SALESFORCE-PD1 Testing Debugging And Deployment Practice Test 3 — 15 Questions

Question 1

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 2

A developer is deploying metadata from a sandbox to a production org using Salesforce CLI. Which command should the developer use to validate the deployment without actually saving components to the target organization?

Accepted Answer

sf project deploy start --dry-run. The sf project deploy start command includes a dry-run or check-only validation flag. In modern Salesforce CLI (sf), it is --dry-run.

Answer

sf project retrieve start --validate

Answer

sf project deploy validate

Answer

sf org check deploy

Question 3

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 reset governor limits within the block.

Answer

Governor limits are increased by a factor of 10.

Answer

Test.stopTest() forces an immediate deployment.

Answer

Governor limits are ignored entirely.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of the Salesforce CLI in a CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

To automate metadata deployment and package management.. The Salesforce CLI is the fundamental tool for programmatically interacting with Salesforce Orgs in automation.

Answer

To provide a visual interface for Change Sets.

Answer

To run unit tests manually.

Answer

To debug Apex in a GUI.

Question 5

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.. Trace flags control log levels and duration for users, classes, or triggers. Log categories allow filtering verbosity.

Answer

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

Answer

Set up Apex Logging levels directly inside custom metadata types.

Question 6

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 7

When deploying code using Unmanaged Change Sets between connected Salesforce organizations, which TWO limitations or behaviors apply? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Some standard fields and standard objects cannot be included in change sets.. Change sets require inbound connection approval, and certain components require manual post-deployment steps or cannot be included.

Answer

Apex classes deployed via change sets are automatically executed in production for code coverage validation upon upload.

Answer

Change sets support full rollback of the entire deployment if any single component fails.

Answer

Change sets automatically delete components from the target organization if they are removed from the source.

Question 8

A developer wants to ensure that specific test data is available to all test methods in a class without recreating it. Which method should be used?

Accepted Answer

Use @testSetup.. @testSetup methods are executed once per class and set up data for all methods.

Answer

Use a static constructor.

Answer

Use a private method called by all tests.

Answer

Use Test.loadData().

Question 9

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.. Setting the Apex Code level to DEBUG is necessary to see standard logs.

Answer

System log at INFO level.

Answer

Validation rules set to ON.

Answer

Profiling level set to FINEST.

Question 10

Which tool is best suited for migrating metadata between two related Salesforce Orgs using a UI-based approach?

Accepted Answer

Change Sets.. Change Sets are designed for moving metadata between linked Salesforce Orgs.

Answer

Force.com IDE.

Answer

Salesforce CLI.

Answer

Metadata API.

Question 11

Which annotation is required for a method to be recognized by the Apex test runner?

Accepted Answer

@isTest.. @isTest is the required annotation for test classes and methods.

Answer

@testMethod.

Answer

@TestVisible.

Answer

@future.

Question 12

When deploying via Metadata API, what happens if a test class fails during the deployment?

Accepted Answer

The deployment fails and rolls back all changes.. The entire deployment fails by default unless specified otherwise.

Answer

Only the failing test class is ignored.

Answer

The deployment succeeds but flags a warning.

Answer

The deployment continues but prevents Apex compilation.

Question 13

Which TWO of the following are valid ways to specify which tests to run in the Salesforce CLI?

Accepted Answer

sfdx force:apex:test:run -c. The CLI allows running specific classes or classes within a namespace.

Answer

sfdx force:apex:test:run -s

Answer

sfdx force:apex:test:run -f

Answer

sfdx force:apex:test:run -u

Question 14

Which THREE items are included in a debug log?

Accepted Answer

System.debug statements.. Debug logs contain execution details for DML, SOQL, and custom user debug messages.

Answer

Browser cookies.

Answer

User password history.

Question 15

If a developer uses 'SeeAllData=true' in a test class, what are the primary risks?

Accepted Answer

It makes tests dependent on the state of the organization's existing data.. It relies on existing organization data, making tests brittle and dependent on external state.

Answer

It prevents the use of Test.startTest().

Answer

It causes the Apex compiler to error.

Answer

It increases the test execution time significantly.
