Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer — Question 1

Universal Containers (UC) has three types of releases in their release management strategy: daily, minor (monthly), and major (quarterly). UC is releasing a new Service Cloud implementation to a large support center, which will require lengthy training and change management. The implementation has dependencies on the existing Salesforce Sales Cloud implemental.
What release strategy would an Architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Utilize the minor release process to create and test in production, bypassing the full sandbox.
• B. Utilize the daily release process and deploy directly to production, bypassing the full sandbox.
• C. Utilize the daily release process to create and test in a full sandbox and then deploy to production.
• D. Utilize the major release process to create and test in a full sandbox and then deploy to production.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it allows for thorough testing in a full sandbox environment before deployment, ensuring that any complexities associated with the Service Cloud implementation are addressed. Options A and B bypass the full sandbox, which is risky for significant changes, and D, while thorough, may not be as timely as the daily release process for immediate needs.
