Salesforce Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer — Question 8

Universal Containers is replacing an old legacy system with Salesforce.
Which two strategies should the plan consider to mitigate the risks associated with migrating data from the legacy system to Salesforce? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Identify the data relevant to the new system, including dependencies, and develop a plan/scripts for verification of data integrity.
• B. Migrate users in phases based on their function, requiring parallel use of legacy system and Salesforce for certain period of time.
• C. Use a full sandbox environment for all the systems involved, a full deployment plan with test data generation scripts, and full testing including integrations.
• D. Use a full sandbox environment and perform test runs of data migration scripts/processes with real data from the legacy system.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because it emphasizes the importance of identifying relevant data and ensuring its integrity through a structured verification process. Option D is also valid as it involves testing migration scripts with actual data, which helps identify issues before the full migration. Options B and C, while useful, do not directly address the specific risks associated with data integrity and migration validation.
