Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Architect — Question 39

Universal Containers (UC) has noticed that unit tests are failing in production during deployments and in no other environments. Investigations have revealed that administrators are making minor changes in production without regard to dependent components.

What two suggestions can the architect make to help UC discover these failing unit tests earlier? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ask administrators to run unit tests before every change.
• B. Stop administrators from making all changes.
• C. Ensure a metadata backup is committed to version control every day and a diff published to the release team.
• D. Train the administrators to make their changes in a special “admin changes” sandbox, and then promote to production.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, focus on proactive measures to identify issues before they impact production. Asking administrators to run unit tests before changes ensures that any potential issues are caught early. Training them to use a dedicated sandbox allows for testing in isolation, which minimizes the risk of affecting production. Options B and C, while potentially helpful, do not directly address the root cause of the failing unit tests or promote a testing culture.
