A developer wants to ensure that test methods in a managed package upgrade test all triggers and classes, and needs to bypass existing organization test data to use only packaged data. Which annotation parameter should be used?

A developer needs to write a unit test that verifies user permissions and accessibility before executing business logic. Which TWO methods or classes are valid for simulating different user contexts in Apex tests? (Choose two.)

Which annotation allows a private method in an Apex class to be visible to unit test classes for assertion purposes?

A developer wants to test an asynchronous future method. Where must the developer place the asynchronous code execution so that it runs synchronously and within the test context?

A developer is analyzing a debug log and notices that it is truncated because it exceeded the maximum file size limit. Which action should the developer take to capture only the relevant Apex code execution details without exceeding the limit?

A developer receives a System.LimitException: Too many SOQL queries: 101 when running a complex unit test. The test class inserts a large volume of test records that inadvertently cause a trigger to execute multiple queries inside a loop. What is the most effective way to reset the governor limits specifically for the code being tested?

A developer is writing a unit test that executes under a specific user context to verify sharing rules. Which method should the developer use to specify the user for the subsequent test operations?

A developer wants to view real-time debug log streaming in their local environment using the Salesforce CLI. Which command should the developer execute?

A developer is writing a test method that performs a callout to an external REST service. Which interface must the developer implement to provide mock responses during the unit test execution?

A developer has written a test method that requires a large volume of test data to be set up. To avoid writing duplicate data setup code across multiple test methods in the same class, which annotation should the developer use?

A developer needs to write a unit test to verify that a trigger correctly inserts related Task records when a custom object record is created. Which annotation should the developer place on the test class method to ensure it runs correctly and can access existing org data if needed?

A developer is using Salesforce CLI to create a temporary environment for feature development and testing that includes all source code and shape settings. Which CLI command should the developer use to create this temporary environment?

A developer is deploying a profile and custom fields using an Unmanaged Change Set. Upon deployment, some custom field permissions fail to apply correctly in production. What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

A developer is preparing to deploy metadata changes from a sandbox to a production org using Outbound Change Sets. Where must the administrator or developer establish the connection between the two organizations?

A developer has written a Lightning Web Component and Apex controller, and wants to deploy only these specific metadata components to a production org using Salesforce CLI without relying on change sets. Which command is appropriate?

A developer needs to verify code coverage across an entire Apex organization before deploying code to production. What is the minimum overall Apex code coverage required by Salesforce for production deployment?

A developer runs unit tests in the Developer Console and notices that one test method fails when run as part of the entire test class, but passes successfully when run in isolation. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A developer is writing a unit test and needs to assert that a specific custom exception was thrown during invalid input processing. Which pattern should the developer use?

A developer wants to inspect the code coverage of individual classes directly within the Salesforce Developer Console. Under which tab can the developer view this breakdown?

Which TWO actions occur automatically when Test.stopTest() is called in an Apex unit test? (Choose two.)

Frequently asked questions

What does the SALESFORCE-PD1 exam test about Testing Debugging And Deployment?
Testing Debugging And Deployment questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
How should I use these practice questions?
Select your answer before revealing the explanation. Then read why each option is right or wrong — this active recall approach builds retention far faster than re-reading notes.
Can I practise just Testing Debugging And Deployment questions in a focused session?
Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Testing Debugging And Deployment domain. Use a 10-question session first to gauge your baseline, then move to 20 or 30 once the weak spots are clear.
