Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect — Question 34

Universal Containers just started configuration and customization of its Salesforce org. The architect suggested the definition of an application lifecycle management (ALM) process.

What are three benefits of following an ALM process? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Training new users after each minor and major release
• B. Defining metrics for application development project success
• C. Releasing new features on a consistent schedule
• D. Avoiding defects from being deployed to production
• E. Preventing existing working functionality from stopping

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

Following an ALM process offers several benefits, including the ability to train new users effectively after each release (A), which ensures they are up-to-date with the latest features. Additionally, defining metrics for project success (B) provides a clear benchmark for evaluating development efforts, and preventing existing functionality from ceasing to work (E) helps maintain system reliability. The other options, while relevant to development practices, do not specifically highlight the core benefits of an ALM process.
