Salesforce Updated Development-Lifecycle-and-Deployment-Architect Exam Questions and Answers by chelsea

Change sets provide an easy way to deploy related components, as they allow the user to select the components from a list and add them to the change set. They also provide a simple and declarative method for deployment, as they do not require any coding or scripting. Change sets do not provide the ability to deploy a very large number of components easily, as they have a limit of 10,000 components per change set. They also do not provide the ability to track changes to components, as they do not have any version control or history features.

Two testing types that an architect should recommend to ensure users don’t face platform slowdowns during peak business hours are: stress testing and performance testing. Stress testing is the process of testing the system under extreme load conditions, such as a large number of concurrent requests, to determine its breaking point and identify any potential bottlenecks or failures. Performance testing is the process of testing the system under normal or expected load conditions, such as the average number of requests per day, to measure its response time, throughput, and resource utilization. These testing types can help ensure that the web service can handle the expected volume and frequency of requests, and that it meets the performance and reliability requirements. Unit testing is not a testing type that an architect should recommend for this scenario, as it is the process of testing individual units of code, such as methods or classes, to verify their functionality and logic. Load testing is also not a testing type that an architect should recommend for this scenario, as it is the process of testing the system under a specific load condition, such as a fixed number of requests, to evaluate its behavior and performance. See Testing RESTful Web Services for more details.

Deploying unsupported components manually before/after deployment is the best way to address the issue of Metadata API not supporting all the components yet. Metadata API is a powerful tool for deploying changes between orgs, but it does not cover all the metadata types that are available in Salesforce. Some examples of unsupported components are email templates, dashboards, reports, and custom settings. These components need to be deployed manually by using other tools or methods, such as change sets, data loader, or manual configuration.

 A and C are the advantages of using an Agile Project Management tool, as they provide visibility into the project progress and status, and consolidate the project artifacts in a common repository. B is not an advantage of using an Agile Project Management tool, as it depends on the communication and collaboration skills of the team members and stakeholders. D is not an advantage of using an Agile Project Management tool, as it is more related to the governance framework and methodology of the project
