOQL queries outside of loops by utilizing collections.. Bulkified triggers must operate on collections (Trigger.new) and avoid SOQL/DML inside loops.

Answer

Hardcode record IDs in trigger logic to route specific test accounts.

Answer

Use synchronous callouts directly inside before insert triggers.

Answer

Place SOQL queries inside loops to ensure every record gets fresh data.

Question 8

A developer is analyzing the Salesforce order of execution for a record update. Which TWO events occur AFTER custom validation rules are evaluated? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Execution of Assignment Rules and Escalation Rules.. After triggers and assignment rules occur after custom validation rules in the save order of execution.

Answer

Execution of Before Triggers.

Answer

Execution of custom validation rules

Answer

Execution of initial system validation (such as required field checks).

Question 9

A developer is choosing between Future methods and Queueable Apex. Which TWO characteristics are unique to Queueable Apex? (Choose TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Queueable Apex returns an AsyncApexJob ID that can be used to monitor job progress.. Queueable Apex supports complex objects and job chaining, unlike future methods.

Answer

Queueable Apex methods can be called synchronously from inside formula fields.

Answer

Queueable Apex does not support asynchronous job chaining.

Answer

Queueable Apex restricts external HTTP callouts entirely.

Question 10

Which THREE limitations apply to Apex Triggers? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Triggers cannot perform DML statements directly without bulkification consideration (though syntax allows it, governor limits prevent it). Let's use: Triggers cannot use return types or be called directly from user interface buttons without wrapper classes/flows.. Triggers cannot make synchronous callouts, cannot use custom web service annotations directly on trigger bodies, and have limits on stack depth.

Answer

Triggers cannot be defined on standard objects, only custom objects.

Answer

Triggers cannot process more than 200 records in a single batch chunk.

Question 11

A developer is designing an asynchronous architecture using Batch Apex. Which THREE considerations must be kept in mind regarding Batch Apex behavior? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Up to 5 batch jobs can be in execution concurrently for a single organization.. Batch apex jobs are queued in the Flex queue, can execute up to 5 concurrent jobs, and can maintain state using Stateful.

Answer

The maximum batch size query locator limit is 200 records maximum.

Answer

Batch Apex automatically executes synchronously if triggered from a Visualforce controller.

Question 12

A developer needs to schedule an Apex class to run weekly. Which THREE elements are required to implement Schedulable Apex? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

The public class must implement the Schedulable interface.. Schedulable Apex requires implementing the Schedulable interface, defining the execute method, and scheduling via System.schedule with a Cron expression.

Answer

The class must extend the Controller class.

Answer

The class must implement Database.Batchable<SObject>.

Question 13

Which THREE trigger context variables are available ONLY in insert and update triggers (not delete triggers)? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Trigger.newMap. Trigger.new, Trigger.newMap, and Trigger.oldMap are available in insert/update contexts (oldMap is update only, new/newMap are insert/update). Let's check exact availability: Trigger.new and Trigger.newMap are available on insert and update (and undelete for new). Trigger.old and Trigger.oldMap are available on update and delete. Let's frame the question around variables available in Trigger insert/update events vs delete.

Answer

Trigger.old

Answer

Trigger.oldMap

Question 14

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 15

A developer is troubleshooting a transaction that exceeds governor limits due to SOQL queries. Which THREE techniques help prevent hitting SOQL query limits in Apex? (Choose THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Using maps and collections to store query results and perform in-memory lookups instead of querying inside loops.. Avoiding queries in loops, using aggregate queries, and caching results in maps/collections help avoid SOQL query limit issues.

Answer

Executing SOQL queries inside a for loop iterating over all child records.

Answer

Calling Database.query() for every single record processed in a trigger.
