SALESFORCE-PD1 Process Automation And Logic Practice Test 8 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A developer is writing an Apex trigger and needs to ensure proper bulkification. Which TWO practices should the developer follow to avoid governor limits? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Perform SOQL queries and DML operations outside of loops.. Bulkification requires processing data in collections (lists/sets) and placing all DML and SOQL operations outside of loops.

Answer

Use single record DML statements inside a standard for-loop.

Answer

Hardcode record IDs to query specific test records.

Answer

Annotate the trigger with @future to ensure asynchronous bulk processing.

Question 2

During the Salesforce order of execution, which THREE actions occur AFTER the system executes 'after' triggers? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Execution of Assignment Rules.. After triggers run towards the end of the transaction. Subsequent steps include assignment rules, workflow rules, and database commit.

Answer

Execution of before insert triggers.

Answer

Execution of custom validation rules.

Question 3

Which TWO statements are true regarding Queueable Apex compared to future methods? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Queueable Apex returns an AsyncApexJob ID that can be used to monitor job progress.. Queueable Apex offers job IDs for tracking and supports complex data types, unlike future methods.

Answer

Future methods support chaining multiple jobs sequentially.

Answer

Queueable Apex cannot perform HTTP callouts.

Answer

Queueable Apex methods must be annotated with @future.

Question 4

A developer is designing a Batch Apex class that processes millions of records. Which THREE elements are required components of a valid Batch Apex implementation? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Implementation of the start method returning a Database.QueryLocator or Iterable.. Batch Apex classes must implement the Database.Batchable interface and define start, execute, and finish methods.

Answer

Implementation of the Database.AllowsCallouts interface automatically.

Question 5

When should a developer choose to implement Schedulable Apex? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

To execute long-running batch processing or maintenance tasks periodically.. Schedulable Apex is used to run Apex classes at scheduled times or intervals, such as nightly batch jobs or periodic maintenance tasks.

Answer

To respond instantly to record inserts or updates.

Answer

To handle immediate real-time user interface validation.

Answer

To perform synchronous HTTP callouts directly from a Lightning Component button.

Question 6

Which THREE statements are accurate regarding asynchronous Apex governor limits and best practices? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous Apex transactions have higher limits for SOQL queries and heap size compared to synchronous transactions.. Asynchronous Apex provides higher governor limits, but developers must avoid chaining loops and respect daily limits.

Answer

Future methods can call other future methods recursively.

Answer

Asynchronous Apex jobs execute immediately without waiting in a queue.

Question 7

Which TWO criteria help a developer decide between using a Record-Triggered Flow and an Apex Trigger? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Record-Triggered Flows provide declarative maintenance and faster build times for standard business logic.. Flow vs Apex decisions often depend on declarative preference, complexity, skill set, and architectural needs.

Answer

Apex Triggers cannot be deactivated without deploying code changes.

Answer

Record-Triggered Flows cannot run asynchronously.

Answer

Flows cannot execute before-save updates.

Question 8

A developer is troubleshooting a Batch Apex job that fails intermittently. Which THREE methods or properties are part of the Database.BatchableContext interface available in batch execution? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

getId(). Database.BatchableContext provides methods to get job IDs and batch IDs during execution.

Answer

getAssociatedId()

Answer

getChildJobId()

Question 9

A developer needs to execute long-running computations that require complex chaining and the ability to pass non-primitive data types to the job. Which asynchronous feature should the developer implement?

Accepted Answer

Queueable Apex. Queueable Apex supports the Database.AllowsCallouts interface, allows chaining of jobs, and accepts member variables of non-primitive types such as custom objects.

Answer

Schedulable Apex

Answer

Future methods

Answer

Batch Apex

Question 10

An Apex trigger needs to update fields on the same record that is currently being inserted in a Before Insert trigger context. How should the developer implement this update?

Accepted Answer

Assign values directly to the fields on the records in Trigger.new.. In a before insert trigger, records are already in memory and have not yet been saved to the database. Developers can modify fields directly on the Trigger.new records without calling an explicit DML operation.

Answer

Use an immediate DML statement update Trigger.new; inside the trigger.

Answer

Instantiate a separate list of the same records and call database.insert().

Answer

Utilize an after insert trigger to perform an update DML operation.

Question 11

A developer is evaluating whether to use a Record-Triggered Flow or an Apex Trigger for a new automation requirement that involves complex callouts to an external system and heavy database operations. Which architectural guideline should the developer follow?

Accepted Answer

Use an Apex trigger combined with future methods or Queueable Apex to handle callouts asynchronously.. Record-Triggered Flows cannot execute synchronous callouts directly. Apex must be used when callouts are required in a synchronous transactional context, or Queueable Apex can handle asynchronous callouts.

Answer

Use a Record-Triggered Flow with asynchronous paths for all callout requirements.

Answer

Use an Apex trigger with synchronous callouts to ensure immediate data consistency.

Answer

Use a Record-Triggered Flow because it handles synchronous HTTP callouts natively.

Question 12

In the Salesforce Order of Execution, when are validation rules evaluated relative to Apex triggers?

Accepted Answer

After Before triggers fire and before the record is saved to the database. Validation rules are executed after the 'Before' triggers fire and before the record is saved to the database.

Answer

Before any Before triggers fire

Answer

Concurrently with After triggers

Answer

After the record is committed to the database and After triggers complete

Question 13

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 14

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 15

Which TWO actions are valid best practices when writing robust Batch Apex classes to adhere to governor limits and maintain data integrity? Choose 2 options.

Accepted Answer

Implement Database.Stateful only when it is necessary to maintain state across transaction chunks.. Batch Apex classes should utilize Database.getQueryLocator for large datasets to avoid heap size limits, and stateful tracking should be minimized unless specifically required to track aggregate metrics across batches.

Answer

Call external web service callouts synchronously for every single record inside the execute method without batching.

Answer

Query all related child records in the start method without considering heap size limits.

Answer

Hardcode record type IDs inside the execute method to save SOQL queries.
